I blatantly point out to everyone that yes, every machine you use has the ability to kill or maim you and it's your job to pay close attention to your work so that is prevented.

Protect your life.
Protect your brain.
Protect your eyes.
Protect your hands.
Protect your body.
Protect your ears.
Protect the machine.
Protect your work.

In that order. No part is worth a lifetime of disability. Parts are replaceable, machines are repairable, but you are not.
