Accidents on a triton Can that happen

Pleased to state I have been a triton owner for almost three years and no injuries to report. The pressure finger attached to the mitre fence makes ripping very safe IMHO.

Did get a kick back once using a sled on a cross cutting job. That was using a home made jig though.

The trouble with life is there's no background music.

Heard of a guy who cut his foot once.

He had taken the saw out of the workcenter, with the trigger strap still on and the safety guard tied back. Put the router and router table into the workcenter then turned the router switch on.

When he hit the switch on the workcenter, expecting to start the router, the saw took off across the floor and over his foot.

This was not IN a Triton, more out of a Triton.

The captive push stick and side pressure finger seem to avoid the easiest accidents, of fingers following the timber while the mind is distracted.

If rip fence is used as a length stop for cross cutting using the mitre guage (as advised against in the manual and videos), it can cause a bit of timber to fly across the room. This is more a general table saw sin than a Triton miss.

I have been using my Triton for gee over 12 years. Never an injury.

I have to agree with whats implied in tritonjapans post. if you can hurt yourself with a triton you will hurt yourself doing the same thing on a tablesaw, and you will avoid most mishaps if you read teh directions
