    The saw oscillates, not spinning

    I broke my arm @ 4YO. When they went to cut the cast off, I saw the saw. I knew what a circular saw looked like, what it sounded like, and what it did.

    *Nobody* in that room told me that it did not spin. I was absolutely terrified.

    That happened to me when I was 6. They said it wouldn’t cut me, but I was bleeding from the saw when the cast came off.

    I would always touch the running saw to my forearm before I cut the cast off to show it wouldn’t hurt
