    If the way he starts the saw doesn't get him, using the miter guage with the rip fence will.

      Wow! Everyone knows you are supposed to turn the motor with the switch on. Then you won't have all those false starts.

        I don't know if that is a put-on but the scary thing is people do stuff just like that - everyday out there somewhere. Like the brothers who would trim their shrubs with a lawn mower that they'd pick up and trim with. Yeah, it slipped and one got his hand or fingers cut off. Some very brave people out there. Well, I was being polite when I used the word brave.

          Hey, at least the guy has a supporting wife that doesn't say a word as she films
          the whole thing. Oh yeah, don't forget about the little girl sitting in front of the
          saw waiting for the kickback. That would give a new reason why the little kid
          sings, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."

          Yikes!

            what about the fact that the power switch is on the back side of the saw. in an emergency he couldn't shut it off.

              I thoght it was hilarious with him wearing the dust mask and then doing all the other unsafe stuff.

              I really liked the part where he was all hung out standing on one leg, balancing the bucket on the end of a lever arm with the right hand, his left hand on the switch four feet over and his left foot pumping the pulley to get the saw motor to turn.

              If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

                This jerk is an excellent reason to require power tool permits, not pistol permits.

                He's gonna cause way more damage than a .45.

                Merry christmas.

                P.S. I hope his wife has a large life insurance policy on him, she's gopnna need it sooner or later, probably sooner.

                  Man, I sure hope this moron doesn't have the little girl any where around the saw during his cutting technique.

                    Why do I want to hurt him so bad? How did that not kick back? Where was his dust mask when he was making the saw dust? Why would someone do this? Any of it? Why? How? I don't understand. Brain melting . . . head hurts . . . . confusion . . . . . . . . . . . . why?

                        He needs to start back in Coping Saw 101.

                            Man, I could hardly watch that... just waiting for the thing to go "thump" and hear the scream.

                            There are way too many scary folks out there!!

                              And they didn't even show the part where he submerged the motor in water so he could clean the dust off the windings.
