Great warning graphic or greatest warning graphic ever?

[InternalDialogue]

I recently bought a radial arm saw (radical harm saw) from a used tool shop. The saw was missing a few attachments and didn't have a manual with it, so I searched online to find the appropriate documentation. In the manual were some of the best warning graphics I've ever seen, topped off by this one, which seems almost to be a dance move.


Warning -- Kickback!

Stop -- Hammertime!

1. LMAO!

I'm totally with you on the hip-hop warning -- kickback!

Mr. Brickbat was a union carpenter for many years -- I'll ask him if he ever saw one of these. Or did the move. Hee!

2. Is that a 2x4 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

3. "Do not look into laser with remaining eye"

I saw that when I was in the military; cannot remember where

8. "Knife is sharp; keep out of children" (nt)

5. I came terrifyingly close to having that happen

That warning should be believed! Seriously, that is a real danger with radial arms saws. I was ripping a piece of wood, it bound up and kicked back. Fortunately I was standing slightly to one side so the wood flew past me and dented the side of our workshop. The thing flew over ten feet and hit really hard, so I hate to think of what it would have done if it had hit me. Radial arm saws are NOT the best tool for ripping a piece wood. Cross cutting, fine, ripping -NO!

The other reason I got rid of the radial arm saw was that just after the thing threw the wood at me I found out my uncle cut three fingers off with his. The fingers were reattached - they even used leeches to keep the swelling down - but he never regained full use of them. I never even plugged the damn thing back in after that.

6. There's also launching out the exit side. I sent a piece flying like an arrow.

No joke. The radial arm saw is in the front of the garage. I had to trim a fairly slim piece off of a board and on exit, said piece shot straight across the garage and slammed into my workbench at the back wall.

7. Now I want to start a band called "Kickback" just to use that as an album cover.

Awesome! :thumbsup:
