Instructions are what to puzzle over when all else fails, as in "is that how
it is supposed to work?"  What's a rip fence anyhow and why use a push stick
when God gave me hands ?

Most people take a minimum of 1/10th of a second to react to an emergency.
A table saw blade takes  464 bites out of a careless user in 1/10th of a
second (3480 rpm X 60 teeth on the saw blade / 60 seconds X 1/10 second) all
with a three horsepower to back up each bite.
