I know what you mean. Mine was using a Ryobi Table saw on the floor cutting two foot off the width of an 8ft x4ft sheet of 19mm plywood. My own stupid fault trying to do it on my own and not having the saw fastened down on it's stand. The sheet tilted, blade grabbed it and threw it back at me. It broke my left shin and left a 2 inch gash with the bone showing through. I've still got the scar years later, also still got the saw :) A 1500W motor with a 10 inch blade at 4000 rpm packs a mean punch !
