Yeah, please don't rely on your eye sight to tell you if a tool is operating. Every time a tool is running you should know it is because you started it to a specific purpose.
Before you start a tool you should act out your planned motion. Then start the tool and only perform this motion. If something changes and you cannot complete the motion, stop the tool immediately. Following this and a few other safety tips I've operated power tools for years without incident and I'm legally blind.
- derefr 8y ago> stop the tool immediately Okay, but, say you've configured the tool wrong and now it's destroying your work. You stop the tool. How soon is it safe to grab your work away from the work surface—i.e. when will it go from "it's too dangerous, let it keep destroying the work" to "it's now slow enough to pull the work off of the tool while it's still—slowly—running, to save the work from further damage"? That's a thing you have to figure out with your eyes (and ears).
