Yes, please don't wear gloves when working around (most) power tools.
My mom was wearing gloves when using the table saw one day. She nicked a finger in the blade and it caught on the fabric and pulled her hand in, mangling her fingers pretty badly. Plastic surgeon did a pretty good job reassembling her, but one finger (the one that ended up with a severed tendon) still can't bend properly.
- ilyt 4y agoTable saws generally come with whole slew of "just please fucking don't"[1]. My grand-grandpa lost a part of the thumb to it, which is still probably low price for a man working in construction most of his life in now-post-communist country where OSHA-equivalent didn't exist. Like, preferably don't even use hands at all to push it in the first place [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN_w0OD6oIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN_w0OD6oIs
