While it may seem harmless for the weekend woodworker to crack open a beer (or six) while working on a project, avoid the temptation until you’re finished with the woodworking.

Remember that switches can be inadvertently bumped or malfunction, so just because the blade has stopped, don’t relax and put your hands too close.
