The person must be fit enough to withstand the vibration and the kickback which occur during the time of contact between the tip of guide bar and the wood.

Abad wiring or a damage wire can contribute to such incident. In most cases where a person who handle using the device with wet hand can cause sudden flow of electricity towards the body instantly. The person will most likely lost consciousness and if it is severe it will cause death. The severity of the injury depends on the amount of electrical current and the length of time the flow of electricity into the body. A current above than 75 mA can be consider dangerous. A non-conductive material like rubber glove can be used to reduce the risk of electrocution while working. For further safety, a non-conductive sheet is place on the floor of working areas to prevent the flow of current onto the
