As previously stated the hazards in man and machine all existed around my Maternal Grandfather's buzz saw.
It was front mounted on a well abused JD low seat standard chassis AR then later a l.s.s.c 60 .
Any guards were long gone as "they only got in the way, we don't need them and they slow down work.
The table frame still existed but the plank on top was partly broken/missing. "No time to repair it and the saw still works". The log of course would hang up when pushed across the table for the next cut.Then suddenly move as you pushed towards that screaming blade.
He would also saw as hard and as fast as possible letting the cut blocks pile up around the saw until it just wasn't possible to cut another block. Then reach in there right beside the blade and start yanking on blocks of wood to clear the blade.
It was usually raining or snowing on wood sawing days so they were walking and crawling on wet,muddy,icey wood and wood bark.
My Mother as a kid seen her GrandFather almost get sawed in half. He stumbled (no surprise and no shields). And fell face 1st towards the blade. He managed to get his hands out and stop himself without getting them cut off either. Great GrandFather was left with a wound from the tip of his nose, between his eyes and up his forehead.
I heard some body say the classic line one time and it's true." Some people were put on earth to be an example, others were put here as a warning".

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
