- Lines: 12

- My ex father-n-law (a craftsman by traid) had a technique for increasing
- ras safety.
-
- When pulling the carrage forward he would lock his arm strate at the elbow
- and do all the pulling with his sholder and back. If the blade grabs and tries
- to jump forward it has to push your whole boddy back (pretty hard to do) insted
- of just buckel (your already bent arm) at the elbow.
-
- I've been doing this for years now and have been saved severaly runnaways
- because of it.
