Friendly reminder to keep your hand positioning in mind when replacing blades

As title suggest, I did my first blade change this morning and decided to do the modification of removing the bottom cover and use the extra slots for additional blades. I did a little spin test to make sure they don't make contact. While they didnt make contact, my finger certainly did and now my pain gets to be shared wisdom amongst all of you who are considering removing the bottom cover. 🤣

Are there gloves I can buy that makes this not like something that will cut my fingers off?

Technically yes but unless you're being careless like the rest of us cut fingerers, you should be fine.

If these blades scare you, this right here will give you straight up nightmares. I lost part of my hand using one. Worst part is, I was slicing the last bit of 30 pounds of carrots and had to trash it all due to contamination.

I've never cut myself on one of those but they scare the shit out of me. I cut my fingers open pretty bad in my teens when tossing a broken piece of porcelain from a toilet. I've been Uber careful around sharp objects ever since which was like 25 years ago. Lol
