congrats.

as long as you don’t get too comfy with ANY tool that you become neglectful you’ll do just fine. like said before – I always made sure I keep an eye contact with where my hands are – and make sure they are NOT anywhere over the TS insert – that’s what I defined to myself as the RED zone (not surprisingly they make the inserts RED by default) and if a cut requires me to have my hand go in that zone – I stop and rethink how to make the cut with my hands NOT there (push blocks, sliding jig, etc).
