Safety Concerns
The Roland is a very safe machine as long as you are smart about using it. The main danger existing is putting your hand near the machine while the machine is in motion. This is because the blade only protrudes from the head when it is cutting. Putting your finger/hair near the machine can cause damage to yourself. Also when you are changing the blade, make sure you have the machine off so it doesn't start moving while you are working on it.
