Ally You can at least put some sheet metal between your skin and the tool, like at least something very slim and tough. Credit cards if you have nothing else. Cover your eyes and don't let the tool bounce or get caught, be able to stop the tool if it gets stuck, the worst that could happen is a tool gets stuck between you and your belt and keeps running to cut into you.
I don't approve of this at least you could get a man you trust to help out for safety???
