xkcd #3067: SawStart (xkcd.com)

Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of.

Much to the chagrin of both manufacturers, the company providing the labels for both SawStop and SawStart got mixed up and no one noticed. That is, until the calls started coming in.

Cannot be stopped, you say? How about you attach a generator to that blade before you start it.
