      I'd have to look into.the finer points of how the thermo gun is hooked up but you could place it somewhere out of the way of what you're cutting but still near the blade and add a shield to keep the radius of where the thermometer is detecting near the blade, have a general range for human hand temp which will pretty much always be higher thsn anything else in range by a good amount, wire that to a kill switch that you wire to the power supply. Temp guns being a whole digital thing is probably beyond my immediate knowledge, don't know my way around a circuit board too good, but I do know a guy who builds my amps and pedals who for sure does.

          I guess just cutting power would do it, cause inertia. I have placed the cart ahead of the horse in that regard. It's sti super doable if built in and you shouldn't have to/its generally not a great idea DIY your own safety features anyway. I was saying I could probably handle it more to illustrate it shouldn't be all that difficult or expensive to implement professionally.

          Edit: also I should add even though I hope it's generally assumed, there is no safety implement someone can't get around if foolish enough. This can only ever serve as an additional wall of safety to hand guards etc thsn you should be using anyway. But it's still.dangerous gear and all the safety you can manage practically should be added, redundancy is good when.it can have limbs.
