re: TIPS: safety on the table saw

Use push blocks and push sticks to keep your hands clear of the saw blade

adjust the blade height only about an1/8th higher than the thickness of the material your ripping.

stand clear of any possible kick back when ripping wood.

When ripping longer material make sure you have the end of the material supported with a rolling stand or out feed table to avoid the end of your board lifting off of the blade at the end of the cut.

when ripping then strips have the thin strips to the outside or fall off side of the blade to avoid kick back.

Keep the floor saw dust free in front of the table saw to avoid loosing traction ,also when possible keep your hip in contact with the front of your table saw in case you do loose traction.
Keep you table saw top clean and waxed to avoid having to exsert to much pressure and avoid the wood from dragging.

don’t cross cut material without a sled or miter gauge .

Do not get distracted while using a table saw or and other woodworking tool

Keep your saw blades clean and sharp to avoid drag when ripping.

use a splitter or riving knife to avoid kick back.

If ripping wood or sheet goods that are to heavy for you to handle ,get help.

Never help pull material through a table saw from the back,you can pull the person’s hands sawing into the blade/

If you can afford a Sam Stop buy one.
