First of all, safety kits. Always wear safety kits like safety goggles or glasses, dust mask, face
shield, non-slip footwear, and hearing protection. Even you should be careful about your clothing
also.
Cloths that doesn’t fit perfectly, avoid them while using a table saw for professional stuff. Also,
avoid wearing any ornaments or jewellery, neckties, hand gloves, long sleeves.
Never forget to check your table before starting it. Check if the riving knife, blade guard, anti-
kickback pawls and spreaders are correctly adjusted or aligned. Check the entire setting, whether
all the parts are working strictly or not.
And of course, check the setting before turning on the power. Also, check if the throat plate
properly fits and has the perfect slot as required.
There are possibilities that the activated power connection can make the table saw accidentally
get started. It can be a seriously dangerous occurrence. So, why should you take a risk? If you're
not using the saw right now, disconnect its power source.
Also, if you need to change any part of the saw or any adjustment, make sure you disconnect the
power source first. Always let the saw blade stop wholly first and then you can leave the saw.
While cutting a stock, ensure that the height of the stock is not higher than the height of the
blade. It is going to help you not to lose a limb if your hand slips. While cutting a short stock,
make sure the adjustable rip fence is parallel to the blade. It will prevent the stock from binding
on the blade.
Not just that. You should also check the board you’re going to cut visually. The cutting board
shouldn’t contain any sharp objects like loose knot, screw, staple or nail.
Sometimes you need to cut such a board that doesn’t have enough width to cut regularly. That
moment, you need a push stick to cut the board entirely without keeping your finger in danger.
You can purchase a push stick or ask to build one to the woodworkers as you require. There are
push sticks available in different sizes and designs.
Are you tired or sleepy or on medication? If so, avoid using a table is such a condition. It's proven
that most of the accidents occur because of carelessness.
If you’re tired, sleepy or bored with the same procedure for a long time, stop using the table saw.
Give it a break as long as you need to refresh your mind or get out of the tiredness.
