There are several hazards you need to be aware of when using a table saw.
There are several hazards you need to be aware of when using a table saw.
* The blade is very sharp and it spins very fast. Keep your fingers away from the blade even when its not spinning. Use a push stick to keep your fingers a safe distance from the blade.
* Keep your fingers away from moving parts.
* Never place your finger under the needle.
* Hold onto material firmly and keep it against the table and fence to help prevent the material from catching on the blade. If material catches on the blade the material can shoot back at you and this is called a kickback.
