* Don’t feed anything into the blade you don’t want cut. First off, it makes no sense and it could pull other stuff into the midst, like your own body. That isn't a good scenario, so let's prevent that.
+
* Plan out your cut before making it. Wasting material isn't a good idea, and it's more time consuming when you mess up.
+
* Don't try to cut too tight of radius. See the blade curve chart before cutting curves.
+
* Use a push stick to keep your fingers at least 3" from the blade.
+
* Keep hands and fingers out of the "danger zone" in front of the blade.
+
* Hold work piece firmly on the table.
