Summary:
This video is about table saw safety tips. Here are some of the important points:
An important safety feature is having an outfeed table. This will prevent you from reaching behind the saw to grab material and potentially coming into contact with the blade.
Stand to the side of the blade, not directly in line with it. This will help to keep you out of the line of fire if the material kicks back.
Use a push stick or push pad to help you feed material through the saw, especially for narrow cuts or long boards. This will keep your hands away from the blade.
Wear short sleeves or sleeves rolled up past your elbow, and avoid wearing jewelry or loose clothing.
Always use hearing and eye protection when using the saw.
Keep the guard in place on the saw whenever possible. Only remove it if you need to make a blind cut, and use a riving knife in its place.
Disconnect the main power before changing the blade or making any adjustments to the saw.
Never press down on the material as it is passing over the blade.
By following these safety tips, you can help to prevent accidents when using the table saw.
