[Shop-talk] table saw safety (not)

[Pat Horne]

Other than the obvious stuff with the way he starts the motor:

Never use a fence and miter square at the same time. It is too easy to 
bind the wood and cause kick back. If you use the fence to set your 
dimension, put a small spacer at the front of the fence that the wood 
will be against for the measurement, but when you push the wood into the 
blade the wood should not be against the fence.

No Blade Guard.

Always adjust the saw before starting the motor, something may catch on 
the blade and cause damage either to the saw, or the operator.

Did I miss anything?

Peace,
Pat
