Step 4: Know the table's safety features.
Table saws can come with important safety features. This particular table saw has a blade cover, a splitter and an anti-kickback device. The blade cover prevents flying chips from injuring the user. The splitter keeps the cut wood separated so it does not bind. The anti-kickback device protects the operator from stock flying back in the event that the wood catches in the saw. You must never remove or defeat these safety devices.
The splitter keeps the wood separated, and the anti-kickback device prevents flying wood.
