Step 7: Follow the six safety steps before making the cut.
There are six important safety steps to follow before making a cut with a table saw. First, make sure there is no debris near your feet. Tuck in any loose clothing. Stand to one side of the blade, and keep your idle hand on the edge of the table when not in use. Your working hand will control the pushing stick that guides the stock through the saw. Always wear safety glasses and ear protection when using a table saw.
Stand to one side of the saw, resting your idle hand against the table edge and using the other to guide the stick.
