Safety Info
In addition to the Woodshop Rules,
- The table saw requires training before you can be authorized to use. The table saw is how even seasoned woodworkers lose fingers.
- Understand what kickback is, and take precautions to avoid it
- The table saw makes a lot of sawdust which can quickly become a slipping hazard. Be sure to stop and sweep/vacuum the floor around as necessary during and after use.
- You must use one of either the blade guard with atttached splitter, or riving knife with each cut.
- Do not rip pieces shorter than about 12” long, nor pieces so narrow they are at risk of falling through the throat plate.
Training Info
Before training on any particular tool in the woodshop, you must complete the general woodshop training which covers safety and rules that are universal for all woodshop equipment).
After that, you may complete the online portion of training (See quick info to the left), then an in person portion can be coordinated by posting to the #area-wood-shop slack channel
The in-person training will cover the basics of table saw usage, including the following:
- Ripping a piece of wood with safety devices in place
- Removing blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawl.
- Cross-cutting a piece of wood with the cross-cut sled or mitre gauge
- Swapping the blade guard with splitter and the riving knife
- How to change a blade
These should be considered only the absolute basics - a table saw is a very versatile tool; we couldn't possibly cover all that you can do.
