TABLE SAW SAFETYThe table saw is, by far, the highest risk piece of equipment in the woodshop – when you consider how much the table saw is used coupled with the potential for an accident. For these reasons, we have developed a pictorial set of DOs and DON’Ts about the Woodshop table saws.
These pictures will help all of us remember to operate as safely as possible, plus they will serve as a reminder to the Monitors as to the safe ways to operate the table saws.
There are 8 DOs and DON’Ts pictures. If a picture is really worth 1,000 words, then this is 16,000 words worth of information.
