Infographic of Table Saw Woodworking Safety Tips
When you have the best table saw for the
 money, there are a number of safety rules you should consider. This is 
the only way to ensure that you are using the table saw safely for 
woodworking projects. Here are some of the key safety rules to bear in 
mind:
- No Gloves When Using the Table Saw
While we know that gloves are meant to 
provide protection, most of them are really lose and as such, should be 
avoided. There is a high possibility of tactile loss when you are using 
the table saw and this may be caught by the rotating blade and cause 
serious injuries. This will happen when the table saw loses the gripping
 power. For your own safety, avoid using gloves.
- Eye and Ear Protection
Your eyes and ears should be protected 
when you are using a table saw. When you leave your eyes exposed, there 
is a very high likelihood that the projectiles will damage your eyes. Do
 not make the mistake of assuming that the normal eyeglasses will 
protect your eyes; no, you need protective goggles.
In addition you need to find the right 
hearing protection for your ears. You should never make the mistake of 
operating the table saw without ear projection. This is because the 
noise is too loud and if not handled, this can lead to hearing loss. 
Hearing loss may be difficult to reverse and as such, you should take 
precaution in advance.
- Stay Clear of Loose Clothing and Jewelry
If you love ties and loose clothing, 
then you need to work on your wardrobe before operating the table saw. 
You should avoid ties, jewelry, accessories and other loose outfit as 
these may be caught up in the blade and cause serious injuries. If you 
can find short sleeve overalls, this may be the right choice of clothing
 when operating the table saw.
- Maintain Proper Posture
Always ensure that you are standing at a
 comfortable angle and maintaining good posture when using the table 
saw. You should keep your feet far enough to be able to get good balance
 when operating the table saw. When you are cutting ling stock, this is 
an important safety rule to always bear in mind. You will be forced to 
make a number of steps so as to keep the stock going and as such, you 
need to be keen on your steps. You should have momentum that allows you 
to stop with ease. Always comes in proper footwear that has non-skid 
soles, to enhance your safety.
