* In order to cut | * Use the handle on the front of the table saw to raise the blade. Be aware that the handle is removable. | ||
* For some cuts, you want to have the blade at an angle. | |||
* In order to make such an angled cut, move the removable handle to the side of the table saw and turn it to angle the blade. | |||
** There is a fastening screw to fix the blade angle, but it is really only needed at around 22 degrees where the blade is a bit wobbly. | ** There is a fastening screw to fix the blade angle, but it is really only needed at around 22 degrees where the blade is a bit wobbly. | ||

* Before we start with the cuts, we have a few more safety details to go over. | |||
* Do not use any blade other than those provided by the Makerspace as the saw uses custom blades because it has a motor break. | |||
* Never, ever, remove the riving knife behind the blade. It is the most important safety feature. There are table saw techniques that require your to remove the riving knife. If you want to use those techniques, get your own table saw. | * Never, ever, remove the riving knife behind the blade. It is the most important safety feature.

* | * Never make a cut without using any form of support. Your hands will wobble, the blade will pinch and something will probably come flying. | ||
* And we just want to remind you that gloves, long hair, and any item of clothing that can move away from your body risks getting caught in the blade and pulling you in. | * And we just want to remind you that gloves, long hair, and any item of clothing that can move away from your body risks getting caught in the blade and pulling you in. | ||

* | * We will start with length-wise cuts of wide sheets. | ||
* Start by adjusting the parallel fence to the width you want. | |||
* Keep both hands and your body on the same side of the blade where the widest part of the piece will be after the cut. The wood on the other side of the blade may fly back and you want it to miss you if it happens. | |||
