Several accessories are available for table saws. Most come equipped with a fence, a guide that slides back and forth to help you make straight cuts. Both the fence and the miter gauge are removable so you can cut large pieces. The blade of a table saw is quite versatile. Newer table saws offer many safety features.
Many saws use a safety switch, which requires extra effort to turn on but can easily be turned off.
At some point, you may need to change the blade of your saw. The teeth of the blade are very sharp. Use the two wrenches provided with the saw to loosen and remove the nut holding the blade. Use one wrench to hold the blade steady and the other to turn the nut. Slide the blade off the bolt, and tilt it to remove it from the saw.
