Where should your hands be and what should they be doing while making a crosscut on the radial
arm saw?
Your hands should never be in the path of the blade, while making a cut your left hand should hold
the stock firmly against the fence at least 6 inches from the blade. Your right hand will pull the motor
and blade firmly across the stock.
How far should the blade protrude above the lumber when using the table saw? why?
The blade should protrude 1/4 inch above the stock. This will minimize the risk of injury.
When and why is a push stick used in this shop?
A push stick is used while operating the table saw if the distance between the fence and the blade is
less than 6 inches. It is also used on the jointer if jointing an edge if the stock is lower than the fence.
This keeps the hands a safe distance from the blade and greatly reduces the possibility of injury.
