			* Clean the area around the saw before use to make sure you will not slip on sawdust
			* The most common cut on a table saw is a rip cut (cutting the board the long way). Cross cuts are also possible. Learn about using a miter gauge, or the cross cut sled before doing this. Do NOT try to cross cut freehand.
