Table Saw Safety Test

How high above the workpiece should the saw blade be set?

• As high as it can go
• 1/8"-1/4"
• 1/2"
• 3/8" - 5/8"

The safest way to remove scrap pieces from around the revolving blade is to:

• Turn off the power and wait for the blade to stop.
• Use a stick
• Remove the stock being cut first,, before removing the chips
• None of the above

When ripping long stock, you should:

• Push it halfway through then reverse it to complete the cut.
• Push it halfway through, and then walk around to the rear of the table and finish pulling it through.
• Push the stock fully through the saw and onto and outfeed table, use roller stands or ask for assistance from another person. 
• None of the above

When crosscutting short duplicate pieces on the tablesaw, a safe method to use is:

• The fence alone as a guide
• The first piece cut as a gauge
• A stop block clamped to the side of the fence as a guide
• Any of the above

When operating a table saw, you should stand:

• To the right side of the blade if possible
• To the left side of the blade.
• Directly in line with the blade.
• Not in direct line of the blade.

All table saw adjustments should be made:

• While the saw is in motion
• While the saw is completely stopped.
• It depends on which type of blade you're using.
• After the fence has been removed from the table.

 Crosscutting of stock normally requires a:

• Fence
• Push Stick
• Stop Block
• Miter Gauge/Cross cut sled 

When is it safe to do freehand (no fence, no miter gauge) sawing on the table saw?

• When cutting circles
• When cutting very thin stock
• Never
• When cutting plywood

When ripping long stock you should:

• Have a helper to assist the stock, but not to pull it.
• Use an outfeed table and roller stand
• Press down hard to support the stock and allow it to fall to teh floor once it's passed the blade
• Ripping of long stock should only be done with a sled.

Is it safe to saw defective stock(warps and any foreign material?

• True
• False
