Table saw dangers and how to protect yourself
Circular saws are useful tools for cutting wood quickly. Some circular saws can also cut concrete and stone. Due to their versatility, as much as they can be useful, their use can also be quite dangerous, as an inexperienced person can be seriously injured while working with them, so safety is important.
More than 80% of serious injury accidents involving circular saws are related to lack of protection or poorly fitting guards, or failure to use push sticks.
Dangers:
- Tangling upon contact with the blade.
- Contact or influence with bad tools
- Noise
- Dust
- Contact or impact from sudden movement (during equipment, cleaning and repair)
To avoid all this, it is important to be careful when working with it, so as not to put yourself in danger. A circular saw injury can cause serious damage - amputation of fingers; broken bones and deep cuts to the hands and fingers, etc.

How to protect yourself:
- Fit an adjustable synthetic rubber headgear cap over the blades, large enough to cover the blades, to prevent contact with the blade and access under the machine table.
- Replace the guard before making a test cut after setting up or adjusting the tool.
- Measure the thrusts on each machine (at least 300 mm long and serrated to hold the workpiece).
- Use power supplies/automatic feeding devices whenever possible.
- Attach a steel blade to all circular saws.
- Make sure the knives are securely fastened, have a smooth surface, a beveled front edge, and are curved to the shape of a saw blade.
- Use extension tables and stands to support larger workpieces on the sides.
