Pre-Operation Checklist:

Read the operation manual and ensure that you know how to safely operate the equipment
-
Inspect the equipment to make sure the saw is in good working order
-
If not, be sure to fix it OR unplug it, tag it, and report it

-
If your fingers will be within 4 inches of the blade, visit the safety cart for push sticks/safety aides
-
Make sure the beginning and ending material will be well supported
-
If not, orient the roller stands to provide needed support

-
Do not use rip fence for cross cuts. Instead, use the miter saw, or cross cut or miter fixtures and jigs
-
Wobbly, less than flat, or salvaged material should be prepared for the table saw - which should include sectioning with hand tools and checking for metal with a metal detector
Post-Operation Checklist:

Ensure the blade is at 90 degrees and in lowered position
-
Use the dust collection remote to manually start the dust collection
-
Clean-up all saw dust and leave it better than you found it
