Don't ever come near the blade with your fingers when the saw is turned on. This means using a push stick or a crosscut sled.

Always use a push stick and never force something through the blade… if there is some resistance when cutting, determine why before proceeding.

... oh and always wear eye protection.

I unplug mine when changing blades, and always have the blade height no higher the 1/8" above the thickness of the board I am cutting. I also periodically clean and wax the table surface so the piece slides more smoothly. Oh, and not touching that spinning thingie helps too.

Even though it has already been said, always turn off the saw at the first sign of fatigue! Sometimes it is hard to tell when fatigue or tiredness starts to set in. Usually when I start to get tired I start making mistakes, like having to make the same cut several times to get it right. No matter what your deadline is or how close to finishing the project, it simply is not worth it. My neighbor nearly lost a hand trying to finish the last two pieces of one his projects. Stay safe.

Safety is always 1st priority, safety glasses, hearing protection, dust collection, etc. Learn the how's and how-to's of your saw/equipment is operated. Keep it tuned. Keep the surface clean and slick. This is more than one, but, I feel you need to do all of these before plugging it in/giving it life.
