Safety Equipment When Using a Table Saw

Hi! I’m Rob McMahon for Expert Village and I’m going to talk about the safety of a table saw. Probably the first thing is safety glasses, which come in all different styles these days. There’s clear and then there’s colored ones. These are orange and these are yellow. The orange and yellow ones actually sharpen your eyesight a little bit so that you can see it takes out some of the glare and you can actually see lines clear than you can with the clear glasses. That’s why I choose these. A dust mask. Some of the fine dust that kicks from the saw, especially from harder woods, has a lot of acidic dust that can get into your lungs and cause you some problems. You either want to have a good dust mask or a dust collection system. This saw has a port in the back where the saw dust comes out of, and a regular shop vac fits right on in there.
