In the first place I ever worked where I used a table saw, the rule was
that
the first thing that you did after turning off the saw was to crank the
blade down below the table. I still do that now. On the few occasions that
that is not practical, being in the habit of cranking it down forces you
to
think about that blade being exposed.


I watch the blade come to a complete stop before approaching now.
