One big thing no one has mentioned yet-

Never, ever, ever make a cut without using either the fence or miter
gauge. No matter how steady you think you are, the slightest twist
you make trying to cut freehand will really ruin your day, if not
seriously injure you.

First time I ever used a table saw, I didn't know that, and learned
about kickback *really* quick, when a 4'X8' sheet of 1/4" plywood came
off a benchtop saw and did it's best to chop me in half.
