You might want to start at the beginning and go through most
of the ways a table saw can hurl a piece of wood at you. It's
not just those sharp spinning carbide things you have to
worry about. The wood can hurt you too.

Knowledge is power. If you understand how AND why something
can hurt you then you can figure out HOW to minimize the
likelyhood that it will hurt you.
