Steps
Enclose the portion of ripsaw/crosscut blades above the table with a self-adjusting guard that stays in contact with the stock.
Guard the blade below the table to prevent operator contact when reaching underneath.
Install a spreader and anti-kickback fingers on ripsaws to prevent material pinching and kickback.
Guard all belts, pulleys, gears, and shafts per the related 1910.219 power-transmission requirements.
Remove cracked saw blades from service immediately and stock push sticks/push blocks in sizes suited to the work performed.
Known gotchas
Guarding requirements are written per machine type (ripsaw vs. crosscut vs. radial arm, etc.) — check the specific 1910.213 subsection for each machine class rather than applying one generic guard rule shop-wide.
Removing or defeating a self-adjusting blade guard for convenience is a top citation item — address guarding needs with engineering controls, not by taking the guard off.
