How to properly crosscut on a table saw?

To properly crosscut on a table saw, follow these steps:

1. Set the blade height to slightly higher than the thickness of the wood.
2. Use a miter gauge or crosscut sled to guide the wood through the blade.
3. Position the wood against the fence and miter gauge/sled securely.
4. Turn on the saw and push the wood through the blade with steady pressure.
5. Use a push stick to keep your hands a safe distance from the blade.
6. Wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut piece.
