How to Store a Table Saw

A table saw is an essential wood shop tool for cutting straight lines in a piece of lumber of almost any size. Carpenters and hobbyists alike depend on a table saw to make fast work of large cutting projects. If you need to store your table saw for several months, getting the power tool ready will depend on how it is to be stored. If you're packing up tools in an unheated garage in winter, for example, greater care must be taken in storing your equipment.

Wrench
Old cloths
Machine oil
Whisk broom
Heavy tarpaulin

Instructions

- 1
  Unplug the table saw motor's power cord from the electrical outlet.
- 2
  Unscrew the bolt holding the blade to the saw underneath the table, using the wrench. Slip the blade in the protective case that came with it, or wrap in an oiled cloth and place in a drawer in your workshop. Blades left in saws are potentially dangerous, since the teeth are exposed above the table.
- 3
  Remove sawdust and wood chips from the surface of the table saw and the saw itself using a whisk broom.
- 4
  Oil the saw motor with machine oil according to the owner's manual of your particular model. Generally, a few drops on the blade bolt and other moving parts will be sufficient.
- 5
  Cover the table saw with a heavy tarpaulin to protect the toold from moisture, dust and dirt.
