Gene,
Been using table saws all my life. I know you didn't ask, but: be careful, use a gripper or push sticks or blocks, use feather boards. Lower the blade and run the wood through with power off before actually making the cut and look for possibilities of kickback or getting fingers too close to the blade. I love using the tablesaw, but until you get accustomed to it pay extra attention. There are too many woodworkers out there that have less than 10 fingers. One guy in our local Guild (who is an award winning woodworker) has cut the ends off of the same fingers twice on the same saw while making the same cut several years apart.
