Safety Instructions for Table Saws

1. SAFETY GUARDS. Always make sure the

blade guard and riving knife are installed

when operating the table saw.

8. CROSSCUTTING LIMITATIONS. DO NOT

crosscut workpieces narrower than 6" with

this machine. Narrow workpieces are dif-

ficult to properly support when using the

fence as a guide. Instead, use a different

machine that can safely crosscut a narrow

workpiece (miter saw or bandsaw).

2. KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback.

Kickback happens when the workpiece is

thrown towards the operator at a high rate

of speed. Until you have a clear under-

standing of kickback and how it occurs, DO

NOT operate this table saw!

9. CUT-OFF PIECES. Stop the blade before

removing cut-off pieces.

3. REACHING OVER SAW BLADE. Never

reach behind or over the blade while the saw

is running. Hands or arms could be pulled

into the saw blade if kickback occurs.

10. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Provide ade-

quate support to the rear and sides of the

saw table for wide or long workpieces.

11. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use

blades that have been dropped or other-

wise damaged.

4. WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the

workpiece is stable on the table and is sup-

ported by the rip fence or the miter sled

during cutting operations. DO NOT perform

any cutting operations free-hand.

12. AVOID DADO, RESAW, AND RABBET

OPERATIONS ON THIS MACHINE. This

machine is not designed to perform dado or

rabbet cuts. Attempting to make these cuts

on this machine is dangerous. Instead, find

an alternative machine to make these types

of cuts (router or jointer).

5. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use push sticks,

hold-downs, featherboards, and other

devices to increase cutting safety.

6. OPERATOR POSITION. Never stand or

have any part of your body directly in-line

with the cutting path of the saw blade.

13. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at

any time you are experiencing difficulties

performing the intended operation, stop

using the machine! Contact our Technical

Support at (570) 546-9663 for help.

7. HAND POSITIONING. Avoid operations

and hand positions where a slip could

cause your hand to move into the blade.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to do so could result in serious per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor

work results.

Like all machines there is danger associ-

ated with the Model H8145. Accidents are

frequently caused by lack of familiarity or

failure to pay attention. Use this machine

with respect and caution to lessen the pos-

sibility of operator injury. If normal safety

precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

Preventing Kickback

Statistics show that most common acci-

dents among table saw users can be

linked to kickback. Kickback is typically

defined as the high-speed expulsion of

stock from the table saw toward its opera-

tor. In addition to the danger of the opera-

tor or others in the area being struck by

the flying stock, it is often the case that

the operator’s hands are pulled into the

blade during the kickback.

Below are tips to avoid the most common

causes of kickback:

•

Only cut workpieces with at least one smooth

and straight edge. DO NOT cut excessively

warped, cupped or twisted wood. If the

workpiece warpage is questionable, always

choose another workpiece.

•

Never attempt freehand cuts. If the workpiece

is not fed parallel with the blade, a kickback

will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or

miter sled to support the workpiece.

Protecting Yourself

From Kickback

Make sure the riving knife is aligned with the

blade. A misaligned riving knife can cause

the workpiece to catch or bind, increasing the

chance of kickback. If you think that your riv-

ing knife is not aligned with the blade, check

it immediately!

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it

may still happen. Here are some tips to pro-

tect yourself if kickback DOES occur:

•

Stand to the side of the blade during every

cut. If a kickback does occur, the thrown

workpiece usually travels directly in front of

the blade.

•

Every time you adjust the rip fence, make

sure it is parallel with the blade; otherwise, the

chances of kickback are greatly increased.

Do not remove the riving knife. The riving

knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece,

reducing the chance of kickback.

•

Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the

event of a kickback, your eyes and face are

the most vulnerable part of your body.

•

Keep the blade guard installed and in good

working order.

Never, for any reason, place your hand

behind the blade. Should kickback occur,

your hand will be pulled into the blade.

Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime

you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle

of a cut, the chance of kickback is greatly

increased.

Use a push stick to keep your hands farther

away from the moving blade. If a kickback

occurs, the push stick will most likely take

the damage that your hand would have

received.

•

Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices

to prevent or slow down kickback.

Miter Cutting

Fence Setup

For this type of cutting, the fence is setup facing

away from the blade, as shown in Figure 13. This

position is required to use the miter sled for 45°

miter cuts.

The fence must be used to support the workpiece

whenever making cuts with this machine. The

fence can be setup for "Standard Cutting" and

for "Miter Cutting," depending on which way it is

attached to the table. Always verify that the fence

is set parallel to the blade before cutting.

To setup the fence for miter cutting:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2. Attach each end of the fence with the includ-

ed knobs, flat washers, and lock plates, so

the fence is facing away from the blade.

The fence must be parallel to the blade to

keep the workpiece from binding during the

cut and causing a kickback. Make sure the

fence is parallel to the blade by ensuring that

both ends of the fence are firmly secured at

the same distance from the blade.

3. Install the miter sled on the fence, as shown

in Figure 13.

Standard Cutting

For this type of cutting, the fence is setup facing

the blade, as shown in Figure 12. This position is

used when making rip cuts, cross cuts, and bev-

eled cuts. The workpiece is pressed against the

face of the fence for support as it is fed through

the blade.

To setup the fence for standard cutting:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

Figure 13. Fence setup for miter cutting.

2. Attach each end of the fence with the includ-

ed knobs, flat washers, and lock plates, so

the fence is facing the blade, as shown in

Figure 12.

Workpiece

Inspection

Non-Through and

Through Cuts

Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may

require modification before they can be made safe

to cut.

Non-Through Cuts

A non-through cut is a sawing operation where

the blade does not protrude above the top face of

the wood stock. This machine is NOT designed to

make non-through cuts. Dado cuts, rabbet cuts,

and resawing operations are typical non-through

table saw cuts.

Before cutting, get in the habit of inspecting

all workpieces for the following:

•

Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks

and other foreign objects are often embed-

ded in wood. While cutting, these objects can

become dislodged and hit the operator, they

can cause kickback, and they can break or

chip the blade, which might then fly apart.

Always visually inspect your workpiece for

these items. If they can't be removed, do

NOT cut the workpiece.

Through Cuts

A through cut is a sawing operation in which the

workpiece is completely sawn through. Ripping,

crosscutting, miter cuts, and angled cuts are all

through cutting operations. The blade guard and

riving knife must be installed during through cuts.

Read, understand, and follow instructions and

safety precautions for each type of cut to reduce

the risk of injury.

•

Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can

become dislodged during the cutting opera-

tion. Large knots can cause kickback and

machine damage. Choose workpieces that

do not have large/loose knots or plan ahead

to avoid cutting through them.

Safety precautions and instructions for each

type of cut are located on the following

pages:

•

Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with a

moisture content over 20% causes unneces-

sary wear on the knives/blades, increases

the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.

1. Ripping: Page 17

2. Crosscutting: Page 18

3. 45° Miter Cuts: Page 18

4. Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts: Page 19

•

Excessive Warping: Workpieces with exces-

sive cupping, bowing, or twisting are danger-

ous to cut because they are unstable and

often unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT

use workpieces with these characteristics!

•

Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cup-

ping can be safely supported if the cupped

side is facing the table or the fence. On

the contrary, a workpiece supported on the

bowed side will rock during a cut and cause

kickback or severe injury.

-16-

H8145 Baby Table Saw

5. Turn the saw ON.

Ripping

6. Place the flat edge of the workpiece against

the fence.

"Ripping" means cutting with the grain of the

workpiece. With other materials such as MDF or

plywood, ripping means cutting lengthwise.

Note: If the workpiece is slightly cupped,

place the cupped side down against the table,

so the bowed side is up and the workpiece is

stable and does not rock during the cut.

7. Keep the workpiece firmly pressed against

the table and the fence, and feed it com-

pletely through the saw blade, as shown in

Figure 14.

Serious injury can be caused by kickback.

Kickback is a high-speed expulsion of stock

from the tablesaw toward an operator. The

operator or bystanders may be struck by

flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be

pulled into the blade during the kickback.

To make a rip cut:

1. Set up the fence for "Standard Cutting," as

described in Fence Setup on Page 15.

2. Review all safety information in the begin-

ning of this manual, including Preventing

Kickback on Page 8.

3. Inspect the workpiece to make sure it is safe

enough to cut (refer to Page 16).

Figure 14. Typical ripping operation.

Note: The workpiece should have one straight

edge that can be guided along the fence for

support during operation. If both edges of

the workpiece are warped, joint one edge to

make it flat and place that edge against the

fence when cutting.

Serious injury will occur if your hands/fin-

gers make contact with the spinning blade.

Keep your hands away from the blade as

much as possible by using push sticks or

push blocks when feeding the workpiece

through the cut.

4. Set the fence to the desired width of cut on

the scales at the front and rear of the table.

Make sure the width is the same at both the

front and back of the fence.

Turn OFF the saw and allow the blade to

come to a complete stop before removing

the cut-off piece. Failure to follow this warn-

ing could result in serious personal injury.

The fence must be parallel to the blade to

keep the workpiece from binding during the

cut and causing a kickback. Make sure the

fence is parallel to the blade by ensuring that

both ends of the fence are firmly secured at

the same distance from the blade.

Crosscutting

45˚ Miter Cuts

"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of

the workpiece. With MDF or particleboard, cross-

cutting means cutting across the width of the

workpiece.

On this machine a miter sled acts as a support

to allow the operator to make 45° miter cuts. The

miter sled uses the backside of the fence as a

guide rail to support it through the cut.

DO NOT crosscut workpieces narrower than 6"

with this machine. Narrow workpieces are dif-

ficult to support when using the fence as a guide.

Instead, use a different machine that can safely

crosscut a narrow workpiece (miter saw).

To perform a miter cut:

1. Setup the fence for "Miter Cutting," as

described in Fence Setup on Page 15.

2. Review all safety information in the begin-

ning of this manual, including Preventing

Kickback on Page 8.

To make a crosscut:

1. Review all safety information in beginning of

this manual, including Preventing Kickback

on Page 8.

3. Inspect the workpiece to make sure it is safe

enough to cut (refer to Page 16).

2. Make sure the side of your workpiece that will

be placed against the fence is wider than 6".

If it is NOT, then do not use this machine to

perform the crosscut.

4. Install the miter sled on the fence.

5. Adjust the fence where needed.

6. Make sure each end of the fence is at the

same dimension mark on the scale, then

tighten both knobs evenly at the same time,

making sure that both ends of the fence stay

in the desired position after tightening.

3. Read through and follow all instructions for

Ripping on Page 17, then make the crosscut

in the same way as a rip cut.

7. Place a corner of the workpiece into the miter

sled as shown in Figure 15.

Serious injury will occur if your hands/fin-

gers make contact with the spinning blade.

Keep your hands away from the blade as

much as possible by using push sticks or

push blocks when feeding the workpiece

through the cut.

Figure 15. Typical 45° miter cut.

8. Turn the saw ON.

9. Hold the workpiece firmly in the miter sled,

and slide the miter sled along the fence,

feeding the workpiece completely through the

blade.

Riving Knife

Alignment

Blade Guard

Adjustment

The riving knife must be aligned with the blade or

it will interfere with the workpiece when it moves

through the cutting path.

The blade guard must return to the closed posi-

tion against the table after each cut has been

made, so the operator is not exposed to the mov-

ing blade when working around the saw. Figure

25 shows the blade guard in the closed position.

Tools Needed

Qty

Straightedge ...................................................... 1

Phillips Screwdriver #2...................................... 1

Wrench 10mm................................................... 1

To align the riving knife with the blade:

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2. Remove the blade guard and table insert.

3. Loosen the two riving knife mounting screws

about ⁄4 turn each (loosening these screws

too much makes it difficult to accurately

adjust the riving knife).

Figure 25. Blade guard in closed position.

To adjust the blade guard:

4. Place the straightedge firmly against the

blade, making sure that it does not touch the

carbide teeth (Figure 24).

1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2. Loosen the front/rear blade guard fastener

(depending on which side is sticking) ¹⁄4 turn.

3. Test the blade guard movement with your

hand by raising it up and letting it go.

—When working correctly, the blade guard

should drop down to the closed position

when released.

—If the blade guard does not drop down into

the closed position when released, repeat

Steps 2 & 3.

with a straightedge.

5. Align the riving knife against the straightedge,

space it about an ⁄8" away from the blade,

then carefully tighten the mounting screws.

6. Double-check the alignment of the riving knife

to the blade to make sure it did not move

when you tightened the mounting screws,

and readjust if necessary.

7. Replace the table insert and blade guard.
