ACCESSORIES
Using miter guide
See Figure 34
The miter guide can serve as extra support for routing small workpieces and for ends of long workpieces.
NOTE: Make sure that the fence and miter bar slot are parallel before cutting.
To cut miters, unclamp knob that secures the protractor head. Turn head up to 60° in either direction. Retighten knob.
When making cuts using the miter guide, hold the work- piece firmly against the fence, the miter guide, and the table.
Using featherboards
See Figure 35
The featherboards provide support for the workpiece by holding it securely, which helps minimize chatter and kickback.
Insert the 2 featherboards as shown below, with the sli- ding blocks positioned in the slot of the fence and then securely tighten the knobs.
Insert the third featherboard in the slot of miter chanel and tighten knob.
