Using Featherboards for Thru-Sawing

Featherboards are not employed for thru-sawingopera- tions when using the miter gauge

Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with

the fence and table as shown, and to help stop kick- backs.

Add a 7-1/2" high flat facing board to the fence, the full length of the fence

Mount featherboards to facing board and table as shown, so that leading edges of featherboards will support work- piece

edge presses only on the uncut portion (in front of

the blade). It might otherwise pinch the blade in I WARNING: Make sure the featherboard against the

the kerf and cause a kickback.

Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and blade

below table surface):

1 Install teatherboards so they exert pressure on the workpiece; be positive they are securely attached

2.Make sure by trial that the featherboards will stop a kickback if one should occur
