Safety Accessories

Push Sticks

The use of a push stick (Figure 1), particularly when cutting small or narrow workpieces, pro- vides an added level of safety for the operator. See the template at the end of the manual for construction details, or purchase one from the Grizzly catalog.

Zero Clearance Table Inserts

Ideal for use when ripping thin strips or making bevel cuts, zero clearance table inserts reduce workpiece tearout and prevent cut-off pieces from getting jammed between the blade and the table. See Figure 2 for examples of zero clearance table inserts.

Featherboards

Featherboards (Figure 3) help prevent workpiece kickback. To make a featherboard, cut a 30-40¡ angle at one end of the board, and make a num- ber of end cuts at approximately 1Ú4" apart and 2" to 3" deep.
