4.Position the fingered edge of the feather- board against the edge of the workpiece, so that all of the fingers contact the workpiece. Slide the featherboard toward the blade until the first finger is nearly even with the end of the workpiece, which should be 1" away from the blade.

5.Double check the workpiece and the feather- board to ensure they are properly positioned as described in Step 4. Then secure the featherboard to the table. Check the feather- board by hand to make sure it is tight.

Note: The featherboard should be placed firmly enough against the workpiece to keep it against the fence but not so tight that it is difficult to feed the workpiece.
