USING FEATHERBOARDS FOR
NON THRU-SAWING
Featherboaras are not employed during non tr_ru-saw-
ing operations when using the miter gauge.
Use featherboards for all other non "thru-sawing"
operations [when sawblade guard must be removedk
Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact
with the fence and table as shown, ana to stop kick-
backs.
Add 7-4/2 inch high flat facing board to the fence the
full length of the fence.
Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown, so
that leading edges of featherboards will support worK-
piece until cut is complete, and the workpiece has been
pushed completely past the cutter (sawblade. dado
head. molding head, etc.) with a pushstick, as _n rip-
ping.
Before starting the operation (turn switch "OFF" and
lower cutter below table surface):
(a) Install featherboards so they exer_ oressure on the
workpiece; be positive they are secure, and
(b) Make sure by trial that the featherboards will stop a
kickback ff one should occur.
Replace the sawblade guard as soon as the non thru-
sawing operation is complete.
