Using FeatherboardsforNonThru-Sawing
Featherboards are not employed during non thru-sawing
operations when using the miter gauge.
Use featherboards for all other non thru-sawing opera-
tions (when sawblade guard must be removed). Feather-
boards are used to keep the work in contact with the
fence and table as shown and to stop kickbacks
Add a 7-I/2" high flat facing board to the full length of the
fence
Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown, so that
leading edges of featherboards will support workpiece
until cut is complete, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter (sawblade, dado-head, etc)
with a push stick, as in ripping
Before starting the operation (turn switch "OFF" and
lower blade or cutter below table surface):
• Install featherboards so they exert pressure on the
workpiece; be positive they are secure.
° Make sure by trial the featherboards will stop a kick-
back if one should occur before performing this opera-
tion
Before slarting your cut:
- Slide the workpiece in between the featherboards the
same way you'll feed it in for the cut
-Pull back on the workpiece. The piece should be
harder to pull back than it was to push forward._
-Adjust your featherboards and repeat the trial, as
needed
=Follow the applicable ripping instructions to make the
cut
WARNING: For your own safety, always replace the
blade, blade guard, spreader and blade insert as
soon as the non thru-sawing operation is complete.
Dadoing
Instructions for operating the dado head are contained in
booklet furnished with the dado head..
The arbor on the saw is only long enough so that the wid-
est cut that can be made is 9/16" wide.
It is not necessary to install the outside loose collar
before screwing on the arbor nut° Make sure the arbor nut
is tight and at least one thread on the arbor sticks out
past the nut.
Always use dado insert listed under recommended
accessories.
When using the dado head, it wilt be necessary to
remove the blade guard and spreader. Use caution. Use
miter gauge, fence, featherboards or push sticks as
required..
I WARNING: For your own safety, always replace the !
m
blade, blade guard, spreader and blade insert when 1
you are finished dadoing.
