-C'CLAMPS FEATHERBOARD
USING FEATHERBOARDS
Featherboards are not employed during non thru-
sawing operations when using the miter gauge
Use featherboards for all other non "thru-sawing"
operations (when sawblade guard must be
removed) Featherboards are used to keep the work
in contact with the fence and table as shown, and to
stop kickbacks,,
Add 8 inch high fiat 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
workpiece until cut is complete, and the workpiece
has been pushed completely past the cutter
(sawbtade, dado head, molding head, etc ) with a
pushstick, as in ripping,
Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and
cutter befow table surface):
(a) install featherboards so they exert pressure
on the workpiece; be positive they are secure,
and
(b) Make sure by trial that the featherboards will
stop a kickback if one should occur
Replace the sawblade guard as soon as the non
thru-sawing operation is complete,
