Featherbords are used to keep the work-
piece in contact with the rip fence and
table
as
shown, and to stop kickbacks.
To
install featherbords. proceed
as
follows
:
@
Turn the tool off and unplug it.
@
Add 8" high flat facing board to the rip
fence, the full length of the rip fence.
@
Mount featherboards to the rip fence
and table
as
shown,
so
that the leading
edges of featherboard will support the
workpiece until the cut
is
complete, and
the workpiece has been pushed completely past the cutter with
a
push stick.
@
Make sure featherboards are securely attached.
When using the miter gauge during dodoing,
featherboards should not be employed.
Place
a
spacer block between the miter
gauge and workpiece
so
that the workpiece
can be pushed completely past the cutter.
When the miter agnle
is
0
degree, the
spacer block should be about
3"
wide.
