USING FEATHERBOARDS
Add 8 inch high flat facing board to the fence, the full
length of the fence,
Use featherboards for all non "thru-sawing" operations
(when sawb[ade guard must be removed), Featherboards are
used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table
as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown, so that
leading edges of featherboards wil! support workpiece until
cut is complete, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter (sawblade, dado head, molding
head, etc.) with a pushstick, as in ripping

WORK SUPPORT
Before starting the operation (switch "OFF" and cutter
below 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,
Featherboards are not employed during non thru-sawing
operations when using the miter gage,
Replace the sawbtade guard as soon as the non thru-sawing
operation is complete
