WARNING: When using featherboard, it must be mounted in front of the blade and used only against the uncut
portion of the workpiece to avoid a kickback that could result in serious injury.
Cutting aids such as push stick, push blocks, featherboards and jigs should be used where appropriate to maximize
your ability to control your workpiece for a safe and precise cut. When making non-through cuts or ripping narrow
stock, always use a push stick, push block, featherboard and/or jig set-up so hands do not come within 6 inches of blade.
Cutting aids
A push stick is included with your saw. Additional push sticks and other cutting aids can be purchased separately at any
authorized dealer. Instructions for making cutting aids can be found on page 37-38.
Push stick can be purchased or made to securely hold down the workpiece against the table when making non-through
cuts or ripping narrow stock. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for
a grip on the other end.
Push sticks
Push blocks are blocks used to securely hold down the workpiece against the table. They include some gripping surface
or handle to hold the block. Any screws running through the underside of the block to fasten the handle should be recessed
in order to avoid contact with the workpiece.
Push blocks
A featherboard is a device used to help control the workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or rip
fence. Featherboards are especially useful when ripping small workpieces and for completing non-through cuts. The end
is angled with a series of narrow slots to give a friction hold on the workpiece. It is locked in place on the
table with a C-clamp.
