Safety Devices
Feather Board and Push Blocks
A push stick is included with the PM3000 table 
saw. In addition, a multitude of after market 
products are available that can be used in 
conjunction with the miter slot and fence, 
including feather boards and push blocks. These 
can be purchased at most woodworking stores 
that sell table saws and accessories. 
Push Stick
The use of a push stick provides an added level 
of safety for the operator and is provided with 
this machine. 
Filler Piece
A filler piece (Figure 33) is necessary for narrow 
ripping and permits the blade guard to remain on 
the machine. It also provides space for the safe 
use of a push stick.
