Safety Devices
Feather Board and Push Blocks
Feather boards and push blocks can be
purchased at most woodworking stores that sell
table saws and accessories, although some
users prefer to make their own. In addition, a
multitude of after-market products are available
that can be used in conjunction with the miter
slot and fence.
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 34) 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.
