USING THE HOLD DOWN/PUSH BLOCKS
ALWAYS use the hold down/push blocks when JOINT
ING wood that is NARROWER than 3 in. or planing
wood that is thinner than 3 in.
Grasp the hold down/push blocks firmly with the firigers
close together and wrapped around the handle. Position
them flat orr top of workpiece, and push the workpiece
down against the table to provide a quality cut and
minimize the chance of a kickback.
Hold-down pressure must also be sufficient to prevent
hold-down/push block sliding or slipping on the top face
of workpiece when advancing workpiece over cutter head.
Use a hand over hand motion of the hold down/push
blocks being careful to maintain control over the work
piece at all times.
This means that once the workpiece has been fed past
cutter head onto outfeed table, one hold down/push
block must always maintain contact of workpiece with
outfeed table.
CAUTION: If the HOLD DOWN/PUSH BLOCKS tend to
slip while feeding, clean rubber surface immediately with
sandpaper.
