3.0 Safety warnings

1. Read and understand the entire owner's
manual before attempting assembly or
operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on
the machine and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.

4. This table saw is designed and intended for
use by properly trained and experienced
perso nnel on ly. If you are no t fam iliar w ith the
proper and safe operation of a table saw, do
not use until proper training and knowledge
have been obtained.

5. Do not use this table saw for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes,
Powermatic disclaims any real or implied
warranty and holds itself harmless from any
injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this table saw. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating this table saw, remove tie,
rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose
clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip
footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Always use the blade guard on all ''through­sawing'' operations. A through-sawing
operation is one in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece.

9. Kickback occurs when the workp iece i s throw n
towards the operator at a high rate of speed. If
you do not have a clear understanding of
kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate
this table saw!

10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.

11. S ome dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

•

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.

Arsenic and chromium from chemically

•

treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

12. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

13. Make certain switch is in the OFF position
before connecting machine to power supply.

14. Make certain the machine is properly
grounded.

15. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.

16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine before turning it on.

17. Keep safety guards in place at all times when
the machine is in use. If removed for
maintenance purposes, use extreme caution
and replace the guards immediately after
completion of maintenance.

18. Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.

19. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

20. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.

21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.

22. Make your workshop child proof w ith padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.

23. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse­play” are careless acts that can result in
serious injury.

24. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall into the blade or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.

25. Use the right tool at the correct speed and
feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed. The
right tool will do the job b etter and more safel y.

26. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.

27. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades
sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.

28. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush or compressed air to remove chips or
debris — do not use your hands.

29. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over.

30. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.

31. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the
machine.

32. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.

33. Use a push-stick when required.

34. Pay particular attention to instructions on
reducing risk of kickba ck.

35. Do not perform any operation freehand.

36. Never reach around or over saw blade.

37. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t
use power tools in damp or wet location, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well
lighted.

3.1 Kickback

The most common accidents among table saw
users, according to statistics, can be linked to
kickback, the high-speed expulsion of material from
the table that can strike the operator. Kickback ca n
also result in the operator’s hands being pulled into
the blade.

Kickback Prevention

Tips to avoid the most common causes of
kickback:

• Make sure the riving knife is always aligned
with the blade. A workpiece can bind or stop
the flow of the cut if the riving knife is
misaligned, and result in kickback.

• Use a riving knife during every cut. The riving
knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece,
which will reduce the chance of kickback.

• Never attempt freehand cuts. The workpiece
must be fed parallel to the blade, otherwise
kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip
fence or miter gauge to support the workpiece.

• Make sure that rip fence is parallel to blade. If
not, the chances of kickback are very high.
Take the time to check and adjust the rip
fence.

• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime you
stop feeding a workpiece that is in the middle
of a cut, the chance of binding, resulting in
kickback, is greatly increased.

Protection Tips from Kickback

Kickback can happen even if precautions are taken
to prevent it. Listed below are some tips to protect
you if kickback does occur:

• Stand to the side of the blade when cutting. An
ejected workpiece usually travels directly in
front of the blade.

• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your
eyes and face are the most vulnerable part of
your body.

• Never place your hand behind the blade. If
kickback occurs, your hand will be pulled into
the blade.

• Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If a kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take the
damage that your hand would have received.

5.0 Glossary

Arbor: Metal shaft that connects the drive

mechanism to the blade.
Bevel Edge Cut: Tilt of the saw arbor and blade

between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting
operation.

Blade Guard: Mechanism mounted over the saw
blade to prevent accidental contact with the cutting
edge.

Crosscut: Sawing operation in which the miter
gauge is used to cut across the grain of the

workpiece.
Dado Blade: Blade used for cutting grooves and

rabbets. A stacked dado set can be used for w ider
grooves.

Dado Cut: Flat bottomed groove in t he face of the
workpiece made with a dado blade.

Featherboard: Device used to keep a board
against the rip fence or table that allows the
operator to keep hands away from saw blade.

Freehand: Moving a workpiece into the blade
using only the hands, without a fixed positioning
device. (This is a dangerous, unacceptable
procedure – always use appropriate devices to
feed the workpiece though the saw blade during
cutting operations.)

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw
blade.

Kerf, Standard: 1/8" gap made with a standard
blade.

Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is lifted
up and thrown back toward the operator, caused
when a workpiece binds on the saw blade or
between the blade and rip fence (or other fixed
object). To minimize or prevent injury from
kickbacks, see the Operations section.

Miter Gauge: A component that controls the
workpiece movement while performing a crosscut
of various angles.

Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that
requires the removal of the blade guard and
standard riving knife, resulting in a cut that does
not protrude through the top of the workpiece
(includes Dado and rabbet cuts).

The blade guard and riving knife must be re­installed after performing a non-through cut to
avoid accidental contact with the saw blade during
operation.

Parallel: Two lines or surfaces lying at equal
distance from each other at e very point along t heir
lengths. For example, a rip fence must be paral lel
to the side face of the saw blade.

Pawls, Anti-Kickback: Plates with a serrated
edge, usually mounted to the splitter, that prevent
the cut workpiece being drawn back toward the
blade and producing kickback.

Perpendicular: 90° (right angle) intersection or
position of the vertical and horizontal planes such
as the position of the saw blade (vertical) to the
table surface (horizontal).

Push Board/Push Stick: An instrument used to
safely push the workpiece through the cutting
operation.

Rabbet: A cutting operation that creates an
L-shaped channel along the edge of the board.

Resaw: Process of cutting a thick workpiece into
thinner pieces.

Rip Cut: A cut made along the grain of the
workpiece.

Riving Knife: A metal plate fixed relative to the
blade, which moves with the blade as cutting depth
is adjusted. Thus, it maintains not only the kerf
opening in the workpiece, but also the knife-to­blade distance. A low-profile rivi ng kn ife sit s lower
than the top edge of the blade, and is used for non-
through cuts.

Splitter (Spreader): A stationary metal plate to
which the blade guard is attached that maintains
the kerf opening in the workpiece when perform ing
a cutting operation. A splitter that rises and lowers
with the blade is called a riving knife.

Straightedge: A tool used to c heck that a surface
is flat or parallel.

Through Sawing: A saw ing operatio n in whic h the
workpiece thickness is completely sawn through.
Proper blade height usually allows 1/8" of the top
of blade to extend above the wood stock. Keep t he
blade guard down, the anti-kickback pawls down,
and the riving knife in place over the blade.

8.3 Stand assembly

Assembly tip: A ratchet wrench with sockets and
extensions will speed assembly time.

1. Assemble stand, using Figure 8 as a guide.
Use the provided carriage bolts, flat washers
lock washers, and hex nuts (SHP-3/4/5/6).

Only make fasteners snug at this time. They
will be fully tightened later, after stand has
settled under the weight of the saw.

2. Note the or ientation of the c ut-out brace (P) to
the front brace with Powermatic label (R). The
cut-out brace must be to the left, to allow
protrusion of the motor.

3. When stand has been assembled, turn it over
and install the rubber foot pads (V). (Should
you ever need height adjustment on the foot
pad, loosen the two hex nuts, rotate t he pad,
then retighten the hex nuts against the metal
of the stand.)

4. Turn stand right-side up. The fasteners are not
fully tight, but they should be snug enough to
withstand the weight of the saw. If the stand
needs more stability, snug fasteners a little
more.

5. The four large holes on top of the stand should
be reasonably aligned through the upper
braces for easy insertion of the screws.

and/or damage to the machine.

1. Carefully lift table saw out of carton.

2. Place table saw atop the stand, orienting the
motor in the cut-out of the stand, and aligning
the four holes on its bottom edge with those in
the stand.

3. Insert four screws, with flat washers, lock
washers and hex nuts (SHP-1/4/5/6), as
shown.

4. Securely tighten all four hex nuts (SHP-6),
using a 12mm wrench and an additional
wrench to hold the screw steady while
tightening the nut. (NOTE: If you need more
room to wrench the back screws, follow
instructions below for tilting motor out of the
way.)

5. Finish tightening all fasteners in the stand.

8.5 Installing handwheels/hooks

precedence over recommendations.

9.1 Grounding instructions

Figure 18

8.15 Blade guard

Refer to Figure 18.

1. Lift the anti-kickback pawls (I) and secure
them with the latch (J).

1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce t he risk of electr ic shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
cond uctor with insulation having an outer surf ace
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor.

16

If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.

Figure 19

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for

use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure

19. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to

connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only unt il a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted
in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.

3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for

use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure

19. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like

the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available
or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be
reconnected for use on a diff erent type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.

Check with a qualified

electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.

9.2 Voltage conversion

If230Vsinglephaseoperationisdesired,follow

theseinstructions:

1. Disconnect table saw from power source.

2. Open the motor junction box, and consult the
diagram on the inside of the junction box
cover. Similar diagrams are shown in section

17.0.
NOTE: In case of discrepancy, the junction

box label takes precedence.

3. The four motor leads are connected for 115V
operation; reconnect these leads for 230V
operation, as shown in the diagrams.

4. The 115 volt attachment plug, supplied with
the saw, must be replaced with a UL/CSA
listed plug suitable for 230 volt operation.
Consult an electrician for proper procedures to
install the plug. The saw must comply with all
local and national codes after the 230 volt plug
is inst alled.

In all cases (115V or 230V) make certain the
receptacle in question is properly gr ounded. If
you are not sure, ha ve a registered electricia n
check the receptacle.

9.3 Extension cords

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volta ge
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

10.6 Low profile riving knife

A low prof ile riv ing k nif e is inc lude d wit h yo ur saw.
It mounts and adjusts in the same manner as the
standard riving knife. The low profile riving knife
sits just below top of blade and is used for making
non- through c uts. The blade guard is not used with

this knife, so extra precautions should be taken
during operation.

10.7 Trunnion adjustment

If backlash develops in the trunnion assembly, it
can be adjusted out using the screws (6mm hex
key) at front and back of cabinet (F, Figure 25

11.0 Operations

NOTE: If the saw is to be used without the metal
stand provided, care must be taken to provide a
hole in the stand or bench used by the operator to
facilitate removal of sawdust.

If there is any tendency to

slide, walk, or tip over during operation, the
stand or bench MUST be secured to the floor.

Familiarize yourself with the location and operation
of all controls and adjustments and the use of
accessories such as miter gauge and rip fence.

11.1 Start/st op switch

This table saw has a manual

switch. If the power goes out during oper ation,
push the STOP button. Otherwise, the saw will
start up when power is restored.

11.2 Kickback prevention

Serious injury can result from kickbacks which
occur when a workpiece binds on the saw blade or
binds between the blade and rip fence or other
fixed object. This binding can cause the workpiece
to lift up and be thrown toward the operator.

Listed below are conditions which can cause
kickbacks:

 Confining the cutoff piece when

crosscutting or ripping.

21

 Releasing the workpiece before

completing operation or not pushing work
piece all the way past saw blade.

 Not using the splitter/riving knife when

ripping or not maintaining alignment of the
splitter/riving knife with the saw blade.

 Using a dull saw blade.
 Not maintaining alignment of the rip fence

so that it tends to angle toward rather than
away from the saw blade front to back.

 Applying feed force when ripping to the

cutoff (free) section of the workpiece
instead of the section between saw blade
and fence.

 Ripping wood that is twisted (not flat), or

does not have a straight edge, or has
twisted grain.

To minimize or prevent injury from kickbacks:

 Avoid conditions listed above.
 Wear a safety face shield, goggles, or

glasses.

 Do not use the miter gauge and rip fence

in the same operation unless provision is
made by use of a facing board on the
fence so as to allow the cutoff section of
the workpiece to come free before the
actual cut begins (See Figure 39).

 As the machine receives use, the

operation of the anti-kickback pawls
should be checked periodically (Figure

32). If the pawls do not stop the reverse
motion of a workpiece, resharpen all the
points.

narrow (6" width or less), or thin work. Use
a push block or miter gauge hold-down
when dadoing or molding.

 Never use the fence as a length stop

when crosscutting. Do not hold or touch
the free end or cutoff section of a
workpiece. On through-sawing operations,
the cutoff section must NOT be confined.

 Always keep your hands out of line of the

saw blade and never reach back of the
cutting blade with either hand to hold the
workpiece.

 Bevel ripping cuts should always be made

with the fence on the right side of saw
blade so that the blade tilts away from the
fence and minimizes the possibility of the
work binding and the resulting kickback.

11.3 Rip sawing

Ripping is where the workpiece is fed with the grain
into the saw blade using the fence or other
positioning device as a guide to ensure desired
width of cut (Figure 33).

Before starting a ripping cut,
verify that fence is clamped securely and
aligned properly.

 Never rip freehand or use miter gauge in

combination with the fenc e.

 Never rip workpieces shorter than the saw

blade diameter.

 Never reach behind the blade with either

hand to hold down or remove the cutoff
piece with the saw blade rotating.

Figure 32

 Where possi ble, keep your face and body

out of line with potential kickbacks
including when starting or stopping the
machine.

 Dull, badly set, improper, or improperly

filed cutting tools, and cutting tools with
gum or resin adhering to them can cause
accidents. Never use a cracked saw
blade. The use of a sharp, well
maintained, and correct cu tting tool for the
operation will help avoid injuries.

 Support the work properly and hold it

firmly against gauge or fence. Use a push
stick or push block when ripping short,

Figure 33

Always use blade guard, splitter/riving knife and
anti-kickback pawls. Make sure splitter/riving knife
is properly aligned. When wood is cut along the
grain, the kerf tends to close and bind on the blade
and kickbacks can occur.

22

Figure 34

The rip fence (A, Fig. 34) should be set for the
width of the cut by using the scale on the front rail,
or by measuring the distance between blade (A)
and fence (B). Stand out of line with saw blade and
workpiece to avoid sawdust and splinters coming
off the blade or a potential kickback.

If the work piece does not have a straight edge,
nail an auxiliary straight edged board on it to
provide one against the fence. To cut proper ly, the
board must make good contact with the table. If it
is slightly warped, turn the hollow side down. Do
not attempt to cut boards with significant warp.

In ripping, use one hand to hold the board down
against the fence or fixture, and the other to push it
into the blade between blade and fence. If
workpiece is narrower than 6" or shorter than 12",
use a push stick or push block to p ush it through
between fence and blade (Figure 35). Never push
in a location such that the pushing hand is in line
with the blade. Move the hand serv ing as a hold­down a safe distance from blade as cut nears
completion.

For very narrow ripping where a push stick ca nnot
be used, use a push block or auxiliary fence.
Always push the workpiece completely past the
blade at the end of a cut to minimize the possibility
of a kickback.

Figure 36

When ripping long boards, use a support at front of
table (C, Figure 36), such as a roller stand, and a
support or "tailman" at the rear (D).

Never use the rip fence beyond the point where the
carriage is flush with the end of the rails.

Have the blade extend about 1/8" above the top of
the workpiece. Exposing the blade above this po int
can be hazardous.

11.4 Resawing

Resawing is a ripping operation in which thick
boards are cut into thinner ones. Note: A band saw
is the ideal tool for resawing.

If the table saw is used for
resawing, take precautions such as using an
auxiliary fence, resaw barrier or similar devices
to stabilize the workpiece and provide operator
safety.

Narrow boards up to 3" can be resawn in one pass.
Wider boards up to 6" must be resawn in two
passes.

In resawing wider boards, adjust the blade height
so as to overlap the two cuts by 1/2" as shown in
Figure 37. Too deep a first cut can result in binding
and possible kickbacks on the second cut. Always
use the same side of the board against the fence
for both cuts.

Figure 35

Figure 37

11.5 Crosscutting

Crosscutting is where the workpiece is fed cross
grain into the saw blade using the miter gauge to
support and position the workpiece (Figure 38).

Do not crosscut workpieces shorter than 6". Before
starting a cut, be sure the miter gauge is securely
clamped at the desired angle. Hold the workpiece
firmly against the table and back against the miter
gauge. Always use the saw guard and riving knife
and make sure the riving knife is properly aligned.

For 90 degree crosscutting, most operators prefer
to use the left-hand miter gauge slot. When using it
in this position, hold the workpiece against the
gauge with the left hand and use the right hand to
advance the workpiece. When using the right hand
slot for miter and compound crosscutting so that
the blade tilts away from the gauge, the hand
positions are reversed.

When using the miter gauge, the workpiece must
be held firmly and advanced smoothly at a slow
rate. If the workpiece is not held firmly, it can
vibrate causing it to bind on the blade and dull the
saw teeth.

Figure 38

Crosscutting should never be done freehand nor
should the fence be used as an end stop unless an
auxiliary block (E, Figure 39) is clamped to the
front of the blade area such that the cutoff piece
comes free of the block before cutting begins.

Figure 39

Length stops should not be used on the free end of
the workpiece in the cutoff area.

To augment the effectiveness of the miter gauge in
crosscutting, some users mount an auxiliary
wooden extension face (F, Figure 40) with a gl ued­on strip of sandpaper (G) to the miter gauge.

Provide auxiliary support for any workpiece
extending beyond the table top with a tendency to
sag and lift up off the table.

Have the blade extend about 1/8" above the top of
the workpiece. Exposing the blade above this po int
can be hazardous.

Figure 40

11.6 Bevel and miter operations

Bevel cut – A bevel cut is a special type of

operation where the saw blade is tilted at a n angle
less than 90 degrees to the table top (Figure 41).
Operations are performed in the same manner as
ripping or crosscutting, except the fence or miter
gauge should be used on the right-hand side of the
blade to provide added safety in avoiding a binding
action between blade and table top. When beveling
with the miter gauge, the workpiece must be held
firmly to prevent creeping.

24

Figure 41

Mitering – Crosscuts made at an angle to the edge
of the workpiece are cal led miters (Figure 42). Set
the miter gauge at the required angle, and make
the cut the same as a normal crosscut except the
workpiece must be held extra firmly to prevent
creeping.

The process of cutting 1/8" to 13/16" grooves in
workpieces is accomplished by the use of a
stacked dado blade set or an adjustable type blade
mounted on the saw arbor. By using various
combinations of stacked dado blades, or properly
setting the dial on an adjustable blade, an accurate
width dado can be made. This is very useful for
shelving, making joints, tenoning, etc.

The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls
supplied with the saw should be used for all cutting
operations where they can be used. When
performing operations where the guard cannot be
used, as in some dadoing operations, alternative
safety precautions should be taken. These include
push sticks, feather boards, filler pieces, fixtures,
jigs and any other appropr iate device that can be
utilized to keep operators’ hands away from the
blade. Upon completion of t he operation requiri ng
removal of the guard, the entire guard assembly
must be placed back on the machine in its proper
working order.

Never use a dado head in a
tilted position. Never operate the saw without
the blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback
pawls for operations where they can be used.

Figure 42

Note: When making compound miters (with blade
tilted) use the miter gauge in the right ha nd s lot to
provide more hand clearance and safety.

Have the blade extend only 1/8" above the top of
the workpiece. Exposing the blade above this po int
can be hazardous.

11.7 Dado cutting

Dadoing is cutting a wide groove into a workpiece
or cutting a rabbet alo ng the edge of a workpiece.
A dado insert (optional accessory, not provided)
shown in Figure 43, is necessary for this type of
operation.

Do not use the sta ndard table

insert for dadoing operations.

Figure 43

25

12.0 Safety devices

Feather board

Feather boards can be purchased at most tool
stores, or made by the operator to suit particular
applications. The feather board (Figure 44) should
be made of straight grain hardwood appro ximately
1" thick and 4" to 8" wide depending on the size of
the machine. The length is developed in
accordance with intended use.

Feather boards can be faste ned to the table or rip
fence by use of C-clamps. Alternatively, drilled and
tapped holes in the table top a llow the use of w ing
nuts and washers as a method of clamping. If this
method of fastening is used, provide slots in the
feather board for adjustment. (The illustration
shows a method of attaching and use of the
feather board as a vertical comb. The horizontal
application is essentially the sam e except that the
attachment is to the table top.)

Figure 45 – Filler Piece

Push stick and push block

The use of a push block or push stick provide s an
added level of safety for the operator. A p ush stick
is included with your table saw, but you may wish
to make others personalized for different cutting
procedures. The templates in Figures 46 and 47
offer construction details.

Figure 44

Filler piece

A filler piece (Figure 45) 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.
