For rip or rip-type
cuts, the following
end of a
workpiece
to which a push stick or push board is
applied
must
be square
(perpendicular
to the
fence)
in order that feed pressure applied
to the
workpiece
by the push stick or block
does not
cause the workpiece
to come away from the fence,
and possibly cause a kickback.

18. During

rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece
must
be held down on the table and against the fence
with a push stick, push block, or featherboards.
A
featherboard
is made of solid lumber per sketch.

Learn to use the controls
for all operations
before actually

A series of six diagrams
is located on the top surface of the

Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a
