ATTACHING THE FEATHERBOARDS
(fig 11)
ATTACH THE FEATHER BOARD TO THE FENCE

2. Insert the long round-head square-neck bolt (9)
through the holes in the fence and the slot in the
feather boards.
3. Slide a plain washer (7) onto the bolt.
4. Tighten the wing nut (6) to secure the fence and
feather board.
ATTACH THE FEATHER BOARD TO THE TABLETOP
SURFACE
1. Place the feather board on the tabletop surface.
2. Place an ellipse-shaped washer (20) onto the long round-head square-neck bolts (9). Insert the bolt
through the holes in the tabletop surface and the slot in the feather boards.
3. Slide a plain washer (7) onto the bolt.
4. Tighten the wing nut (6) to secure the fence and feather board
ROUTING WITH FEATHER BOARDS
Feather boards are helpful in controlling the workpiece while routing and assist in keeping the
workpiece flat on the tabletop. The tabletop feather board, combined with the fence feather board, help
to keep the workpiece pressed against the fence and tabletop. The best location for the feather boards
varies according to your application, workpiece size, and other factors.
1. Loosely install the featherboard(s) as described above.
2. Place the workpiece on the router table so that it is squarely against the fence.
3. Position the featherboards snugly against the workpiece and tighten the clamping knobs.
4. The workpiece should move with some resistance but without requiring a great effort.
5. For wider workpieces, the tabletop featherboard cannot be used.

TING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:

WARNING!
