Using featherboards
See Figure 40
The featherboards provide support for the workpiece by
holding it securely, which helps minimize chatter and
kickback. Refer to page 13 for proper installation.
Insert the 2 featherboards as shown below, with the
sliding blocks positioned in the slot of the fence and then
securely tighten the knobs.
Insert the third featherboard with the hex head bolt
through the key hole slot of miter channel and tighten
knob securely.
Using miter guide
See Figure 39
The miter guide can serve as extra support for routing
small workpieces and for ends of long workpieces.
NOTE: Make sure that the fence and miter bar slot are
parallel before cutting.
To cut miters, unclamp knob that secures the protractor
head. Turn head up to 60° in either direction. Retighten
knob.
When making cuts using the miter guide, hold the work-
piece firmly against the fence, the miter guide, and the
table.
WARNING:
Do not allow any body part to be in line with the router
bit at any time when the miter gauge is in use. Doing
so could lead to serious personal injury.

4. When the cut is complete, move the workpiece away
from the bit, at the same time keeping it in contact with
the allen screw, until it clears the router bit completely.
