as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown, so that
leading edges of featherboards will support workpiece until
cut is complete, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter (sawblade, dado head, molding
head, etc.) with a pushstick, as n ripping.

workpiece; be oositive they are secure, and

kickback if one should occur.
Featherboards are not employed during non thru-sawing
operations when using the miter gage.
Replace the sawblade guard as soon as the non thru-sawing
operation is complete.
