PUSH STICK

In order to operate your table saw safely, you must use a push stick whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would otherwise
cause your hands to be within 6-inches (152mm) of the saw blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.
No special wood is needed to make additional pushsticks as long as it is sturdy and long enough with no knots, checks or cracks.
A length of approximately 16 inches (400mm) is recommended with a notch that fits against the edge of the workpiece to prevent
slipping. It's a good idea to have several push sticks of the same minimum length, 16 inches (400mm), with different size notches
for different workpiece thicknesses.
The shape can vary to suit your own needs as long as it performs its intended function of keeping your hands away from the blade.
Angling the notch so the push stick can be held at a 20 to 30-degree angle from the saw's table will help you to hold down the
workplace while also moving the saw.
To construct a push stick, use layout in (Fig. 20).
AUXILIARY MITER GAUGE
FACING
An auxiliary miter gauge facing is used to increase the surface
area of the miter gauge face.
If desired, you can fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary wood
facing that should be at least 1-inch (25mm) higher than
the maximum depth of cut, and at least as wide as the miter
gauge.
This auxiliary wood facing can be fastened to the front of the
miter gauge by using (2) M6 or
nuts, placing the nuts into the slots provided in the
miter gauge body (Fig. 21).
Make sure the screws are long enough to secure the facing.
The use of miter gauge with auxiliary facing is the same as
original miter gauge (without auxiliary facing). See page 24 for
the use of miter gauge.
Flat head must be recessed into face of
board.
