and guard are essential for
proper safety and performance and must
always be used (except when using the
starter pin and auxiliary guard instead of the
fence.)
Once the fence is secured in the desired
position, do the following:
1. Place the workpiece on the table against the
fence faces near the bit.
2. Loosen the knurled steel knobs in front and
back of the raised areas of fence housing to
allow the featherboard and guard to move
front-to-back.
3. Move the featherboard and guard assembly
forward or back as needed so that the
featherboard is centered over the cutting
area. When using small bits to route the edge
of the workpiece, this means the fence
should be placed against or near the fence
faces. For larger bits, the featherboard should
be positioned farther away from the fence.
4. Tighten the four knurled steel knobs against
the fence housing.
5. Loosen the knurled knobs behind the
featherboard.
6. Press the featherboard down enough to keep
the workpiece pressed against the table and
to create a slight drag on the workpiece.
7. While continuing to press down on the
featherboard, tighten the knurled steel knobs
to secure the featherboard at this level.
