WORK HELPERS

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of
the "Basic Saw Operations . "
Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is
necessary to use certain devices, "Work Helpers,"
PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK
Make the push stick using a piece of 1 x 2 as
shown (Fig . 42) .
Make the push block using pieces of 3/8" plywood
A and 3/4" hardwood B (Fig . 43) .
The small piece of wood, 1/2" x 3/8" x 2-1/2",
should be GLUED to the plywood . DO NOT USE
NAILS . This is to prevent dulling the sawblade in
the event you mistakenly cut into the push block .
Position the handle in the center of the plywood
and fasten it together with glue and woodscrews .
Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 inches or
more from the blade . Use a push block when the
operation is too narrow to allow the use of a push
stick . For proper use, see "Ripping" and "Bevel
Ripping sections . "
The push stick or block should be used in the place
of the user's hand to guide the material only be-
tween the fence and blade .
When using a push stick or push block, the trailing
end of the board must be square . A push stick or
block against an uneven end could slip off or push
the work away from the fence .
MAKING A FEATHERBOARD
Figure 44 illustrates dimensions for making a typi-
cal feather board . It should be made from a straight
piece of wood that is free of knots or cracks . Kerf
E should be about 1/4" apart (Fig. 44).

like the Push Stick, the Push Block and the Auxil-
iary Fence, which you can make yourself .
After you have made a few practice cuts, make
these "help ers" before starting any projects . Make
the "Push Stick" first. (A push stick is included with
this table saw) .
