This is a user manual for a 3D printed tool called the Push Block. It's designed to make it safer to use a circular saw or router under a table by allowing you to push a piece of wood while keeping your hands away from the blade. Here are some key points from the manual: **Caution**: This is a safety tool, and the user takes full responsibility for its use. **Modifications made to the design**: * The handle is ergonomic and can be turned up to 15°. * A small part called "tail" slides into the back of another part called "bottom", allowing it to automatically push the end of a piece of wood. **Printing tips**: * No bridges or supports are needed, but a brim or raft may help prevent warping for certain parts. * The tool requires a lot of filament and patience to print. **Assembly**: * Use a Ø4 mm tap to make threads on each side of the main part before assembly. * Assemble the tool following the order shown in the pictures. * Note that the back knob is different from other knobs. **Required parts**: * 1 x Knob_bottom_back * 6 x knob * 2 x Side * 1 x handle * 1 x Main * 2 x Insert * 1 x bottom * 1 x router plate * 1 x Stabilizing plate * 1 x Tail * 1 x side plate **Required materials**: * Ø4 mm tap (optional) * 2 screws M5×30/35 mm with cruciform head for the handle * 2 M5 nuts for the handle * 8 screws TBHC BASE PLATE M4X16 STAINLESS A2 for the sides * 6 bolts HT M4X20 for the knobs * 6 M4 nuts for the knobs * Non-skid coating to place in lower part Overall, this manual provides clear instructions on how to print and assemble a useful tool for safer woodworking.
