| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | Patford, the safety pin is located about 4" to the right from table center. You place your wood against the pin and then slowly move your wood against the cutter until the bearing engages the wood or pattern. This method prevents the wood from being grabbed by the bit. Once you have made contact with your bearing you may lift off the safety pin.
