There is a slight trick to it. I first put in a 10 inch piece of MDF and used the machine just to measure it. I loaded the project, answered all the questions. When it asked for the bit, lifted the head and swapped the MDF out for the 4" oak board (and the 1/4" rail tops). Lowered the head, enter, enter, and away it went.
Bait and switch.
