How to restrict machining area for 2D Face operation?

I have a disk with a cutout.  I want to face the surface of the disk, but restrict the machining area so the bit does not pass over the cutout.  With other toolpaths, I can select the machining boundary using a Sketch selection, but that doesn't seem to work for the Face toolpath.

 

Under Face: Stock Contours, the pop-up info says I can select any size or shape area to Face.   But I must be missing the trick.

 

Any suggestions?  Thanks!
