No list of safety guidelines can be complete. 

Every shop environment is different. Always 

consider  safety  first,  as  it  applies  to  your 

individual working conditions. Use this and 

other  machinery  with  caution  and  respect. 

Failure to do so could result in serious per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor 

work results.

Like  all  machines  there  is  danger  associ-

frequently  caused  by  lack  of  familiarity  or 

failure  to  pay  attention.  Use  this  machine 

with respect and caution to lessen the pos-

sibility  of  operator  injury.  If  normal  safety 

precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

Additional Safety Instructions for Shapers

1.

 

HAND  POSITIONING.

  Never  place  hands 

directly over or in front of the cutter. As one 
hand  approaches  the  cutter,  move  it  in  an 
arc  motion  away  from  the  cutter  to  the  out-
feed side. Always keep hand at least 6" away 
from the cutter while operating.

2.  SAFETY  DEVICES.

  Use  a  fixture,  jig,  or 

hold-down  device  to  decrease  the  chances 
of injury.

3.  SAFETY  GUARDS.

  DO  NOT  remove  the 

retractable guard on the fence. Use a guard 
or other type of protective device at all times. 
Use  overhead  guard  when  the  fence  is 
removed.

4.  CUTTER HEIGHT. 

Keep any unused portion 

of the cutter below the table surface.

5.

 

STOCK LENGTH.

 Do not use stock shorter 

than 6 inches without special fixtures or jigs. 
Where practical, shape longer stock and cut 
to size.

6.

 

STOCK  CONDITION. 

The  danger  of  kick-

back is increased when the stock has knots, 
holes, or foreign objects in it. Warped stock 
should  be  run  through  a  jointer  before  you 
run it through a shaper.

7.

 

BLIND  CUT  WHEN  POSSIBLE.

  Blind  cuts 

keep  the  cutters  on  the  underside  of  the 
workpiece and provide a distance guard for 
the operator. 

8.  TEST  ROTATION.

  With  the  machine 

unplugged,  rotate  the  spindle  to  test  any 
new setup to ensure proper cutter clearance 
before starting the machine.

9.  DEPTH  OF  CUT.

  Never  remove  too  much 

material  in  one  pass.  Several  light  passes 
are safer and produce a cleaner finish.

10.  SHAPING  CONTOURED  WORK.

  Always 

use  a  rub  collar  and  a  template.  DO  NOT 
start out at a corner. See the rub collar sec-
tion further on in the manual.

 

11.

 

FEEDING  THE  WORKPIECE.

  Always  feed 

the workpiece against the rotation of the cut-
ter. Never force materials through the shaper. 
Let the cutters do the work. Excessive force 
is likely to result in poor cutting results and 
will cause dangerous kickback conditions. 

12.

 

SECURING  NUTS  AND  KNOBS. 

Never 

operate the shaper without the second lock-
ing nut in place over the spindle nut. Always 
ensure  that  the  cutters,  fence,  and  spindle 
elevator knob have been tightened properly 
before beginning any operation.
