Depending on the job use suitable safety devices, which
prevent accidental contact with the rotating cutter. Adapt
these safety devices exactly to the respective application and

Adapt the spindle speed to the cutter diameter.
Always keep your hands well clear of the cutting tool.
Never reach with your hands under the shaper guard when
guiding the workpiece!
Machine only stock which rests securely on the table.
Always feed stock against cutter rotation.
Workpieces shorter than 300mm require special feeding aids
(e.g. feeding template).
Never machine a workpiece if it cannot be guided with a
sufficient distance to the cutting tool.
Tenoning work requires the optionaly available tenoning
carriage
Use a push block when working the ends of narrow stock.
Always store the push stick or the push wood handle with the
machine, also when not in use.
Specifications regarding the maximum or minimum size of the
