26. When shaping with collars and starting pin, the cutter
should be positioned below the collar when possible (Fig. F).
1 IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation
of Wood Shapers, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor or other qualified person.
2. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections. Make certain that the tool is properly
grounded.
3. NEVER turn the tool “ON” before clearing the table of all
objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
4. DO NOT process materials less than 12" in length or 4" in
width without special supporting fixtures. Use push sticks,
featherboards, or holddowns whenever possible.
5. ALWAYS use a miter gauge and a clamp attachment
when edge shaping work less than 6" wide. Remove the fence
during this operation.
6. AVOID awkward hand positions. A sudden slip could
allow the hand to contact the cutter.
7. KEEP hands away from cutting tool.
8. NEVER run the stock between the fence and the
cutter.
9. DO NOT feed material that is warped, contains knots, or
is embedded with foreign objects, (nails or staples, etc.).
10. NEVER start the tool with the stock in contact with the
cutter.
11. NEVER reach under the table while the tool is running.
12. NEVER perform layout, assembly, or set-up work on the
table while the tool is operating.
13. KEEP cutters sharp and free from rust and pitch.
14. ADJUST THE FENCE HALVES so that the cutter opening
is never more than is required to clear the cutter.
15. ALWAYS lock the fence hardware after making fence
adjustments.
16. PROPERLY SECURE THE CUTTERS before starting the
tool.
17. DO NOT perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS use
the fence for straight shaping, the miter gauge for edge
shaping, and the starting pin and rub collars for curve shaping.
18. ALWAYS keep the front motor access panel closed while
operating the tool.
19. WEAR HEARING PROTECTION to safeguard against
hearing loss.
20. USE GUARDS provided with the machine when
possible.
21. MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS with the power “OFF”.
22. BEFORE leaving the machine, make sure the work area is
clean.
23. WHEN SHAPING with collars and starting pin, the collar
MUST have sufficient bearing surface (Fig. B). The wrong way
to perform this operation is illustrated in Fig. C. Note that the
collar DOES NOT have sufficient bearing surface.
25. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should short work of
light body be shaped against the collars (Fig. E).
27. Feed workpiece against cutter rotation (Fig. G)
