The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each
fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. One turn of the knob moves the
split fence approximately
5
/64" (.078").
To adjust the fence:
1.
Loosen the fence lock handle (see Figure 39).
2.
Turn the fence adjustment knob
(see Figure 39) until the fence is set to the
desired position.

The safety guard (see Figure 40) protects the
user from exposure to the cutter and chips thrown
by it. To minimize the risk of injury, the guard must
be adjusted so it encloses as much of the spindle
area as possible, while still allowing the workpiece
to pass through the cut. Typically, this means the
guard is positioned to just clear the top of the
workpiece.
To position the safety guard, loosen the knob
bolts (see Figure 40) and raise or lower the guard
as needed. Tighten the knob bolts to secure the
setting.
All guards MUST be
installed on your shaper
before operating it.
Shapers can quickly cause
serious injury if some kind
of guard is not used. To
reduce your risk of injury,
read and follow the entire
Owner's Manual carefully
and do additional research
on shop-made guards and
safety jigs.
