Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Model G0510ZW (Mfd. Since 9/16)

Additional Safety for Shapers

Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutter.
Cutters or other parts improperly secured to spindle can fly off and strike nearby operators with
great force. Flying debris can cause eye injuries or blindness. To minimize risk of getting hurt
or killed, anyone operating shaper MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

AVOIDING CUTTER CONTACT: Keep unused

portion of cutter below table. Use smallest table
insert possible. Adjust fences and guards as close
as practical to cutter, or use a zero-clearance
fence or box guard. Always keep some type of

guard or other protective device between your
hands and cutter at all times!

PROTECT HANDS/FINGERS: While feeding
workpiece, avoid awkward hand positions. Never
pass hands directly over, or in front of, cutter. As
one hand approaches a 6-inch radius point from
cutter, move it in an arc motion away from cutter,
and reposition it on the outfeed side.

FEEDING WORKPIECE: To reduce risk of acci­dental cutterhead contact, always use push blocks
or some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device
to safely feed workpiece while cutting. Use an
outfeed support table if shaping long workpieces
to ensure proper support throughout entire cutting
procedure. ALWAYS feed workpiece AGAINST
rotation of cutter. NEVER start shaper with work­piece contacting cutter!

CUTTING DEPTH: Never attempt to remove too
much material in one pass. Doing this increases
risk of workpiece kickback. Instead, make sev­eral light passes—this is a safer way to cut and it
leaves a cleaner finish.

SMALL WORKPIECES: There is a high risk of
accidental cutter contact with small workpieces,
because they are closer to cutter and more diffi­cult to control. To reduce your risk, only feed small
workpieces using jigs or holding fixtures that allow
your hands to stay safely away from cutter. When
possible, shape longer stock and cut to size.

SAFE CUTTER CLEARANCES: Operator or
bystanders may be hit by flying debris if cut­ter contacts fence, guard, or table insert upon
startup. Always ensure any new cutter setup has
proper cutter rotational clearance before startup.

SAFE CUTTER INSTALLATION: Improperly
secured knives/inserts, cutters, or rub collars may
become dangerous projectiles if they come loose.
Always ensure keyed washer is directly under
spindle nut and spindle nut is tight. If spindle does
not use a keyed washer, always use two spindle
nuts together, and ensure BOTH are tight. Never
use cutters/bits rated for an RPM lower than
spindle speed.

AVOIDING CLIMB CUTS: Feeding workpiece in
same direction of cutter rotation is a “climb cut.”
Climb cutting can aggressively pull workpiece—
and hands—into cutter. Always first verify direc­tion of cutter rotation before starting, and always
feed workpiece AGAINST cutter rotation.

WORKPIECE CONDITION: Shaping a workpiece
with knots, holes, or foreign objects increases
risk of kickback and cutter damage/breakage.
Thoroughly inspect and prepare workpiece before
shaping. Always “square up” a workpiece before
shaping or flatten workpiece edges with a jointer
or planer. Rough, warped, or wet workpieces
increase risk of kickback.

CUTTER POSITIONING: Whenever possible,
make shaping cuts with cutter on underside of
workpiece to reduce operator exposure to cutter.

Model G0510ZW (Mfd. Since 9/16)

SAFETY GUARDS. To reduce risk of unintention­al contact with cutter, always ensure included cut­ter guard, or a properly dimensioned box guard, or
some other type of guard is installed and correctly
positioned before operation.

CONTOUR SHAPING: To reduce risk of unin­tentional cutter contact while freehand shaping
or using a rub collar as a guide, always use an
overhead or “ring” type guard. To reduce kickback
risk, always use starting pin or pivot board when
starting the cut. NEVER start shaping at a corner!

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.

Model G0510ZW (Mfd. Since 9/16)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding

Hardware Recognition Chart

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Assembly

3. Thread rubber feet into stand bottom, as

shown in Figure 11.

Before beginning, refer to Needed for Setup sec­tion and gather all applicable items. Ensure all
parts have been properly cleaned of the heavy­duty rust-preventative applied at the factory. Refer
to Cleanup on Page 15 for more information.

To assemble shaper:

1. Lay one stand side on ground and attach both

cross braces with (8) M8-1.25 X 10 carriage
bolts, (8) 8mm flat washers, and (8) M8-1.25
hex nuts, as shown in Figure 10. DO NOT

fully tighten nuts and bolts at this time.

4. Place shaper table upside down on (2) 20"
4x4 blocks, as shown in Figure 12. Spindle
may need to be retracted to avoid contact
with ground by releasing spindle elevation
lock and turning elevation lever.

Note: Make sure the spindle DOES NOT

touch the ground or the weight of the shaper
may damage the spindle.

5. Place stand assembly on shaper and attach
with (8) M8-1.25 x 20 carriage bolts and (8)
8mm lock washers, (8) 8mm flat washers,
and (8) M8-1.25 hex nuts (see Figure 12).

Shaper Cutters or

Router Bits

Shaper Cutters

Pros—Shaper cutters are larger, more durable
and generally last longer than router bits. If you
plan on cutting many linear feet of a certain pro­file, then shaper cutters are the best choice.

Installing Cutters

The G0510ZW operates at 8900 RPM and the
provided spindle is designed for
ters. Always check the rated speed for any cutter
before installing it. If the shaper is faster than the
rated speed of the cutter, then the cutter may fly
apart during operation and cause injury. Do not

use cutters rated for speeds lower than the
spindle!

1

⁄2" bore cut-

Cons—Shaper cutters are more expensive than
router bits and are generally larger, which makes
them less compatible for small projects.

The Model G0510ZW is ready to use shaper cut­ters when shipped. If you plan on using shaper
cutters with your shaper, skip to on this page and
read Installing Cutters.

Router Bits

Pros—Router bits are much cheaper than shaper
cutters and come in a wider range of profiles and
sizes. If you plan on making smaller projects that
do not require many linear feet of cutting, then
router bits are the best choice.

Cons—Router bits are not as durable as shaper
cutters, and because of their small size, they lend
themselves better to the faster speeds of a router.

If you plan to use router bits in your shaper, you
must first convert the shaper to a router table.
Refer to the Router Table Conversion instruc­tions on Page 39 to learn how to do this.

Tools Needed: Qty

Open-End Wrench 26mm .................................. 1

Open-End Wrench 8mm.................................... 1

To install shaper cutter:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Place a spacer or collar (if needed) at base of

spindle to support cut at desired height.

3. Place cutter on spindle and make sure cutter
rotation direction is correct.

4. Place an appropriate spacer or collar (if
needed) above cutter (refer to Page 27 for
more information).

5. Place spindle washer on top of spacers/cut­ter, and thread on spindle nut (see Page 19).

6. Tighten spindle nut while holding spindle sta­tionary with an 8mm wrench on spindle flats
for leverage, as shown in Figure 18.

Installing Router Bits

In order to use router bits, you must first convert
the shaper to a router table. Refer to the Router
Table Conversion instructions on Page 39 to
learn how to do this.

Changing Cutter

Rotation

Always check the direction of the cutter rota­tion before any shaping operation.

To install router bit:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen collet nut and insert router bit all the
way (see Figure 19).

3. Use spindle elevation lever (see Figure 19)

to raise spindle and gain access to spindle
flats beneath table.

4. Hold spindle flats with spindle wrench, and
tighten collet nut, as shown in Figure 19.

⁄2 " and 1⁄4"

The G0510ZW is equipped with a FWD/REV (for­ward and reverse) switch, as shown in Figure 20.
In most cases, the shaper should be run in the
FWD direction. If you are using router bits, always
run the shaper in the FWD direction. Router bits
are not designed to run backwards.

In some instances, it will be necessary to flip the
cutter over and reverse the cutter rotation.

Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the stock
is milled on the bottom side (the side away from
the operator). This does a better job and it is safer
for the operator. Refer to Rub Collars, Page 26.

Adjusting Spindle

Height

The spindle height is adjustable to allow for preci­sion positioning of cutter/bit exposure from the
table surface.

Fence Adjustments

Each side of the fence is independently adjust­able to compensate for different cutting thickness­es and special shaping applications. One turn of
the fence offset knob (see Figure 23) moves the
split fence approximately

3

/64" (.040").

After making adjustments, it is extremely impor­tant to always lock the spindle in place before
operating the shaper. Otherwise, the spindle posi­tion can easily shift, causing inconsistent cutting
results from workpiece to workpiece.

To adjust cutter height:

1. Loosen spindle elevation lock shown in
Figure 21.

Spindle

2. Move spindle up or down with elevation

adjustment lever, shown in Figure 22, until
desired spindle height is obtained.

When removing material from the whole face
of your workpiece, the outfeed fence should be
adjusted to the proper offset to provide support for
the workpiece as it passes over the cutter.

To adjust fence for straight shaping:

1. Loosen fence lock lever (see Figure 23).

3. Lock infeed fence with fence lock lever.

Model G0510ZW (Mfd. Since 9/16)

The fence may not always be perfectly paral­lel to miter slot; therefore, using miter gauge
can cause binding and possible kickback of
workpiece towards operator. DO NOT use
miter gauge to feed material along fence
face when straight shaping. Use a push
stick and hold-downs to keep workpiece in
position.

Straight Shaping

Attempting to operate the shaper without
proper knowledge of the machine could
cause serious injury or death! Read through
the entire manual carefully before attempting
to make any cuts with your shaper.

4. Turn shaper ON, advance a 36" or longer test

piece through cutterhead about 8'', then stop,
and turn machine OFF.

5. When cutter comes to a complete stop, adjust
outfeed fence against the new profiled edge.
Lock outfeed fence into position and retest.

Perimeter Cutting

Rub Collars

When a workpiece requires all sides to receive a
shaped profile, it is important to begin with the end
grain sides before cutting the long grain side. As
a cutter approaches the edge of end grain, a small
amount of tear-out will commonly occur. By run­ning end grain edges first, the tear-out is removed
when the long grain cuts are completed.

Completing cuts in multiple passes (when possi­ble) rather than one heavy cut, will often produce
cleaner results and can prolong cutter life.

To cut an edge around workpiece perimeter:

1. Cut workpiece sides (1 & 2) with end grain
first (see Figure 31).

2. Cut sides with grain (3 & 4) last, or in
sequence, as shown in Figure 31.

1

3

Rub collars are used when shaping curved or
irregular workpieces, such as arched doors or
round table tops, and to limit the depth of your
cut. When using a solid rub collar, do not use
excessive pressure when running your workpiece
through the shaper. Otherwise, a groove may
burn into your pattern and be transferred to your
workpiece. Instead, take several passes, using
lighter pressure against the rub collar.

There are two types of rub collars—solid and
ball-bearing. While the Model G0510ZW comes
with solid rub collars, Grizzly carries an extensive
line of ball bearing rub collars as upgrades. See

Accessories on Page 32.

Use rub collars in any of the following posi­tions:

1. Rub collar below cutter: When rub collar

is placed below cutter (see Figure 32), cut
progress can be observed. However, any
unintentional movement may lift workpiece
into cutter, damaging your work and creating
a dangerous situation. We DO NOT recom-

mend using a rub collar in this position.

2. Rub collar above cutter: Cut cannot be
seen during operation when rub collar is
above cutter (see Figure 33). However, this
offers some advantage—stock is not affected
by slight variations in thickness and acciden­tal lifting will not damage workpiece. Simply
correct any change in height by repeating
operation.

3. Rub collar between two cutters: Using

rub collar between two cutters offers distinct
advantage of performing two cuts at once or
eliminating a need to change cutters for two
different operations (see Figure 34). Notice
that part of your workpiece edge remains
uncut and rides along rub collar.

Irregular Shaping

Freehand shaping greatly increases chance
that operator may lose control of workpiece;
therefore, use a starting pin to increase
control while freehand shaping. Loss of
control could result in loss of fingers or
other serious personal injury.

Irregular or freehand shaping takes a high degree
of skill and dexterity. The fence assembly is not
used in irregular shaping, so rub collars must
be used. Refer to Rub Collars on Page 27 for
details.

When doing freehand work, a starting pin
must be used! The purpose of the starting pin

is to support the workpiece during the beginning
of the cut. Your shaper is supplied with two start­ing pins that can be placed in either of the holes
located in the shaper table. Your work should be
placed in the starting position, using the starting
pin for support, as illustrated in Figure 35.

Next, carefully swing the workpiece into the cutter
while holding it firmly against the starting pin. After
the cut has been started, the workpiece should be
swung away from the starting pin and supported
just by the rub collar, as shown by the broken line
positions in Figure 35.

Note: Always feed against the rotation of the
cutter.

2. Remove fence assembly by removing fence
pivot knobs and flat washers and lifting fence
free.

3. Use wrench to remove threaded fence pivot
bolts.

4. Choose an appropriate cutter for your appli­cation and lock it in place.

5. Check cutter rotation.

6. Adjust spindle height to align your workpiece

to cutter.

7. Insert a starting pin into table surface, using
pin location that best supports your workpiece.

8. Use some type of hold-down fixture and
guard when doing freehand work.

9. To test your setup, run a scrap piece of wood
stock through shaper using your left hand to
support workpiece against starting pin and
your right hand to feed. Keep firm pressure
on your workpiece so it runs tight to rub col­lar. Feed against cutter rotation only.

Starting

Block

Figure 36. Starting block used in place of

starting pin.

The purpose of the starting block is to support the
workpiece during the beginning of the cut. The
workpiece is typically placed in the starting posi­tion, using the starting fixture for support, then
swung into the cutter while holding the workpiece
firmly against the starting fixture. After the cut has
been started, the work is swung away from the
starting fixture and is supported only by the rub
coll ar. Always feed AGAINST the rotation of

the cutter and do not start cuts at corners in
order to avoid kickback or grain tear-out.

When using a solid rub collar, do not use exces­sive pressure when running your workpiece
through the shaper. Otherwise, a groove may
burn into your pattern and be transferred to your
workpiece. Instead, take several passes, using
lighter pressure against the rub collar. If you find
this to be a consistent problem, you may consider
using ball bearing rub collars instead of solid col­lars. See Accessories on Page 32.

Incorrectly feeding stock—feeding WITH
rotation of cutter—creates potentially
uncontrollable feed situation that may pull
stock from your hands. Follow instructions
at all times or serious personal injury can
occur.

Pattern Work

Things to consider when making a pattern or
fixture:

When using a pattern, a rub collar or ball bearing
can be positioned either above, below, or between
cutters.

The pattern is usually used when the entire edge
is to be shaped or when many duplicate pieces
are needed. Pattern work is particularly useful
when rough cutting irregular shapes oversize and
then shaping the edge in a simple two-step opera­tion. A pattern, when attached to a workpiece by
adding toggle clamps, hand-holds, or other safety
devices, make a fixture. Figure 37 shows proper
setup of pattern and bearing rub collar.

You have greater flexibility when choosing the cor­rect diameter rub collar for pattern work than for
non-pattern work. If you look at Figure 37, you will
notice that the position of the pattern determines
the depth of cut. In other words, your pattern size
is dependent upon the inter-relationship of the rub
collar cutting diameter, and the desired amount of
material removed. Changing either the cutter or
the rub collar will change the amount of material
removed. Planning ahead, you can best decide
which rub collars are best suited for your applica­tion.

Always perform test cuts on scrap stock to ensure
pattern works as required.

• Use a material that will smoothly follow rub
collar, ball bearing or fence.

• Secure workpiece to a pattern (on sides that
will not be cut) with toggle clamps, or fasten
with wood screws.

• Make your fixture stable! Use proven meth-
ods and materials, and attach hand-holds for
operator comfort and safety.

• Ensure clamps and hidden screws do not
come into contact with cutter.

• Design your fixture so that all cutting occurs
beneath workpiece.

• Always consider rub collar diameter for cor-
rect depth-of-cut when designing your pat­tern.

• Make sure your workpiece rests flat on work
table, not on work fixture.

• Remember, there are tremendous cutting
forces involved. Fixtures must be solid and
stable, and any workpiece must be firmly
secured.

Use care in designing and making fixtures.
Clamps and screws cannot touch the cutter,
and the fixtures must be stable in use, with
the workpiece resting on the shaper table,
not on the fixture. The workpiece must be
fixed securely to the jig.

If you do any kind of irregular shaping, rub col­lars are a must! Rub collars are used for shaping
curved work such as cathedral doors, as well as
many custom shapes. They are also used for
limiting depth-of-cut, like guide bearings on router
bits.

Fence Board

Alignment

For safe and accurate shaping, the fence boards
must be parallel with one another so that they
properly support the workpiece through the entire
cutting operation.

Truing Fence

A flat and properly aligned fence creates a safer,
smoother cutting operation. A damaged or worn
fence should be replaced. Be sure to replace
BOTH fences at the same time to ensure each is
properly flattened and align correctly.

To align fences:

1. Ensure bolts through wood fence facing on

each side are tight and adequately counter­sunk.

To make the fence boards parallel:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Make sure the fence boards are even with

each other, then place the straightedge
against both fence boards, as shown in
Figure 61.

Straightedge

Figure 61. Example of aligning fence boards.

2. To align fence faces, rotate fence offset knob

so they are in alignment. Micro-adjust and
check alignment with a straightedge.

3. If fences are not coplanar with each other,
remove both fences and resurface as one
unit. You can perform this operation on a
jointer as shown in Figure 62.

Make sure screws are countersunk deep
enough so workpiece will not come in
contact with heads of screws! Check screw
depth after each pass to ensure that screws
will not contact knives!

— If there is a gap between the straight-

edge and the fence boards, use shims as
needed between the fence boards and
the mounting brackets to make the boards
completely parallel with each other along
their entire length.

Replacing Spindle

4. Loosen both motor mount bolts, slide motor

forward, and remove V-belt.

Cartridge Assembly

The spindle cartridge assembly features factory­sealed bearings. A sealed bearing requires no
lubrication during its lifetime.

If a bearing fails, your shaper will probably devel­op a noticeable rumble, which increases when the
machine is put under load. If allowed to worsen,
overheating of the housing containing the bad
bearing could occur, which may cause the bearing
to seize and possibly damage other parts of the
machine.

The replacement procedure can be accomplished
in 15-20 minutes.

stated in this manual, and study this section carefully.

If there are differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at
[phone] for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine. An updated

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical com­ponents!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre­dictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved after­market parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires dis­connected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious per­sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are expe­riencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at [phone].
