WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, 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 rec-
ommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and

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
, move it in an arc motion away from cutter,
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 cap
screw and that cap screw is very secure. If spindle
does not use a keyed washer, always tighten two
spindle nuts together, and ensure BOTH are very
secure. 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.
-10 -
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!
Model G0900 (Mfd. Since 11/23)
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.)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
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:
Grounding 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
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we recommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lifting & Placing
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
Shaper
The Model G0900 is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment rated
for at least 1500 lbs. to
move the shipping crate
and remove the machine
from the crate.
The Model G0900 can be lifted with one of the
following methods:

Preparing Spindle
for Test Run
2. Insert spindle base into spindle cartridge (see
Figure 15). Thread the spindle nut onto the
cartridge approximately 1 turn.
Each of the two spindles that come with the Model
G0900 is sized to work efficiently with different
sized cutters and spacers. The spindles must
be inserted correctly and remain securely locked
in the machine in order to produce quality work.
When installing and changing spindles, make
sure the spindle seats snugly and that there is
enough drawbar threaded into the bottom of the
spindle to safely secure it in place.
Incorrect assembly can allow the spindle
and cutter to fly off the machine, which
could cause injury or death. Make certain
the spindle is properly assembled before
operating the shaper. If you are uncertain of
any aspect of this assembly, please review
these instructions again or contact our
Customer Service.

Dust Collection
This machine creates a lot of wood chips/
dust during operation. Breathing airborne
dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk
by wearing a respirator and capturing the
dust with a dust-collection system.
Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect dust collection system to machine:
Fit 4" dust hoses over two dust ports and

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 personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
• Material Type: This machine is intended for
cutting natural and man-made wood products, laminate covered wood products, and
some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementitious backer board creates extremely fine
dust and may reduce the life of the bearings.
This machine is NOT designed to cut metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials
with a shaper may lead to injury.
• Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks
and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects
can become dislodged and hit the operator,
cause kickback, or break the blade, which
might then fly apart. Always visually inspect
your workpiece for these items. If they can't
be removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.
• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can
become dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots can cause kickback and
machine damage. Choose workpieces that
do not have large/loose knots or plan ahead
to avoid cutting through them.
Model G0900 (Mfd. Since 11/23)
• Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with a
moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the blades, increases the risk of
kickback, and yields poor results.
• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and
often unpredictable when being cut. DO NOT
use workpieces with these characteristics!
• Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped
side is facing the table or the fence. On
the contrary, a workpiece supported on the
bowed side will rock during a cut and could
cause kickback or severe injury.
-23-
Using Featherboards
Featherboards are used to hold the workpiece
flat on the table and snug against the fence.
The G0900 includes two different types of
featherboards: one for use with the table and one
for use with the fence.
Using Fence Featherboards
Fence featherboards come pre-installed on fence
faces, allowing clearance with table between 1"

Changing
Cutter Rotation
IMPORTANT: Always verify the direction of the
cutter rotation before any shaping operation. The
cutting operation should feed AGAINST direction
of cutter rotation.
The G0900 is equipped with a FWD/REV
(forward/reverse) switch, as shown in Figure 23.
In most cases, the shaper should be run in the
FWD direction.
2. Open cabinet access door, then release belt
tension by pulling the motor bracket handle
(see Figure 24).

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 UsingRub Collars,

Adjusting
Cutterhead Guard
The cutterhead guard (see Figure 29) 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.
Adjusting Fence
The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each
fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shaping applications. One full turn of the knurled microadjustment knob moves the split fence approximately

Straight Shaping
The fence assembly is a two-piece, independently
adjustable system. When removing material from
the whole face of your workpiece, the outfeed
fence can be adjusted to provide support for the
workpiece as it passes over the cutter, or it can be
set up for partial face removal.
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.
When removing material from the entire board
face, observe the following steps:
Unlock both fences with lock handles (see
1.
Figure 31).
2. Set both fences to 0" by turning micro-adjust-
ment knob counterclockwise(see Figure 31).
All guards MUST be
installed on shaper before
operating it. Shapers are
dangerous machines that
can quickly cause serious
injury if some kind of guard
is not used. To protect
yourself, read and follow
entire instruction manual
carefully and do additional research on shop made
guards and safety jigs.

to keep the workpiece in position. The fence
may not always be perfectly parallel to the
miter slot; therefore, using the miter gauge
can cause binding and possible kickback of
the workpiece towards the operator. Serious
personal injury could occur if this happens.

Rub
Collar
Not
Recommended!
Using Rub Collars
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.
There are two types of rub collars—solid and ballbearing. We recommend using ball bearing collars
and we carry an extensive line that is designed for
use with Grizzly shapers. See our current catalog
or website for listings.
Rub collars may be used in any of the following positions:
1. Rub collar below cutter: When rub collar is placed below cutter, as shown in Figure
36, progress of the cut can be observed.
However, any unintentional movement may
lift workpiece into the cutter, damaging your
work and creating a dangerous situation. We
DO NOT recommend using rub collar in this
position.
2. Above the cutter: When rub collar is used
above cutter, cut cannot be seen (see Figure
37). 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.
Rub
Collar
Figure 37. Cutting with rub collar above cutter.
3. Between two cutters: Using a rub col-
lar between two cutters has the distinct
advantage of performing two cuts at once or
eliminating the need to change cutters for two
different operations (see Figure 38). Notice
that part of the edge is left uncut. The uncut
portion rides on the rub collar.

Model G0900 (Mfd. Since 11/23)
Irregular Shaping
Freehand shaping greatly increases the
chance that the operator may lose control of
the workpiece, which could result in serious
personal injury. Therefore, a starting pin or
support MUST be used to start an irregular
shaping operation.
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 (see Rub Collars on Page 30).
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 a starting
pin that can be placed in one of the holes located
in the shaper table. The work should be placed in
the starting position using the starting pin for support, as shown in Figure 39.
Swing
Starting Pin
Next, swing the work into the cutter while holding the workpiece firmly against the starting pin.
After the cut has been started, the work should be
swung away from the starting pin and is supported just by the rub collar, as shown by the broken
line positions shown in Figure 39.
ALWAYS FEED AGAINST THE ROTATION OF
THE CUTTER.
All guards MUST be installed on your shaper
before operating it. Shapers are dangerous
machines that can quickly cause serious
injury if some kind of guard is not used. To
protect yourself, read and follow the entire
manual carefully and do additional research
on shop made guards and safety jigs.

Figure 40. Inserting starting pin.
7. Use some type of hold-down fixture and guard when doing freehand work (see Figure 41).
Incorrectly feeding stock—feeding with the
rotation of the cutter—creates a potentially
uncontrollable feed situation and may pull
stock from your hands. This can result in
serious personal injury.
Sometimes the starting pin will not be in the most
advantageous position. If so, firmly clamp a board
in the desired position to act as a starting pin
(see Figure 42). Some type of pivot point must be used. Notice in Figures 41 & 42 the operator
is not exposed to the cutting edge of the cutter.

Pattern Work
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 43 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 43, 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.
Things to consider when making a pattern or
fixture:
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.
Always perform test cuts on scrap stock to ensure
pattern works as required.

Shaping Small Stock
Feeding small stock through a shaper is always
dangerous. If you must shape small stock, use
a zero-clearance fence. This will provide greater
protection for the operator, better workpiece support, and reduced tearout on narrow or fragile
stock.
ALWAYS use hold-downs or featherboards
and push sticks when shaping small or narrow stock. These devices keep your hands
away from the spinning cutter and sufficiently support the stock to allow a safe and
effective cut, reducing the risk of personal
injury.
To shape small stock:

Note:When using zero-clearance fence,
the fence-mounted featherboards that come
with the G0900 must either be clamped/
mounted to zero-clearance fence or appropriate featherboards must be constructed.
The same is true if the size or positioning of
included table featherboards will not appropriately support a small workpiece. For both
of these scenarios, please refer to Making Featherboards on Page 36 for instructions

Making
Featherboards
Featherboards flex with minor height or width variations from stock as it passes through. Because
of the consistent pressure featherboards place
on the stock, cuts are more consistent, the risk
of kickback is greatly reduced, and the operator's hands do not need to get near the cutter
to maintain feeding pressure. If a kickback does
occur, featherboards will also slow down or stop
the workpiece.
Figure 47 shows the dimensions of a basic featherboard. The ultimate size is flexible and should
be built around the size of stock you are shaping.
The fingers can be cut with a bandsaw or table
saw.
IMPORTANT: Cuts made across the grain result
in weak fingers that easily break when flexed.
When made correctly, the fingers should withstand flexing from moderate pressure. To test the
finger flexibility, push firmly on the ends with your
thumb. If the fingers do not flex, they are likely too
thick (the cuts are too far apart).
As the G0900 includes featherboards for use
with both the table and the fence, simply use the
hardware included with these to affix shop-made
featherboards to your shaper (see Figure48).
To install a featherboard, feed a piece of stock halfway through the machine, then turn the machine
OFF. Place the featherboard against the stock so
all the fingers touch the edge of the stock, then
use T-slot mounting hardware to secure the featherboard. For best results, place featherboards just
before and just after the cutter.

Push Sticks Steps
Making Push Sticks
When used correctly, push sticks reduce the risk
of injury by keeping hands away from the cutter. In
the event of an accident, a push stick can absorb
damage that would have otherwise happened to
hands or fingers. Use push sticks whenever your
hands will get within 12" of the cutter. To maintain
control when shaping large workpieces, start by
feeding with your hands then use push sticks to
finish the operation, so your hands are not on the
end of the workpiece as it passes through the
cutter.
Feeding: Place the notched end of the push stick
against the end of the workpiece (see Figure
50), and move the workpiece into the cutter with
steady downward and forward pressure.
Supporting: A second push stick can be used
to keep the workpiece firmly against the fence
while cutting. When using this method, only apply
pressure before the cutter; otherwise, pushing
the workpiece against or behind the cutter will
increase the risk of kickback.

Box Guard Steps
Making Box Guards
Shop-made box guards are an excellent way to
enclose the cutter to virtually eliminate accidental
contact with the cutter during operation. Having
the cutter enclosed also helps increase the efficiency of dust collection. The drawback to box
guards is that one size does not fit all. Often, professional woodworkers who use box guards make
multiple guards that are different sizes.
Figure 51 shows one way to make and attach a
box guard to the Model G0900. This guard replaces the vertical clear plastic guard that is included
with the shaper. For durability and strength, use a
hardwood when making box guards. When installing the box guard, adjust the box guard approximately
featherboards on both sides.
1
⁄4" above the stock you will shape and use
Tips for making a custom box guard:
The thickness of your workpiece will determine
the height of the box guard. Therefore, you will
need to build a separate box guard for each
workpiece of a different thickness. A box guard
can be used with or without a zero-clearance
fence (see Making Zero-Clearance Fence on
Page 35 for instructions).
The box guard can either attach directly to wooden fence boards (or board) with screws (as shown
in Figure 52) or attach directly to the guard fence
assembly with the plastic guard hardware (as
shown in Figure 51). In either case, featherboards
should also be used on either side to support the
workpiece. Construct the box guard in a way that
it extends out over the cutter area while leaving
enough distance between the guard and the table
for the workpiece to easily pass by the cutter.
Refer to Figure 52 for an example.
Note: DO NOT use the box guard as a hold-
down or featherboard; instead, use the provided
featherboard that has the ability to flex with the
minor height variations of your stock.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine immediately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn or damaged cutters.
Clean/lubricate table and miter gauge.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
•
Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0900 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. Blow
out any hard-to-reach areas with compressed
air, and keep the spindle clear of wood dust and
chips. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron table by wiping it
clean after every use—this ensures moisture from
wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with regular applications of products like SLIPIT
®

a pad underneath the housing. The casting
will break if too much pressure is applied.
Should a bearing fail, your shaper will develop a
noticeable rumble, worse so when the machine is
put under load. If the bad bearing is not replaced,
it will eventually seize—possibly doing damage
to the machine. Bearings are standard sizes and
can be replaced through Grizzly.

Adjusting
Table Inserts
The removable table inserts are held in place by
a semi-permanent insert ring, which should be
adjusted level with the table top. This is necessary
to avoid the workpiece catching on the insert or
ring during operation, causing an unsafe condition
and poor cutting results.
Tools Needed Qty
Flat Head Screwdriver #1 .................................. 1
Hex Wrench 2mm
Precision Straightedge
To make insert and insert rings level with table
top:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
1.
2. Remove two smaller table insert.
3.
Lay straightedge across semi-permanent
insert and table surface in pattern shown in
Figure 68.

4. Adjust flat head screws (see Figure69) so
that ends of straightedge lay flat on table surface at all positions of pattern in Figure 68.
Figure 69. Example of table insert adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Table insert and surface must
be aligned evenly to ensure workpiece does
not catch on table insert or surface and kick
back.
5. Replace smaller table inserts, one at a time,
then use the straightedge to re-check the
inserts. If necessary, adjust set screws in
inserts to seat them level with table in all

Zeroing Out Fence Steps
Zeroing Out Fence
The G0900 features forward and backward
spindle rotation; either fence face can function as
the infeed or outfeed fence. However, the scales
indicating the fence face placement on the fence
assembly need to be accurately calibrated to
allow for accurate micro-adjusting. The factory
made these adjustments during production, but
you may need to adjust the settings if they have
been altered.
2. Loosen gib adjustment set screws and hex
nuts on fence or fences that do not display
"0" (see Figure70).
microadjustment knobs fully counterclockwise (see Figure70).
— If fence scales both indicate 0", no calibra-
tion is required.
— If fences display different measurements
on scales, proceed to the following steps
to calibrate.

3. Use fence micro-adjustment knobs to adjust
fences until 0" measurement is achieved on
both sides.
4. Tighten gib adjustment hardware to secure
setting.
5. Proceed to Aligning Fence Faces to ensure
fence faces are parallel.

Aligning
Fence Faces
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.
adjustment knobs fully counterclockwise, lock
them, then place straightedge against both
fence faces, as shown in Figure71.
................................ 1
4. Check to see if straightedge is flat against
fence faces and that there are no gaps along
its length.
— If there are no gaps anywhere between
the straightedge and the fence faces,
fences are parallel.
— If there is a gap between the straightedge
and the fence boards, continue to the following step.
5.
With straightedge against fence faces, adjust
fence set screws in small increments until
any gaps are bridged (see Figure72).
Figure 71. Example of aligning fence boards.
— If fence scales do not display 0" when
knob is fully turned, refer to the Zeroing Out Fence section on Page 49.

Truing
Wooden Fence
A flat and properly aligned fence creates a safer,
smoother cutting operation. A damaged or worn
fence should be replaced. If choosing to replace
or use wooden boards as fence faces, follow the
instructions below to ensure each is properly flattened and aligned correctly.
To align wooden fences:
Ensure bolts through wood fence facing on
1.
each side are tight and adequately countersunk.
To align fence faces, follow Steps 1–5 of
2.
Aligning Fence Faces on Page 50.
If fences are not coplanar with each other,
3.
remove both fences and resurface as one
unit. You can perform this operation on a
jointer as shown in Figure 73.
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!

jointer.

Aligning Pulleys
Pulley alignment is important to the performance
of your shaper. If the pulleys are just slightly out of
alignment, the shaper may suffer from power loss
and decreased V-belt life. When the pulleys are
parallel and aligned with each other, they are said
to be coplanar—in the same plane.
2.
Remove motor access panel, then loosen the
four motor mounting hex bolts, as shown in
Figure 75. It may be easier to access back
bolts from cabinet access door.
The gib controls the smoothness of the slide
movement, as well as the run-out or end play of
the spindle. Tightening the gib too much will make
it hard to adjust the height of the spindle and
cause excessive wear on the slide. Loosening the
gib too much will introduce spindle end play and
cause poor cutting results and excessive wear on
the spindle bearings.
Checking Gib Adjustment
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Use spindle height handwheel to raise
spindle to its highest position.
— If it is difficult to turn handwheel or you
feel resistance from spindle slide, gib may
need to be loosened.
Attempt to wiggle top of spindle. If there is
3.
movement, gib may need to be tightened.
To adjust gib:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen jam nuts on gib adjustment set
screws (see Figure 77).
