Standard Safety Instructions

limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future reference.

3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a threehole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.

4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

5. Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environments. Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.

6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.

7. Make sure the machine power switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to machine.

8. Keep the work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.

9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance while operating unit.

10. Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

11. Stop and disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

-4-

12. DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13. Use correct tool. DO NOT force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14. Wear proper apparel. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair

away from moving parts.

15. Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16.Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must, examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good

16.

condition. The amperage rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times and lock mobile base from freely rolling before using your machine.

18. DO NOT leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

SAFETY

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating

machines near pilot lights and/or open flames creates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. DO NOT operate the machine in high- risk areas, including but not limited to, those mentioned above.

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

22. Habits are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and consistent safety practices will become second-nature to you.

Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Additional Safety Instructions for Shapers

SAFETY

1. Never place your hands within 12 inches of the cutters. Never pass your hands directly over or

2. DO NOT shape stock shorter than 12 inches without special fixtures or jigs. Where practical,

3. Keep the cutters on the underside of the workpiece whenever possible. This provides a distance

4. UNPLUG THE SHAPER, and always rotate the spindle by hand to test any new setup to ensure

guard for the operator.

proper cutter clearance before starting the shaper.

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect, and always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Remember, no list of safety guidelines can be complete, and every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines can result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment and/or poor work results.

5. When shaping contoured work and using a rub collar, NEVER start shaping at a corner. See the

rub collar section further on in the manual. The danger of kick-back is increased when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it.

6. Always run warped stock through a jointer before you run it through the shaper.

7. Keep any unused portion of the cutter below the table surface.

8. Never attempt to remove too much material in one pass. Several light passes are safer and give

a cleaner finish.

9. In most applications it is advisable to use a push stick as a safety device; in others it can be quite dangerous. If the push stick comes in contact with the cutter on the end grain, it can be violently propelled from your hand—potentially causing serious injury. We recommend using some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer alternative. And ALWAYS use a guard or other type of protective device at all times.

10. Always make sure cutter is positioned in the correct direction before starting shaper, and always feed against the rotation of the cutter.

11. Use overhead guard when the fence is not in place.

12. Never operate the shaper without the second locking nut in place over the spindle nut. See

.Page 26, Figure 39.

ELECTRICAL

220V Operation

The SHOP FOX®Model W1702 Shaper 220 volt motor draws approximately 18 amps. Purchase a NEMA-style L6-20 plug and receptacle for the power supply circuit connection.

Since other machines may be using the same circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker, or fuse can carry a 20 amp load. If the total amperage load of all machines and the shaper exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit that can carry the load.

DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit by only replacing the circuit breaker with a breaker rated for a higher amperage. The

ELECTRICAL

breaker and the complete circuit must be replaced by a qualified electrician, otherwise the wires can overheat and cause a fire.

Extension Cords

We DO NOT recommend using an extension cord with most equipment because the cord can generate heat that may cause a fire or circuit damage. If you must use an extension cord, use the guidelines below.

Any electrical outlet and circuit that you plug your machine into must be grounded. Serious injury and/or fire may occur if this warning is ignored!

NOTICE

When using an electrical plug adapter, make sure the adapter is grounded.

•Use a cord rated for Standard Service (Grade S) rated to carry 20 amps or more

•Use a cord that is 100 feet or less

•Use a cord with a ground pin

•Use an undamaged cord only

Grounding

NEVER cut the ground pin off so your shaper plug will fit into a non-grounded receptacle. Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee the shaper is grounded. A ground source must always be verified in the electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.

Ground this machine! The electrical cord supplied with the ground wire for a grounded plug. See Figure 8. If your power receptacle does not have a ground pin hole, have the receptacle replaced by a qualified electrician, or have an appropriate adapter installed and grounded properly.

Initial Cleaning

Beginning

The exposed and unpainted shaper surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine based solutions or solvents to remove the waxy oil, or you will damage the painted surfaces. Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based degreaser before you use the shaper. Always follow all use and safety instructions of the product that you are using.

DO NOT use flammables such as gas or other petroleum-based solvents to clean your machine. These products have low flash points and present the risk of explosion and severe personal injury!

While the main components of the SHOP FOX Model W1702 are assembled at the factory, some assembly is required including shop preparation. The following is the recommended sequence best suited for final installation and assembly.

• Shop Preparation

• Fence Assembly

• Safety Guard Assembly

• Hold-Down Assembly

• Handwheel Assembly

• Spindle Installation

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a machinist’s square, 12" to 18" straightedge, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 15mm open-end wrenches and a 3mm Allen

wrench.

ASSEMBLY

DO NOT smoke while using cleaning solvents. Smoking may cause explosion or risk of fire when exposed to these products!

ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area when using solvents with fumes, and keep away from any potential ignition sources (pilot lights). Most solvents used to clean machinery are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always dispose of waste rags in a sealed container to make sure they do not cause fire or environmental hazards.

UNPLUG the power cord before you do any assembly, adjustments, or maintenance tasks! Serious personal injury to you or others may occur if this warning is ignored!

KEEP loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

WEAR your safety goggles during any assembly or maintenance. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
