area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as
needed. Children and visitors should never be in the work area.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs.Checkwithaqualiedelectricianifyouareindoubtastowhether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering power
equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to pull the Plug
from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged
Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating the Wood Shaper. Do not use the tool while tired or under the
inuenceofdrugs,alcohol,ormedication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Use the right product for the job. Do not attempt to force small equipment to
do the work of larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications for
which this product was designed. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
and capacity for which it was designed. Do not modify this product, and do not
use this product for a purpose for which it was not designed.
4. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging

in. Plugging in power equipment with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
5. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the Wood Shaper may
result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the Wood Shaper in unexpected
situations.
7. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact
eye goggles. Dust mask or respirator, and hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the Wood Shaper. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
2. Do not use the Wood Shaper if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
3. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Wood Shaper. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools and equipment out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools and equipment are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain this product with care. Keep the Wood Shaper and its Table clean
and in proper working order. Properly maintained tools and equipment are
easier to control. Do not use damaged tools and equipment. Tag damaged tools
and equipment “Do not use” until repaired.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the Wood Shaper’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
7. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may become
hazardous when used on another product.

SERVICE
1. Toolservicemustbeperformedonlybyqualiedrepairpersonnel.Service
or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Wood Shaper. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
2. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work
before turning on the Wood Shaper.
3. Do not force the Wood Shaper. This tool will do the work better and safer at
the speed and capacity for which it was designed.
4. WARNING!Keephandsandngersawayfromthecuttingarea.Use a
“push stick” (not included) when necessary.
5. Never leave the Wood Shaper unattended when it is plugged into an
electrical outlet. Always unplug the unit from its electrical outlet before leaving.
6. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
7. Never stand on the Wood Shaper. Serious injury could result if the unit is
tipped.
8. Always unplug the Wood Shaper from its power supply source before
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
9. Keep all guards in place and in proper working order.
10. Never place your hands within 12 inches of the Cutters. Never pass your
hands directly over or in front of the Cutter. As one hand approaches the 12 inch
radius point, move it in an arc motion away from the Cutter to the outfeed side
and reposition that hand more than 12 inches beyond the Cutter.
11. Donotshapestockshorterthan12incheswithoutspecialxturesorjigs
(not included). Where practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.
SKU 95668 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 5
12. Keep the Cutters on the underside of the workpiece whenever possible.
This provides a distance guard for the operator.
13. Unplug the Wood Shaper, and always rotate the Spindle by hand to test any
new setup to ensure proper Cutter clearance before starting the Wood
Shaper.
14. When shaping contoured work and using a Rub Collar, never start shaping
at a corner. See the “Rub Collar” section further on in this manual. The danger
of kickback is increased when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it.
15. Always run warped stock through a jointer before you run it through the
Wood Shaper.
16. Keep any unused portion of the Cutter below the Table surface.
17. Never attempt to remove too much material in one pass. Several light
passes are safer and give a cleaner nish.
18. In most applications, it is recommended to use a “push stick” (not included)
as a safety device. In other situations, using a push stick can be 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. It is
recommended to use some type of xture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer
alternative.
19. Always make sure the Cutter is positioned in the correct direction before
starting the Wood Shaper, and always feed against the rotation of the
Cutter.
20. Always use the Overhead Guard when the Fence is not in place.
21. Never operate the Wood Shaper without the second Lock Nut in place over
the Spindle Nut.
22. Turn off the Wood Shaper and allow the unit to stop on its own if the
workpiece is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.
23. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Wood
Shaper while it is plugged in and running.
24. Make sure the Table is clear with the exception of the workpiece to be
shaped.
25. The Wood Shaper is designed for shaping wood workpieces only. Do not
attempt to use the Wood Shaper to cut metal or other nonwood materials.

26. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or
attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain
applications for which this tool was designed. It will do the job better and more
safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this tool, and do not
use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
27. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of
California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica
from bricks and cement or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong 1.
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the 2.
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached
to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and 3.
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration.
