Short stock – Never shape stock less than 12
inches in length without special fixtures. Where
practic al, shape longer stoc k and c ut to size.
12 inch rule – When shaping, never allow your
hands to come closer than 12 inches to the
cutters.
Hand safety – Never pass the hands directly
over, or in front of, the c utters (Figure A). As one
hand approaches the 12 i nch radius point , remove
it (or the push stick) in an arc motion and
reposition hands 12 i nc hes beyond t he c utters.
Blind cut – W hen blind cutting, t he workpiece i s
positioned on t op of the template. This keeps the
cutter(s) cutting only the underside of the
workpiece and prov ides a "distanc e" guard f or the
operator.
Cutter Clearance – W ith the power disconnect ed,
always rotate the spindle by hand with any new
set-up to ensure pr oper c learance wit h the cutters.
At the same tim e, check to be sure the c utt erhead
is turning in the cor r ect dir ec tion.
Stock feed – Feed stock opposi te to the di recti on
of the cut ter rot ation (Figur e B). Nev er back stock
out of the cutter once the cut has been started.
Instead, pull the stock straight out away from
cutter and begin the cut again.
Guide pin – Whenever possibl e, use a guide pin
when performing pattern shaping and collar
shaping operations.
Tool maintenance – Clean and sharp t ools give
safer and better performance. Dull tools can
cause kickbacks and excessive chatter. Before
making a cut, always check the condition and
adjustment of the tools. Never use a tool that is
not balanced and rated for the selected RPM.
Spindle speed – Do not o perate tools at speeds
higher than rated by the manufacturer.
Cutter selection – Use only those cutters
designed to be used on the m achine, and mount
only safety type c utt er s on the spi ndle.
Stock condition – The danger of kicked-back
stock can occur when the stock ha s knots, hole s,
or foreign objec ts such as nails. Warped or in-wind
stock should f ir st be joi nt ed on one surf ac e bef ore
attempting to use it on the shaper.

Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly ground ed to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
General Information
A power plug is not provided with the Model
JWS-25X. You may either connect the proper
UL/CSA listed plug or “hardwire” the machine
directly to your el ectrical panel provi ded there is
a disconnect near t he machi ne for the operator.
Consult electrical drawings on page 43 for
further clarification of wiring setup.
This machine must be grounded. Grounding
provides a path of least resistance t o help divert
current away from the operator in case of
electrical malfunction.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specif ications on the m otor pl ate of
the machine.
Extens ion Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, mak e sure t he
cord rati ng is suitabl e for t he amper age listed on
the machine's motor plate. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in l oss
of power and overheating.
The chart i n Table 1 shows the correct size cord
to use based on cord length and motor plate
amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the c or d.
