Safety

Oliver Machinery has made every attempt to provide a safe, reliable, easy-to-use piece of machinery.

Safety, however, is ultimately depending on the individual machine operator. As with any piece of
machinery, the operator must exercise caution, patience, and common sense at all times to safely run the
machine.

Before operating this product, please become familiar the following safety labels and guidelines.

DANGER

This indicate an imminent dangerous hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL cause death or serious injury.

WARNING

This means if the warning is not taken seriously, it CAN cause death or serious injury.

CAUTION

This mean if the precaution is not taken, it MAY cause minor or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT

This is a tip about proper operation of the machine to avoid machine damage.

General Safety Guidelines

1. FAMILIARIZE yourself with all safety instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and

hazards associated with this machine. Do not operate / service this machine until you are properly
trained.

2. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING, when done properly, reduce the risk of electrocution, shocks and fire.

Make certain that the machine frame is electrically grounded and that a ground lead is included in the
incoming electrical service. In cases where a cord and a plug are used, make certain that the grounding
plug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure indicated in the electrical code
of your area.

3. DISCONNECT the machine from power before performing any service, maintenance, adjustments or

when changing cutters. A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used
until the maintenance is complete.

4. EYE PROTECTION: Always wear an approved safety face shield, goggles, or glasses that complies with

ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards. Common eyeglasses are not safety glasses, and may not provide
adequate protection.

5. EAR PROTECTION: Use hearing protective devices where the noise exceeds the level of exposure

allowed in Section 1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations. When in doubt, use it.

6. OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTION: Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watch and other

jewelry. Roll up sleeves above the elbows. Remove all loose outer clothing and confine long hair.
Protective type footwear should be used. Do not wear gloves unless it is instructed to perform
particular step(s) in the manual.

7. GUARDS: Keep the machine guards in place for all applicable operations. If any guards are removed

for maintenance, DO NOT OPERATE the machine until the guards are reinstalled. Check clearance
between the guards and the cutter before starting the machine.

4705 Shaper OLIVERMACHINERY.NET 15 | Page

8. WORKPLACE SAFETY: Keep the floor around the machine clean. Scrap material, saw dust, oil and other

liquids increase the risk of tripping or slipping. Be sure to clean up the table before starting the
machine. Make certain the work area is well lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to
minimize dust. Use anti-skid floor strips on the floor area where the operator normally stands and
mark off machine work area. Provide adequate work space around the machine.

9. ACCESS CONTROL should be enforced so only trained personnel can access the work area and operate

the machine. Use childproof power switch when applicable.

10. STAY ALERT at all times. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs/alcohol, or

when not feeling well.

11. REPLACEMENT PARTS: Use only genuine Oliver Machinery replacement parts and accessories

recommended for this machine. Generic parts made by other manufacturers may create a safety
hazard, and WILL void the factory warranty and other guarantees.

12. PROPER USE: Do not use this machine for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes,

Oliver disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which
may result from that use.

Safety Guidelines Specific to Shaper

Before Work Begin:

1. CHECK CUTTER QUALITY: Make sure cutters are sharp, clean, balanced and free from damages.

Forcing the dull cutter to work invites accidents, and lowers the quality of the finish.

2. CUTTER POSITIONING: Whenever possible, position the cutter below the work piece and make blind

cuts with hold-downs. Doing so reduce operator’s exposure to the cutter.

3. SECURE SPINDLE AND CUTTER: Make sure the spindle and the draw bar are tightened on the arbor.

4. Keyed Collar: Never operate the shaper without the keyed collar located immediately under the

spindle nut. This prevents the nut from coming loose when the spindle is running in a
counterclockwise direction. Do not substitute any other type washer in place of the keyed collar.

5. CHECK CUTTER CLEARANCE: Fence plates and table insert should only have enough space to clear the

cutter. Adjust fence plates and use correctly sized insert when applicable. Never start the shaper with
the workpiece touching the cutter.

6. CHECK SPINDLE SPEED AND DIRECTION before starting the machine. Never set the spindle speed

above rated RPM of the cutter. Check control panel to ensure rotation direction is set as desired.

7. CHECK STOCK LENGTH: Never shape stock less than 12 inches in length without special fixtures. When

practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.

8. SHAPE ONLY QUALITY WOOD: This machine is designed for wood products only. Do not shape any

material other than wood. Do not attempt to shape workpiece with loose knots or with any other
foreign material. Do not attempt to shape twisted, warped, bowed stock. Use a jointer to flatten the
workpiece before shaping.

16 | Page Oliver Machinery 4705 Shaper

9. COLLARS: When shaping with collars, the collar must have sufficient bearing surface. The work must

also be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut being made. Do not use short, lightweight stock when
shaping against collars.

When Shaping:

1. 12-INCH RULE: When shaping, never allow

your hands to come closer than 12 inches to
the cutters. Use push block, jigs, and hold­downs to safely feed the workpiece while
cutting.

2. NO CLIMB CUT: Feed stock opposite to the

direction of the cutter rotation. Never back
stock out of the cutter once the cut has been
started. Instead, pull the stock straight back
away from cutter and begin the cut again.

3. EDGE SHAPING: Always use the miter gauge

and clamping mechanism when edge
shaping stock less than 6" wide.

4. FREEHAND SHAPING is for advanced users

only. Always use a starting pin or pivot board
when starting a cut. Never start shaping at a
corner.

5. MAKE LIGHT PASSES: Never force the cutter

to remove too much material in one pass.
Doing so increase the risk of kickback and
lower the quality of the finish. Make several
light passes when applicable.

6. KEEP HANDS SAFE: Do not clear chips and

sawdust with hands; use a brush or
compressed air.

4705 Shaper OLIVERMACHINERY.NET 17 | Page

After Operation

1. STOP THE MACHINE if the operator leaves the machine for any reason.

2. WAIT until the cutter comes to a complete stop.

3. CLEAN UP the work area before departure.

of the fence relative to the fence housing,
with precision of 1/128”.

To read the fence position using Vernier scale:

1. Read the main scale where it is passed by the

Vernier scale’s zero. That is the coarse value.

2. Find the first mark on the Vernier scale that

lines up perfectly with any line on the main
scale. Multiply the number of that mark by
1/128”. That is the adjusted value.

3. The exact position is the sum of the coarse

value and adjusted value.

Example:

This picture shows the 3rd mark on the Vernier
scale lines up with a line on the main scale, while

the zeroth mark passed the 1/8” mark on the

main scale:

Coarse Value: 1/8”
Adjusted Value: 3 * 1/128 = 3/128”

Exact position:

1/8” + 3/128” = 19/128”

4. After setting the position of the fence and

verified safe clearance. Re-tighten the lock
handle (F).

To slide the aluminum fence sideways:

4705 Shaper OLIVERMACHINERY.NET 39 | Page

Shaping Wood

WARNING

Do not shape workpiece with loose knots or with nails or any other detachable
foreign objects. Use a jointer to flatten the workpiece before shaping.

Support long/wide boards with rollers or other devices to avoid injuries, and to
ensure a smooth, consistent finish.

Follow the “12-Inch Rule”. Keep your hands at least 12 inches away from the
cutter by using hold downs and push sticks. Use jigs when a workpiece is less than
12 inches long.

Shaping Long and Straight Pieces

Using the fence is the safest and the best way of

shaping straight pieces. Always use the fence
whenever the work permits. Depends on
situation, the infeed and outfeed fences will
need to be adjusted to properly support a
workpiece.

Case 1: Edge is partially shaped

When shaping a piece where a portion of the

original edge remains intact, both the infeed and
outfeed fences should be in line.

Case 2: Entire edge is shaped

When using the shaper for jointing work or

making a full bead, the shaped edge will not be
supported by the outfeed fence when both
fences are in line:

In this case, the outfeed fence should be adjusted

to support the work piece. With the shaper
running, move a small section of the workpiece
through the cutter.

When the workpiece entered approximately 1/3
of the outfeed fence, stop the machine. Hold the
workpiece in place, and use the micro­adjustment dial to move the outfeed fence
forward, until it makes contact with the work
piece. The outfeed fence will then be in line with
the cutting circle and supporting the workpiece.
Disengage the workpiece from cutter, and the
operation can continue.

Cross Grain Shaping

The workpiece is more likely to chip out when
shaping across grain. Using a scrap piece to
support the workpiece at the end of the cut can
mitigate this problem.

Often times cross grain shaping involves
workpieces that are narrow. If that is the case,
use the provided miter gauge or other cross cut
jigs to support the workpiece.

If all four sides of the workpiece need to be
shaped, shape the cross-grain sides first.

40 | Page Oliver Machinery 4705 Shaper

Shaping Tall Workpieces

The height of the fence is 4-3/4” tall. For shaping

tall workpieces, mounting an auxiliary fence, or
using a tenon jig, will provide addition support
and avoid accidents.

Shaping with Collars

Ensure the edge of the workpiece that rides

against the collar is smooth. Otherwise any
irregularity on that edge will be duplicated on
the shaped surface.

When shaping with collars, the collar must have

sufficient bearing surface.

The work must also be fairly heavy relative to the

cut being made. Never shape a short, light
workpiece against the collars.

The collars may be used in any of the following
positions: above, below, or between the cutters.

When the collar is used below the cutter. The
progress of the cut can be seen throughout the
operation. However, any accidental lifting of the
work will gouge the wood and ruin the workpiece.

When the collar is used above the cutter, the cut
cannot be seen, but this method offers an
advantage in that the cut is not affected by slight
variations in the thickness of the stock. Also,
accidental lifting of the workpiece will not gouge
the workpiece; simply repeat the operation to
correct the mistake.

Using the collar between two cutters has the
advantages and disadvantages of the first two
procedures, and is frequently used where both
edges of the work are to be molded.

WARNING

Freehand shaping requires precise control of the workpiece and should only be
performed by advanced users. Use the provided starting pin or a custom-made
pivot board to initiate a cut. Never start freehand shaping at a corner.

1. Mark the origin position of the set screws.

2. With a 12mm wrench, loosen four jam nuts

that secure the gib set screws.

3. Hold the set screw in position with the 4mm

hex wrench, then use a 4mm hex wrench to
tighten each set screw, 1/8 or less turn at a
time. Begin with the lowest one, followed by
the uppermost one, then the two middle set
screws.

4. If this is not enough to remove the play of

the gib, repeat the step above until the play
is removed.

NOTICE: If the gibs are too tight, the spindle
height adjustment handwheel will be
difficult to turn.

5. When adjustment is complete, hold the set

screw in position with the 4mm hex wrench
to maintain the setting while tightening the
jam nut with the 12mm wrench.
