ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can

be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live

machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an
electrician or qualified service personnel to
do electrical installation or repair work, and
always disconnect power before accessing or
exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect

machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This eliminates the risk of injury
from unintended startup or contact with live
electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

safety glasses or a face shield when operating
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.

DUST. Dust created while using

SAFETY

machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.

Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.

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!

Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!

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.

Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.

is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk

of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance

instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A

damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting

cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet

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.

SAFETY

AVOIDING CUTTER CONTACT: Keep unused por-

tion of cutter below table. Use smallest table
insert possible. Adjust fences and guards as
close as practical to cutter, or use a zero­clearance 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 work-

piece, avoid awkward hand positions. Never
pass hands directly over or in front of cutter. As
one hand approaches a 6-inch radius point from
cutter, move it in an arc motion away from cut­ter, and reposition it on the outfeed side.

FEEDING WORKPIECE: To reduce risk of acciden-

tal 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.

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.

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.

CUTTER POSITIONING: Whenever possible, make

shaping cuts with cutter on underside of work-
piece to reduce operator exposure to cutter.

SMALL WORKPIECES: There is a high risk of acci-

dental 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 maintain a safe dis­tance from cutter. When possible, shape longer
stock and cut to size.

SAFE CUTTER CLEARANCES:

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
starting shaper or reconnecting it to power.

SAFE CUTTER INSTALLATION: Improperly secured

loose. Always ensure keyed washer is directly
under spindle nut and spindle nut is tight. If
spindle does not use a keyed washer, always

BOTH are tight. 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.

CONTOUR SHAPING: To reduce risk of uninten-

tional cutter contact while freehand shaping or
using a rub collar as a guide (no fence), always

reduce kickback risk, always use starting pin or
pivot board when starting the cut. NEVER start
shaping at a corner!
