This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation, electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use. This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization, proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains 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, cement and 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 filter out microscopic particles.

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.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance

instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect

machine for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

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!

This machine must be connected to the correct size and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage may occur. Read through this section to determine if an adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install one before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the fullload current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:
