Grizzly G1035 Owner's Manual page 36

All guards MUST be installed on your shaper
before operating it. Shapers are dangerous
machines that can quickly cause serious
injury if some kind of guard is not used. To
protect yourself, read and follow the entire
manual carefully and do additional research
on shop made guards and safety jigs.
To use a starting pin:
1.
DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the fence assembly.
3.
Install the appropriate cutter for your applica-
tion (see Cutter Installation on Page 27).
4. Check the cutter rotation (see Cutter Rotation
Direction on Page 26).
5.
Adjust the spindle height to align the cutter to
the workpiece.
6. Insert a starting pin (see Figure 51) into the
table surface, using the pin location that best
supports your work.

7. Use some type of hold-down fixture and
guard when doing freehand work (see Figure
52).

8. Make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
wood.
9. If everything is correct, feed your workpiece
along the cutter, using firm pressure to keep
your work against the rub collar. Only feed
against the cutter rotation.
Incorrectly feeding stock—feeding with the
rotation of the cutter—creates a potentially
uncontrollable feed situation and may pull
stock from your hands. This can result in
serious personal injury.
Sometimes the starting pin will not be in the most
advantageous position. If so, firmly clamp a board
in the desired position to act as a starting pin
(see Figure 53). Some type of pivot point must
be used. Notice in Figures 52 & 53 the operator
is not exposed to the cutting edge of the cutter.
Cutters are removing material from the bottom of
the workpiece.

needed. (Guard removed for clarity.)
