The fence may not always be perfectly paral-
lel to miter slot; therefore, using miter gauge
can cause binding and possible kickback of
workpiece towards operator. DO NOT use
miter gauge to feed material along fence
face when straight shaping. Use a push
stick and hold-downs to keep workpiece in
position.

Turn the shaper ON and advance a 36" or
longer test sample of the desired cut about
8'', then stop. Swing the test piece away from
the cutter and turn the machine OFF.

When the cutter comes to a complete stop,
adjust the outfeed fence to support the new
profiled edge. Lock the outfeed fence into

Attempting to operate the shaper without
proper knowledge of the machine could
cause serious injury or death! Read through
the entire manual carefully before attempting
to make any cuts with your shaper.
When shaping straight stock, use the fence

1.
Install an appropriate cutter onto spindle.
2.
Check the cutter rotation.
3.
Adjust the spindle height for the desired cut.
4.
Lock spindle height into position with the
spindle elevation lock.
5.
Position the fences for your desired depth-of-
cut.

Position the hold-down or other safety device
(see Figures 24–25), and put on safety
glasses and dust mask/respirator.
