The miter gauge should not be used to feed
material along the fence face when edge
shaping. Use a push stick and hold-downs
to keep the workpiece in position. The fence
may not always be perfectly parallel to the
miter slot; therefore, using the miter gauge
can cause binding and possible kickback of
the workpiece towards the operator. Serious
personal injury could occur if this happens.
If the face of the workpiece will only be par-
tially removed, observe the following steps:
1.
Adjust the infeed fence approximately to the
desired depth of cut. Lock the infeed fence in
place.
2.
Use a straightedge to adjust the outfeed
fence to the same plane as the infeed fence.
Lock the outfeed fence in place.
3.
Set the right and left wood faces so they
barely clear the cutter. This allows the maxi-
mum support possible for the workpiece when
passing the cutter. Remember to tighten the
wood facing before starting the shaper.
4. Turn the shaper ON.
5.
Run a test piece through the shaper
(see Figure 43).

The sound of this machine when it is run-
ning may be less than that of other devices
such as a dust collector, which may be run-
ning at the same time. Because of this, it
may be difficult to determine if the machine
is ON merely by listening. It is neces-
sary to make certain that this machine is
OFF before attempting any setup or adjust-
ments. Otherwise, serious personal injury
could occur.
Always cut the end grain first when putting an
edge around the perimeter of your workpiece
to minimize tearout (see Figure 44).
