SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire operation
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Keep loose clothing out
of the way of machin-
ery and keep hair pulled
back during operations.
Disconnect power from
the machine when per-
forming any maintenance,
assembly or adjustments.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal
injury.
Always wear a respi-
rator
this shaper. Using this
machine produces saw-
dust that may cause short
and long-term respira-
tory illness.
NOTICE
The following section was designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of
this shaper. However, it is in no way com-
prehensive of every shaper application.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you
read books, trade magazines, or get formal
training to maximize the potential of your
shaper.

operating
Shaper Cutters or
Router Bits?
Shaper Cutters
Pros—Shaper cutters are larger, more durable
and generally last longer than router bits. If you
plan on cutting many linear feet of a certain pro-
file, then shaper cutters are the best choice.
Cons—Shaper cutters are more expensive than
router bits and are generally larger, which makes
them less compatible for small projects.
The Model G0510Z is ready to use shaper cutters
when shipped. If you plan on using shaper cut-
ters with your shaper, skip to Page 18 and read
Installing Cutters.
Router Bits
Pros—Router bits are much cheaper than shaper
cutters and come in a wider range of profiles and
sizes. If you plan on making smaller projects that
do not require many linear feet of cutting, then
router bits are the best choice.
Cons—Router bits are not as durable as shaper
cutters, and because of their small size, they
lend themselves better to the faster speeds of a
router.
If you plan to use router bits in your shaper, you
must first convert the shaper to a router table.
Refer to the Router Table Conversion instruc-
tions on Page 30 to learn how to do this.
