Straight Shaping - Grizzly G0900 Owner's Manual

Straight Shaping

The fence assembly is a two-piece, independently
adjustable system. When removing material from
the whole face of your workpiece, the outfeed
fence can be adjusted to provide support for the
workpiece as it passes over the cutter, or it can be
set up for partial face removal.
Attempting to operate the shaper without
proper knowledge of the machine could
cause serious injury or death! Read through
the entire manual carefully before attempt-
ing to make any cuts with your shaper.
When removing material from the entire board
face, observe the following steps:
1. Unlock both fences with lock handles (see
Figure 31).
2. Set both fences to 0" by turning micro-adjust-
ment knob counterclockwise (see
3. Lock both fences in position with lock handle.

dangerous machines that
can quickly cause serious
injury if some kind of guard
is not used. To protect
yourself, read and follow
entire instruction manual
carefully and do addition-

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.
