7. Feeding the Piece Part. ALWAYS feed the piece part against the rotation of the cutter. NEVER force materials through the shaper. Excessive force against the shaper cutter will cause dangerous kickback conditions and can result in poor cuts. 8. Hand Positioning. NEVER place hands directly over or in front of the shaper cutter. ALWAYS keep hand at least 6”...
Page 13
24. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. DO NOT let them handle machines, tools, or extension cords. 25. DO NOT operate machine if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions. If there is any doubt, DO NOT operate the machine. 26.
SAFETY: SPECIFIC RULES READ THE MANUAL. Know the limitations and hazards in using the shaper. One SAFETY rule decal and one DANGER decal are placed on each machine as reminders of good safety practice. SHORT STOCK. Never shape stock less than 12 inches in length without special fixtures. Where practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.
Page 15
SPINDLE SPEED. Do not operate tools at speeds higher than rated by the manufacturer. CUTTER SELECTION. Use only those cutters designed to be used on the machine, and mount only safety type cutters on the spindle. STOCK CONDITION. The danger of kicked back stock can occur when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects such as nails.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children and animals.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced. Guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley: ...
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine: Overall weight of the machine. Weight of material being processed. Sizes of material to be processed through the machine. Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery. ...
ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
ADJUSTMENTS Check all mounting screws and bolts to see that they are tight. CAUTION: When changing tools, adjusting the drive belt, or doing cleanup and maintenance, always turn the machine off and unplug the machine from its power source. SQUARING THE FENCE Periodically the wood fence will have to be squared with the mounting surface and adjusted parallel to each other.
CHANGING SPINDLE The shaper is supplied with both 3/4” and 1’ and 1 1/4” spindle assemblies. These assemblies are locked in a tapered seat with a draw bar and nut. To change spindles, place one wrench on the flats on the top of the spindle and another wrench on the draw bar nut underneath the spindle drive sheave as shown in Figure 8.
BEFORE OPERATING Turn the motor on momentarily to check for proper rotation. The spindle should rotate counterclockwise when looking down on the spindle. Correct as required. Run the machine for a short period of time to insure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration.
GRAIN DIRECTION Plan to shape the work piece in the same direction as the grain when possible. Some open grain woods (such as redwood, fir, and oak) will leave a rough, or slightly splintered edge when cut against the grain. DANGER: Deep cuts require excessive horsepower and pushing force to control the cut.
3. Reconnect power to the machine. 4. Take a trial cut on a piece of scrap of the same thickness as work piece. Note: Only a short cut is necessary to determine if the profile, depth, and height of cut is correct. 5.
END SHAPING WARNING: End shaping a narrow workpiece without a special guide could result in the workpiece rocking into the cutterhead causing minor, or major, personal injury. When end shaping narrow stock, it is important that at least one half of the workpiece end be in contact with either the infeed or outfeed fence as shown in Figure 15.
STRAIGHTLINE BEVEL EDGE SHAPING To perform a bevel edge cut, the infeed edge of the jig is placed against the infeed fence and clamped to the table, as shown in Figure 18. The outfeed fence is moved forward as necessary to compensate for the cut.
Page 29
Note: Since the collar requires at least 1/8" of surface edge to ride against, the entire edge cannot be shaped as shown in Figure 21. The use of a pattern, however, permits the shaping of the entire contour edge. If the workpiece is to be shaped all around the perimeter, hold it firmly and push the work straight into the cutter until the depth of cut is established by the collar as shown in Figure 22.
Page 30
Large circular and arc-shaped stock can be shaped as described under “CONTOUR EDGE SHAPING”; however, small sized stock requires the use of special shaping jigs similar to those shown in Figure 24 and 25. With the entire fence assembly removed, carefully position the jig for desired depth of cut and securely clamp to the table.
ENCLOSED EDGE SHAPING WARNING: Enclosed edge shaping is extremely dangerous. The operator must be aware at all times of the direction of feed. WARNING: Unless the workpiece is attached to a larger wooden base, NEVER perform enclosed edge shaping if there is less than 12” of workpiece material all around the opening.
TEMPLATES The template, which is usually made of 3/4” scrap material, must be thick enough to provide a solid bearing edge against a collar. When constructing a template similar to the one shown in Figure 28, keep in mind that it serves only as a guide for the cutter.
In many situations the workpiece is positioned against the template using dowels as anchor points and handles (wood blocks) to assist the operator in guiding the workpiece through the cut as shown in Figure 31. HORIZONTAL TOGGLE CLAMP The horizontal toggle clamp, similar to those illustrated in Figure 32, is especially useful when ordinary “C”...
SASH AND DOOR SHAPING Shaping a door still requires two operations. Figure 33 shows the sash cut for the first operation. Figure 34 shows the stock flipped over and the sash cutter used with a 1/4" groove cutter to complete the cut. Figure 35 shows the first shaping cut with the sash cutter for the matching door stile sash.
Figure 37 shows the first shaping out for a window-sash stile utilizing a sash cutter, collar, collar, and a 1/2" groove cutter. Figure 38 shows both cuts required for a window-sash rail end. The first operation at top is a rabbet cut made with a groove cutter.
TAPER CUTS OFFSETTING THE FENCES CAUTION: Do not use the standard fence for short work (12 inches or less in length on the side to be cut). Instead, use a miter gauge or special fixture to avoid losing control of the workpiece. Taper cuts can be made by offsetting the fences for the amount of taper desired, or with a layout line on the stock which can be made parallel to the infeed fence as shown in...
TENONING The tenoning fixture illustrated in Figure 43 shows a miter gauge equipped with a hold down for shaping the ends of narrow workpieces. The miter gauge can also be adapted to cut square and centered tenons at the ends of legs for tables, chairs, etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Trouble Possible cause Solution 1. Shaper not plugged in 1. Plug in shaper 2. Fuse blown or circuit breaker 2. Replace fuse or reset circuit Shaper will not start tripped breaker 3.
