G8621 Heavy-Duty Sliding Table Shaper -23-
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Figure 30. FORWARD/REVERSE switch.
Rotation
Your shaper is equipped with a
FORWARD/REVERSE switch as shown in
Figure 30. In many instances, you will need to flip
the cutter over and reverse cutter rotation.
Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the
board is milled on the bottom side. This method
does a better job and is safer for the operator.
Always check the direction of cutter rota-
tion before beginning any shaping opera-
tion, and always feed the work against the
direction of the cutter rotation.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing all operations on the
shaper. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Always wear a dust
mask when operating
the shaper. Using this
machine produces saw-
dust which may cause
allergic reactions or res-
piratory problems.
NOTICE
This machine was designed to be started
and stopped with the ON/OFF buttons—not
the reversing switch.
NOTICE
The following section was designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of this
shaper. However, it is in no way compre-
hensive of every shaper application. There
are many different jigs that can be built to
increase safety, accuracy, and types of
cuts. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that
you read books, trade magazines, or get for-
mal training to maximize the potential of
your shaper.
