10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK.

Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13. NEVER OVERREACH.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-

AL STARTING.

Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.

Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF.

Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20. NEVER USE UNDER THE INFLUENCE of alcohol or drugs, or when tired.

21 .

NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR

UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-

ATE THE MACHINE.

Make sure any instructions you give in regards to the operation of the machine are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

G5912Z/G7214Z Heavy-Duty Shaper -3-

Additional Safety Instructions For Shapers

1.

NEVER ALLOW YOUR HANDS to come within 12 inches of the cutters. Never pass your hands directly over or in front of the cutter.

2.

BLIND CUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

This keeps the knives on the underside of the workpiece and provides a distance guard for the operator.

9.

THE USE OF PUSH STICKS as safety devices in some applications is smart; in others it can be quite dangerous. If the push stick comes in contact with the cutter on the end grain, it can fly out of your hand like a bullet—potentially causing serious injury.

We recommend using some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer alternative. Always use the guard as described in the manual.

3.

WHEN SHAPING CONTOURED WORK and using a rub collar, NEVER start out at a corner. See the “Rub Collar” instructions further on in the manual.

10. NEVER FORCE MATERIALS through the shaper. Let the cutters do the work.

Excessive force is likely to result in poor cutting results and will cause dangerous kickback conditions. 4.

WITH THE MACHINE UNPLUGGED , always rotate the spindle by hand with any new setup to ensure proper cutter clearance before starting the machine.

11. ALWAYS ensure that the cutters, fence, and spindle elevator knob have been tightened properly before beginning any operation. 5.

DO NOT SHAPE STOCK SHORTER than

12 inches without special fixtures or jigs.

Where practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.

6.

NEVER ATTEMPT to remove too much material in one pass. You are far more likely to enjoy safer and higher quality results if you allow the cutter to remove material in multiple passes.

12. ALWAYS feed the work toward the cutters in the direction opposite of the cutter rotation. Also, using and maintaining a sharp cutterhead will greatly reduce the chance of kickback.

7.

THE DANGER OF kickback is increased when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it. Warped stock should be run through a jointer before attempting to run it through a shaper.

8.

KEEP THE UNUSED PORTION of the cutter below the table surface.

13. NEVER REACH BEHIND CUTTER to grab the workpiece. Your hand may suddenly be pulled into the cutter in the event of a kickback.

14. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-

ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE

INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING

THE SHAPER!

Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

Like all power tools, there is danger associated with shapers. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

-4-

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.


SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

G5912Z Operation G7214Z Operation

The Model G5912Z Heavy-Duty Shaper is furnished with a 3450 R.P.M., 5 H.P., single-phase

220V motor, push-button ON/OFF magnetic starter switch, forward-reverse switch and a cord set. Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 25 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 30 amp circuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the shaper, contact our service department.

The shaper motor must be connected to its own dedicated 30A circuit. The shaper should not share a circuit with any other machine, and the wires in the circuit should be rated for 30A. A standard 2-pole breaker is also necessary for use with the shaper.

We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-30 plug and outlet similar to that in Figure 1A.

You may also “hard-wire” the shaper directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

H.P., three-phase

220V motor, push-button ON/OFF magnetic starter switch, forward-reverse switch and a cord set. Under normal use, the motor draws slightly over 20 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 25 amp circuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the shaper, contact our service department.

The shaper motor must be connected to its own dedicated 25 amp circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is necessary for use with the shaper.

We recommend using a NEMA-style L15-30 plug and outlet similar to that in Figure 1B.

You may also “hard-wire” the shaper directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

Three-phase electrical power is normally found only in commercial buildings and requires special care during hook-up. Three-phase installation is best done by a qualified industrial electrician.

Please contact our Customer Service if you have any questions on three-phase installations.

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing electric current a path of least resistance. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.

The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-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.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension make sure the cord is rated Hard

Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in

Section 1: Safety to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Wiring Diagram

A wiring diagram is provided at the back of this manual should it be necessary to repair or revise the wiring. Always utilize a qualified electrician when doing any electrical work on this equipment.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your machine. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes.

Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as

Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorinebased solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose to clean.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with.

They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these p r o d u c t s a r e u s e d .

Serious personal injury may occur.

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD

Your Model G5912Z/G7214Z represents a moderately large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial shop floors will be adequate for the

700/770 lb. weight of the Model G5912Z/G7214Z.

Some floors may require additional support.

Contact an architect or structural engineer if you have any question about the ability of your floor to handle the weight.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.

Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in wellventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards.


Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to children by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting, or operating equipment.

This process is easiest with the help of another person. Loosen the four bolts that attach the motor to the motor base. One person should slide the motor either up or down while the other person measures the alignment of the motor pulley and the spindle pulley with a straightedge.

5.

When the motor pulley and the spindle pulley alignment are correct, tighten the motor to the motor base.

6.

Inspect your results. If satisfactory, doublecheck that the mounting bolts are tight.

7.

You can also make small adjustments in the motor pulley alignment by raising or lowering it along the motor shaft. To do this, loosen the two setscrews (one is shown in Figure

19 ) which are in the lowest groove of the motor pulley and move the pulley into position. Tighten the setscrews when the alignment is satisfactory.


V-Belt Tension

You should be able to deflect the belt 1 ⁄

4

" with moderate finger pressure. This may seem tight compared to most other V-belts, but since the belt is small and runs fast, this amount of tension is necessary. The V-belt will slip if too loose, and will squeal or cause vibration if too tight. Adjust the tension if necessary. To adjust V-belt tension:

1.

Make sure the pulleys are properly aligned.

2.

Loosen the two motor mount plate bolts and slide the motor left or right to modify the belt tension. Keep the pulleys aligned.

3.

Tighten the motor mount plate bolts, test the tension, and check the pulleys.

4.

Repeat steps 2-3 until tension is correct and the pulleys are aligned.

Speed Changes

The Model G5912Z/G7214Z is equipped with a

V-belt drive system that controls the speeds. To change spindle speeds:

1.

Unplug the machine.

2 .

Loosen the two motor plate bolts, and slide the motor toward the spindle assembly. DO

NOT take the bolts out.

3.

Select the desired speed. There are four speeds: 3600 R.P.M., 5100 R.P.M., 8000

R.P.M., 10,000 R.P.M. Figure 20 shows the belt positions for each available speed.


Figure 20. Spindle speed adjustment.

4.

Align the belt along the appropriate pulley grooves.

5.

Slide the motor back into position and tighten the belt. When the belt is properly tensioned, there should be approximately 1 ⁄

4

" of deflection in the center of the belt when you press it with moderate pressure.

6.

Tighten all the adjusting bolts.

7.

Spin the pulley to ensure proper tracking.


Fence Adjustment

The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each fence is independently adjustable to compensate for different cutting thicknesses and special shaping applications. Without any play, one turn of the knob moves the split fence approximately 5 ⁄

64

"

(.078"). To adjust the fence:

1.

Loosen the fence lock handle.

2.

Turn the fence adjustment knob until the fence is set to the desired position.

3.

Tighten the fence lock handle.

More detailed information concerning fence adjustments is covered in the “Straight Shaping” instructions.

Aligning The Fences

The following procedure ensures that the fence is parallel with itself and square with the table.

1 .

Check that the bolts through the wood facing are tight on each side and adequately countersunk.

2.

To align the wood facing, adjust one or both fence halves so they are in close alignment.

Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a straightedge as shown in Figure 22 .

3.

If the wood fences are not parallel with each other, shim the incorrect side with electrical washers. Normal washers may work, but electrical washers allow for fine adjustments.

-18-

Figure 22. Aligning fences with straightedge.


Table Inserts

The Model G5912Z/G7214Z is supplied with two inserts which give you three possible opening diameters in the shaper table surface. Use the smallest opening that a particular cutter will allow.

This offers more support for the workpiece and reduces the amount of chips that can fall into the machine. The correct spindle opening also allows any unused portion of the cutter to remain below the table surface—increasing operator protection.

The cast iron table insert must be flush with the top of the table. To adjust the insert:

1.

Remove the three Phillips ® head screws that hold the cast iron insert in place.

2.

By using a straightedge and a screwdriver, turn the barrel screws clockwise or counterclockwise to level the larger table insert with the table. See Figure 23.

Test Run

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, inspect the machine for loose nuts, bolts, tools or any unsafe condition.

Correct as necessary and you are ready to start the machine.

DO NOT have a cutter installed when you test run the shaper. Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there is a problem. The shaper should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.

If the shaper seems to be running correctly, check the directional switch. The spindle should be rotating in a counterclockwise direction when the switch is in the FORWARD position. Run the

Model G5912Z/G7214Z for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration. If any problem develops, correct it before attempting to use the machine.

If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises, immediately contact our service department for help.


Figure 23. Leveling table insert.

3.

Inspect the table insert with the straightedge from both side-to-side and front-to-back to ensure it is flush with the table. Replace and secure the Phillips ® head screws.

Never use the Model G5912Z/G7214Z for applications other than those for which it was intended. DO NOT overload the machine or use excessive force when shaping materials. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur.


SECTION 6: OPERATION

Rotation

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.


Your shaper is equipped with a

FORWARD/REVERSE switch as shown in

Figure 24. In many instances, you will find it necessary 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 rotation before beginning any shaping operation.

Wear safety glasses during all operations on the shaper. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a dust mask when operating the shaper. Using this machine produces sawdust which may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.

NOTICE

The following section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this shaper. However, it is in no way comprehensive 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 formal training to maximize the potential of your shaper.

-20-

Figure 24. FORWARD/REVERSE switch.

NOTICE

This machine was designed to be started and stopped with the START/STOP buttons—not the reversing switch.


Cutter Installation

Your shaper operates at speeds of 3600, 5100,

8000 and 10,000 R.P.M. 3 1 ⁄

2

" or larger cutters must be operated at the slowest speed.

Always use the largest spindle size possible, and never use more than one bushing size to gain two spindle sizes. ”Stacking” two cutter bushings to decrease the inside diameter of the cutter will cause the cutter to perform incorrectly when placed under a load.

To install a cutter:

1.

Unplug the shaper.

2.

Place an appropriate spacer or collar at the base of the spindle for support.

3.

Place the cutter on the spindle. Make sure the rotation is correct for your application.

4.

Use spacers or collars to suit your particular application.

5.

Place the spindle washer under the nut.

Screw on the nut and locknut.

6.

Tighten the nuts while holding the spindle stationary. Use a wrench on the notches at the top of the spindle for leverage as shown in Figure 25.

Always use a spindle lock nut during operation. If this warning is ignored, the cutter may fly off the spindle during use and cause severe personal injury.

Figure 25. Tightening spindle nuts.



Spindle Height

To adjust the cutter height:

1.

Loosen the spindle lock shown in Figure 26.

2.

Move the spindle up or down with the handwheel until the desired position is obtained.

3.

Lock the spindle into position.

Straight Shaping

Read the entire manual before making any cuts with your shaper.

Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational information is not understood or followed.

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. The outfeed fence can also be set in-line for partial face removal.

If removing material from the whole face, observe the following steps:

1.

Loosen the locking handles shown in Figure

26 that hold the fences in place.

Figure 26. Location of spindle lock.

NOTICE

The lock knob keeps the spindle in a fixed position during shaper operation. Do not over-tighten the lock knob. A snug fit is all that is needed to keep the spindle from moving during shaper use.

-22-


Figure 26. Location of fence locking handles.

2.

Adjust the infeed fence by turning the adjustment knobs until the workpiece contacts the cutter in the desired location.

3.

Lock the infeed fence in position with the locking handle. Use a test piece to determine the best setting.


4.

Loosen the mounting screws on the fence faces and set the face ends to barely clear the cutter. This allows the maximum support possible for the workpiece while passing the cutter. Remember to tighten the wood facing before starting the shaper.

5.

A test sample of the desired cut should be advanced about 8'' then stopped.

6.

Once the shaper is turned off and the cutter has come to a complete stop, adjust the outfeed fence to support the new profiled edge.

See Figure 27.

4.

Run a test piece through the shaper as shown in Figure 28.

Figure 28. Fence adjustment for blind cuts.

5.

Always cut the end grain first when putting an edge around the perimeter of your workpiece. See Figure 29.

Figure 27. Fence adjusted to support workpiece.

If the face of the workpiece will only be partially removed, observe the following steps:

1.

Adjust the infeed fence to approximately 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 the ends barely clear the cutter. This allows the maximum support possible for the workpiece while passing the cutter. Remember to tighten down the wood facing before starting the shaper.

Figure 29. Fence adjustment for multiple cuts.


Rub Collars

Rub collars are used when shaping curved or irregular workpieces, such as arched doors or round table tops. Rub collars also limit the depth of your cut.

There are two types of rub collars—solid and ballbearing. We recommend against the use of solid rub collars. Grizzly carries an extensive line of ball bearing rub collars designed for use with

Grizzly shapers. See the current catalog for listings.

Rub collars may be used in any of the following positions:

1.

Rub collar below the cutter: When the rub collar is used below the cutter as shown in

Figure 30, the progress of the cut can be observed. However, any unintentional movement may lift the workpiece into the cutter, damaging your work and creating a dangerous situation.

2.

Above the cutter: When the rub collar is used above the cutter as seen in Figure 31 , the cut cannot be seen. This offers some advantage: the stock is not affected by slight variations in thickness and accidental lifting will not damage the workpiece. If lifting occurs, simply correct the mistake by repeating the operation.

Figure 31. Rub collar installed above cutter.

3.

Between two cutters: Using a rub collar between two cutters, as in Figure 32 , has the distinct advantage of performing two cuts at once or eliminating the need to change cutters for two different operations. Notice that part of the edge is left uncut. The uncut portion rides on the rub collar.

Figure 30. Rub collar installed below cutter.

Whenever the cutterhead is above the workpiece, or you can see cutterhead spinning during use, you must take extreme caution to keep your hands away from the cutterhead. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury.

-24-

Figure 32. Rub collar between two cutters.


Pattern Work

When using a pattern, the rub collar can be positioned either above, below or between cutters.

The pattern is usually used when the entire edge is to be shaped or when many duplicate pieces are needed. Pattern work is particularly useful when rough cutting irregular or oversize pieces and then shaping the edge in a simple two-step operation. A pattern can be incorporated into a jig by way of adding toggle clamps, hand holds or other safety devices.

You have greater flexibility when choosing the correct diameter rub collar for pattern work than for non-pattern work. If you look at Figure 32, you will notice that the position of the pattern determines the depth of cut. In other words, your pattern size is dependent upon the interrelationship of the cutting circle, the desired amount of material removed, and the rub collar size. Changing one or more of these will change the amount of material removed. Planning ahead, you can most effectively decide which rub collars are best suited for your application.

Rub Collar

2.

Make the jig stable, using proven methods and materials, and fasten the hand holds for operator comfort and safety.

3.

Secure your workpiece on the three sides that will not be cut with toggle clamps, or fasten the workpiece to the jig with wood screws.

4.

Ensure that clamps and hidden screws do not come into contact with the cutter.

5.

Design your jig so that all cutting occurs underneath the workpiece as shown in

Figure 33 . Notice the operator is not exposed to the cutting edge of the cutter!

6.

Always consider the cutting circle and rub collar diameter for the correct cutting depth when designing your pattern.

7.

Make sure the workpiece rests flat on the table, not on the fixture.

Pattern

Workpieces must be solid, stable, and secured to the jig; or kickback may occur, causing personal injury.

Figure 32. Rub collar determines depth of cut.

When making a pattern jig here are a few things to consider:

1.

Build your jig from a material that will smoothly follow the rub collar or fence.


Workpiece fits here

Figure 33. Pattern jig for making curved pieces.

Irregular or freehand shaping takes a high degree of skill and dexterity. The fence assembly is not used during irregular shaping, so rub collars must be used. Also, unless your jig is designed to touch the rub collar before contacting the blade, a starting fixture must be used to begin your cut.

-25-

About starting fixtures:

The purpose of the starting fixture is to support the workpiece during the beginning of the cut.

The workpiece is typically placed in the starting position using the starting fixture for support,

Then swung into the cutter while holding the workpiece firmly against the starting fixture. After the cut has been started, the work is swung away from the starting fixture and is supported only by the rub collar.

Always feed against the rotation of the cutter and do not start cuts at corners.

To use your pattern jig:

1.

Remove the fence assembly. Choose the appropriate cutter and rub collar for your application and lock them in place. Secure your workpiece to the pattern jig.

2.

Check cutter rotation, and adjust the spindle height to align the cutter to your workpiece.

Clamp a starting fixture to the table surface, using the location that best supports your work.

3.

If everything is correct and the cutter is tight.

Turn the shaper on.

4.

Place your jig/workpiece against the starting fixture. Using firm pressure, pivot the workpiece into the cutter and make sure the jig is touching the rub collar. Keep your jig in contact with the rub collar and slowly follow the pattern, moving against the cutter rotation.

Freehand Shaping

Freehand methods are one of the most dangerous operations performed on a shaper.

Although this machine is capable of performing freehand operations, we do not recommend that you attempt to do so. If you MUST perform freehand operations, get formal training and read a book that details freehand operations, their inherent dangers, and ways to avoid those dangers!

Shaper Accessories

There are many accessories that can be built or purchased to increase the safety of the operator.

Many experienced shaper users regularly use proven shop-made fences and safety guards to augment their shaping operations. In addition, many production shops routinely use power feeders with their shapers to streamline their operations.

Here are some basic accessories and their uses:

• Zero Clearance Fence — A shop-made fence with an opening only as large as the cutter, so that only the part of the cutter being used is exposed.

• Box Fence — A shop-made box that completely surrounds the cutter. A one-piece fence is attached that allows only the thickness of the board to pass underneath, thereby completely shielding the operator from exposure to the spinning cutter. A clear plexiglass window on top of the box allows the operator to view the workpiece during cutting.

• Power Feeder — A motorized unit that can be clamped or permanently mounted to the table of a shaper. A power feeder pulls the workpiece through the cut, reducing the risk of operator contact with the spinning cutter and reducing any injuries due to kickback.

Because of the steady feed rate, power feeders can also produce cleaner, more consistent cuts. Check the current Grizzly catalog for available power feeders.

Because of the wide range of fences and guards that can be built in the shop, explaining their construction is beyond the scope of this manual. We strongly recommend that you read shaper books, trade magazines, or get formal training to learn more about these.
