Model G0900 (Mfd. Since 03/20)
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.
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
Figure
31).
3.
Lock both fences in position with lock handle.
4.
Adjust infeed fence by turning fence assem-
bly adjustment knob (see
Figure
31) until
workpiece contacts cutter in desired location.
6. When cutter comes to complete stop, adjust
outfeed fence using technique used in
Steps

All guards MUST be
installed on shaper before
operating it. Shapers are
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-
al research on shop made
guards and safety jigs.
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.
5. Turn shaper ON and advance a test sample
(at least 24" long) of desired cut about 8'',
then stop. Swing test piece away from cutter
and turn machine
OFF.
