ing applications. One full turn of the knurled micro-

All guards MUST be
installed on your shaper
before operating it.
Shapers can quickly cause
serious injury if some kind
of guard is not used. To
reduce your risk of injury,
read and follow the entire
Owner's Manual carefully
and do additional research
on shop-made guards and
safety jigs.
Adjusting
Cutterhead Guard
To position cutterhead guard:
1. Loosen knob bolts and position guard as
needed. Tighten knob bolts to secure settings
(see
Figure 29).
The cutterhead guard (see
Figure 29) protects
the user from exposure to the cutter and chips
thrown by it. To minimize the risk of injury, the
guard must be adjusted so it encloses as much
of the spindle area as possible, while still allowing
the workpiece to pass through the cut. Typically,
this means the guard is positioned to just clear the
top of the workpiece.
