parts.
To provide additional operator protection from the spin-
ning cutter, a safety guard must be used during shaper
operation. Refer to
Figure 28
for installation of the
included safety guard, or refer
Figure 29
for an example
of a custom box guard.
Custom Box Guard
The thickness of your workpiece will determine the height
of the custom box guard. Therefore, you will need to
build a separate box guard for each different workpiece
thickness. A box guard can be used with or without a
zero-clearance fence. (Refer to
Shaping Small Stock
on
Page 33
for instructions on making a zero-clearance
fence).
The box guard attaches to the fence boards, and
should be used with hold-downs to further support the
workpiece. Construct the box guard in a way that it
extends out over the cutter area while leaving enough dis-
tance between the guard and table for the workpiece to
easily pass by the cutter.
