Additional Shaper Safety
Small Workpieces: There is a high risk of
accidental cutter contact with small
workpieces, because they are closer to cutter
and more difficult to control. To reduce
risk, only feed small workpieces using jigs
or holding fixtures that allow hands to stay
safely away from cutter. When possible,
shape longer stock and cut to size.
Safe Cutter Clearances: Operator or bystanders
may be hit by flying debris if cutter contacts
fence, guard, or table insert upon startup.
Always ensure any cutter setup has proper
cutter rotational clearance before startup.
Safe Cutter Installation: Improperly secured
knives/inserts, cutters, or rub collars may
become dangerous projectiles if they come
loose. Always ensure keyed washer is
directly under cap screw and cap screw is
very secure. If spindle does not use a keyed
washer, always tighten two spindle nuts
together, and ensure BOTH are very secure.
Never use cutters/bits rated for an RPM
lower than spindle speed.
Avoiding Climb Cuts: Feeding workpiece in
same direction of cutter rotation is a “climb
cut.” Climb cutting can aggressively pull
workpiece—and hands—into cutter. Always
first verify direction of cutter rotation
before starting, and always feed workpiece
AGAINST cutter rotation.
Cutting Depth: Never attempt to remove too
much material in one pass. Doing this
increases risk of kickback. Instead, make
several light passes—this is a safer way to
cut and it leaves a cleaner finish.
Contour Shaping: To reduce risk of unintentional
cutter contact while freehand shaping
or using rub collar as guide, always use
overhead or “ring” type guard. To reduce
kickback risk, always use starting pin or
pivot board when starting cut. NEVER start
shaping at a corner!
Avoiding Cutter Contact: Keep unused portion of
cutter below table. Use smallest table insert
possible. Adjust fences and guards as close
as practical to cutter, or use zero-clearance
fence or box guard. Always keep some type
of guard or other protective device between
your hands and cutter at all times!
Protect Hands/Fingers:
While feeding workpiece,
avoid awkward hand positions. Never pass
hands directly over, or in front of, cutter.
As one hand approaches 6-inch radius point
from cutter, move it in arc motion away from
cutter, and reposition it on outfeed side.
Feeding Workpiece: To reduce risk of accidental
cutterhead contact, always use push blocks
or some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down
device to safely feed workpiece while
cutting. Use outfeed support table if shaping
long workpieces to ensure proper support
throughout entire cutting procedure.
ALWAYS feed workpiece AGAINST
rotation of cutter. NEVER start shaper with
workpiece contacting cutter!
Safety Guards: To reduce risk of unintentional
contact with cutter, always ensure included
cutter guard, or properly dimensioned
box guard, or some other type of guard is
installed and correctly positioned before
operation.
Workpiece Condition: Shaping workpiece with
knots, holes, or foreign objects increases
risk of kickback and cutter damage/
breakage. Thoroughly inspect and prepare
workpiece before shaping. Always “square
up” workpiece before shaping or flatten
workpiece edges with jointer or planer.
Rough, warped, or wet workpieces increase
risk of kickback.
Cutter Positioning: Whenever possible, make
shaping cuts with cutter on underside of
workpiece to reduce operator exposure to
cutter.
Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutter.
Cutters or other parts improperly secured to spindle can fly off and strike nearby operators with
great force. Flying debris can cause eye injuries or blindness. To minimize risk of getting hurt or
killed, anyone operating shaper MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
