Safety Instructions for Machinery

SECTION 1: SAFETY

-8-

G0608X Extreme Series Tilting Spindle Shaper

DISCONNECTING POWER SUPPLY. Always

disconnect machine from power supply before

servicing, adjusting, or changing cutting tools

(bits, blades, cutters, etc.). Make sure switch is

in OFF position before reconnecting to avoid an

unexpected or unintentional start.

INTENDED USE. Only use the machine for its

intended purpose and only use recommended

accessories. Never stand on machine, modify

it for an alternative use, or outfit it with non-

approved accessories.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement

during operations greatly increases the risk of

injury and loss of control. Verify machines are

stable/secure and mobile bases (if used) are

locked before starting.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.

It will do the job safer and better at the rate for

which it was designed.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers can

protect you from accidental contact with mov-

ing parts or flying debris. Make sure they are

properly installed, undamaged, and working

correctly before using machine.

REMOVING TOOLS. Never leave adjustment

tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in or on

machine—especially near moving parts. Verify

removal before starting!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times when operating

machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward

hand positions that make workpiece control dif-

ficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use

machinery in wet locations, cluttered areas,

around flammables, or in poorly-lit areas. Keep

work area clean, dry, and well lighted to mini-

mize risk of injury.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

APPROVED OPERATION. Untrained operators

can be seriously hurt by machinery. Only allow

trained or properly supervised people to use

machine. When machine is not being used, dis-

connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out

machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially

around children. Make workshop kid proof!

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children

and bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Stop using machine if children or bystand-

ers become a distraction.

FEED DIRECTION. Unless otherwise noted, feed

work against the rotation of blades or cutters.

Feeding in the same direction of rotation may pull

your hand into the cut.

SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use

clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured

workpiece protects hands and frees both of them

to operate the machine.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave

machine running while unattended. Turn machine

Off and ensure all moving parts completely stop

before walking away.

MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION. A machine that

is not properly maintained may operate unpre-

dictably. Follow all maintenance instructions and

lubrication schedules to keep machine in good

working condition. Regularly inspect machine for

loose bolts, alignment of critical parts, binding, or

any other conditions that may affect safe opera-

tion. Always repair or replace damaged or mis-

adjusted parts before operating machine.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time

you are experiencing difficulties performing the

intended operation, stop using the machine!

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.

SMALL WORKPIECES: There is a high risk of

accidental cutter contact with small workpieces,

because they are closer to cutter and more diffi-

cult to control. To reduce your risk, only feed small

workpieces using jigs or holding fixtures that allow

your 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 cut-

ter contacts fence, guard, or table insert upon

startup. Always ensure any new 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

spindle nut and spindle nut is tight. If spindle does

not use a keyed washer, always use two spindle

nuts together, and ensure BOTH are tight. 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 direc-

tion of cutter rotation before starting, and always

feed workpiece AGAINST cutter rotation.

SAFETY GUARDS. To reduce risk of unintention-

al contact with cutter, always ensure included cut-

ter guard, or a properly dimensioned box guard, or

some other type of guard is installed and correctly

positioned before operation.

CONTOUR SHAPING: To reduce risk of unin-

tentional cutter contact while freehand shaping

or using a rub collar as a guide, always use an

overhead or “ring” type guard. To reduce kickback

risk, always use starting pin or pivot board when

starting the 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 a 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 a 6-inch radius point from

cutter, move it in an arc motion away from cutter,

and reposition it on the outfeed side.

FEEDING WORKPIECE: To reduce risk of acci-

dental cutterhead contact, always use push blocks

or some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device

to safely feed workpiece while cutting. Use an

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 work-

piece contacting cutter!

CUTTING DEPTH: Never attempt to remove too

much material in one pass. Doing this increases

risk of workpiece kickback. Instead, make sev-

eral light passes—this is a safer way to cut and it

leaves a cleaner finish.

WORKPIECE CONDITION: Shaping a 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” a workpiece before

shaping or flatten workpiece edges with a 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.

Additional Safety for Shapers

Circuit Requirements

We recommend connecting your machine to a

dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for

the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit

breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher

amperage without consulting a qualiﬁed electri-

cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If

you are unsure about the wiring codes in your

area or you plan to connect your machine to a

shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

G0608X 220V 3-Phase ...........................30 Amp

Minimum Cord Requirements

For 220V connection, we recommend using a

stranded-copper ﬂexible cord that meets the mini-

mum criteria listed below, does not exceed 50 ft.,

and has an insulation type that starts with "S."

The exact insulation type should account for any

exposure to moisture, heat, and oils in the working

environment. A qualiﬁed electrician should deter-

mine the best cord to use in your environment.

For 440V connection, the electrician who hard-

wires the machine will determine the appropriate

wire to use inside the conduit.

440V Connection to Power

Have a qualified electrician hardwire this machine

to a dedicated locking shut-off switch that is con-

nected to the main power source.

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding

wire in the power cord must be properly connect-

ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise,

the outlet must be properly installed and ground-

ed. All electrical connections must be made in

accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Electrocution or fire could

result if this machine is

not grounded correctly

or if your electrical con-

figuration does not com-

ply with local and state

We do not recommend the use of extension cords.

Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment

and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for

extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-

sion cord with your machine, the extension cord

must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

Use at least a 10 gauge cord that does not exceed

50 feet in length!

440V Operation

Do not use an extension cord with 440V! The

machine must be permanently hardwired in place

by a qualified electrician.
