of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when

distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can

be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live

electrical components or improperly grounded

machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an

electrician or qualified service personnel to

do electrical installation or repair work, and

always disconnect power before accessing or

exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect

machine from power supply BEFORE making

adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing

machine. This eliminates the risk of injury

from unintended startup or contact with live

electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

safety glasses or a face shield when operating

or observing machinery to reduce the risk of

eye injury or blindness from flying particles.

Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety

glasses.

Standard Machinery Safety Instructions

For Your Own Safety,

Read Manual Before Operating Machine

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This

manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the

safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by

themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-

sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!

SAFETY

Standard Machinery Safety Instructions

-8-

Model W1701 (Mfg. Since 10/16)

SAFETY

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become

entangled in moving parts. Always tie back

or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to

avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss

of workpiece control.

HAZARDOUS

DUST. Dust created while using

machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,

or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of

dust hazards associated with each workpiece

material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved

respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION.

Always wear hearing

protection when operating or observing

loud machinery. Extended exposure to this

noise without hearing protection can cause

permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.

Tools left on

machinery can become dangerous projectiles

upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,

wrenches, or any other tools on machine.

Always verify removal before starting!

INTENDED USAGE.

Only use machine for its

intended purpose—never make modifications

without prior approval from Woodstock

International. Modifying machine or using

it differently than intended will void the

warranty and may result in malfunction or

mechanical failure that leads to serious

personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS.

Keep proper footing and

balance at all times when operating machine.

Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand

positions that make workpiece control difficult

or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.

Keep children and

bystanders at a safe distance from the work

area. Stop using machine if they become a

distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS.

Guards and covers reduce

accidental contact with moving parts or flying

debris—make sure they are properly installed,

undamaged, and working correctly.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It

will do the job safer and better at the rate for

which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may

occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting

tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during

operation greatly increases risk of injury or

loss of control. Before starting, verify machine

is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for

recommended accessories. Using improper

accessories will increase risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk

of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and

ensure all moving parts completely stop

SAFETY

Additional Safety for Shapers

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.

CUTTER POSITIONING: Whenever possible, make

shaping cuts with cutter on underside of work-

piece to reduce operator exposure to cutter.

SMALL WORKPIECES: There is a high risk of acci-

dental cutter contact with small workpieces,

because they are closer to cutter and more dif-

ficult to control. To reduce your risk, only feed

small workpieces using jigs or holding fixtures

that allow your hands to maintain a safe dis-

tance 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

starting shaper or reconnecting it to power.

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 work-

piece—and hands—into cutter. Always first ver-

ify direction of cutter rotation before starting,

and always feed workpiece AGAINST cutter

rotation.

CONTOUR SHAPING: To reduce risk of uninten-

tional cutter contact while freehand shaping or

using a rub collar as a guide (no fence), 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 por-

tion 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 work-

piece, 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 cut-

ter, and reposition it on the outfeed side.

FEEDING WORKPIECE: To reduce risk of acciden-

tal 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 through-

out entire cutting procedure. ALWAYS feed

workpiece AGAINST rotation of cutter. NEVER

start shaper with workpiece 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 work-

piece before shaping or flatten workpiece

edges with a jointer or planer. Rough, warped,

or wet workpieces increase risk of kickback.

SAFETY GUARDS. To reduce risk of unintentional

contact with cutter, always ensure included

cutter guard, or a properly dimensioned box

guard, or some other type of guard is installed

and correctly positioned before operation.

ELECTRICAL

Circuit Requirements

This machine must be connected to the correct size and

type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage

may occur. Read through this section to determine if an

adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct

circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install

one before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment

between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building

and the machine. The power supply circuit used for

this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-

load current drawn from the machine for an extended

period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit

protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Circuit Requirements for 120V (Prewired)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply

circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following

requirements:

Circuit Type .............. 110V/115V/120V, 60 Hz, 1-Phase

Circuit Size ............................................. 20 Amps

Plug/Receptacle .................................... NEMA 5-15

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine

draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines

with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the

largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices

that might operate at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Current Rating at 120V .................. 15 Amps

The machine must be properly set up

before it is safe to operate. DO NOT

connect this machine to the power

source until instructed to do so later in

this manual.

Incorrectly wiring or grounding this

machine can cause electrocution, fire,

or machine damage. To reduce this risk,

only an electrician or qualified service

personnel should do any required

electrical work on this machine.

NOTICE

ELECTRICAL

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain

types of

malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides

a path of least resistance for electric current

to travel—in

order

to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire

will

increase

the risk of electric shock. The wire with green

insulation

(with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-

grounding

wire. If repair or replacement of the power

cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-

grounding

wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel

you do not understand these grounding requirements,

or if

you are in doubt about whether the tool is

properly grounded.

If you ever notice that a cord or

plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and

immediately replace it with a new one.

DO NOT modify the provided plug or

use an adapter if the plug will not

fit the receptacle. Instead, have an

electrician install the proper receptacle

on a power supply circuit that meets

the requirements for this machine.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with

this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which

may damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords

and smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers indicate

smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a

ground wire, match the required

plug and receptacle, and

meet the following requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size at 120V ...................... 12 AWG

Minimum Gauge Size at 240V ...................... 14 AWG

To prevent

corrosion during shipment and storage of your

machine, the factory has coated t

he bare metal surfaces

of your machine

with a heavy-duty rust prevention

compound

f you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can

be difficult to

remove. To ensure that the removal of this

coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct

cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:

• Cleaner/degreaser

designed to remove storage wax

and grease

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

•

Solvent brush or paint brush

• Disposable Rags

remove rust preventative coating, do these steps:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of

cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

. Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is

effective, the coating will wipe off easily.

Tip: An easier way to clean off thick coats of rust

preventative from flat surfaces is to use a PLASTIC

paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the

coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do

not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your

machine.)

. Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the

compound is removed.

. To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces,

immediately coat with a quality metal protectant.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. Avoid

using these products

to clean machinery.

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if inhaled.

Minimize your risk

by only using these

products in a well

ventilated area.

In a pinch, automotive degreasers,

mineral spirits or WD•40 can be used

to remove rust preventative coating.

Before using these products, though,

test them on an inconspicuous area of

your paint to make sure they will not

damage it.

Weight Load

Refer to the

Machine Specifications for the

weight of your machine. Make sure that the

surface upon which the machine is placed will

bear the weight of the machine, additional

equipment that may be installed on the

machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will

be used. Additionally, consider the weight of

the operator and any dynamic loading that may

occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that

will be processed through this machine and

provide enough space around the machine

for adequate operator material handling or

the installation of auxiliary equipment. With

permanent installations, leave enough space

around the machine to open or remove doors/

covers as required by the maintenance and

service described in this manual.

See below for

required space allocation.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where your machine is

operated is important for safe operation and the

longevity of its components. For best results,

operate this machine in a dry environment

that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous

chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme

conditions. Extreme conditions for this type

of machinery are generally those where the

ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F;

the relative humidity range exceeds 20–95%

(non-condensing); or the environment is subject

to vibration, shocks, or bumps.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power

source. Make sure all power cords are protected

from traffic, material handling, moisture,

chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave

access to a means of disconnecting the power

source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate

enough that operations can be performed

safely. Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that

may distract or impede the operator must be

eliminated.

Children or untrained people

may be seriously injured by this

machine. Only install in an access

restricted location.

Assembly

Figure 8. Attaching cross bars to stand

side.

Figure 9. Attaching stand to shaper unit.

To assemble machine, do these steps:

1. Lay one stand side on the ground and attach the

cross bars with the 8mm carriage bolts,

⁄8" washers,

and 8mm hex nuts as shown in Figure 8. DO NOT

fully tighten the nuts and bolts at this time.

2. Attach the second stand side to the assembly.

Note: At this point, the assembly will be somewhat

wobbly. Have an assistant hold the assembly in place

while you attach the nuts and bolts.

3. Place the shaper table upside down on two sturdy

blocks that are at least 3

⁄2" off the ground as shown

in Figure 9. Make sure the spindle DOES NOT touch

the ground or the weight of the shaper may damage

the spindle.

4. Place the stand assembly on the shaper and attach it

with the 8mm carriage bolts,

⁄8" washers, and 8mm

hex nuts as shown in Figure 9.

5. Have an assistant help you turn the shaper unit over.

6. Level the shaper, then tighten all of the assembly

bolts on the stand.

LACERATION HAZARD!

Inspect edges of all metal parts

before handling them. Some

metal parts may have sharp edges,

which can cause injury.

Figure 10. Installing fence facing.

NOTE: Sheet steel will often “spring” after it has been

fabricated at the factory, occasionally making it difficult

to line up precisely with other parts without a bit of

effort. Do not be surprised if the stand requires a bit of

“persuasion” to fit together. On the other hand, if the

parts just do not seem to work together, try switching

parts around (such as the tie bars).

7. Using the

⁄16"-20 x

⁄4" Phillips head screws, and

⁄16" washers, install each fence facing to the fence

mount brackets as shown in Figure 10.

8. For custom fence facing, make sure the screw heads

are countersunk completely below the surface of

the fence face.

9. Connect the safety guard bar to the safety guard

shaft with two M8-1.25 x 12 bolts and the 8mm flat

washers. See Figure 11.

10. Connect the safety guard to the safety guard bar

with two M4-0.7 x 12 Phillips

head screws and the

M4-0.7 nuts. See Figure 11.

11. Position the extension bar and safety guard on the

main fence housing and install the T-lock handle.

See Figure 11.

12. Position the guard as close as possible to the

spindle/cutter without impeding the feeding path of

the workpiece.

13. Place an 8mm open-end wrench on top the spindle

(see Figure 12).

14. Using a 14mm open-end wrench on the drawbar nut,

(Figure 13), make sure the drawbar nut is tight, but

DO NOT over-tighten the drawbar nut.

Note: This is an important safety measure that

must be done before the Test Run on the next

page.
