C. SAFETY GUARD

The Model G1024 features a clear acrylic safety guard which is designed to deflect wood chips away from the machine’s operator. To attach the guard, slip the support rod into the hole provided in the bracket bolted to the back of the shaper table. See Figure 7. The height of the safety guard can be adjusted by loosening the locking knob on the bracket and raising or lowering the support rod. Be sure to re-tighten the locking knob securely after making height adjustments.

Figure 7

CAUTION: Always use some type of guard when operating your shaper. The cutter is spinning at 10,000 RPM – a knot or wood chip expelled from the shaper could cause severe injury to the oper- ator if proper safety equipment is not in place.

In addition to a safety guard, always wear ANSI-approved eyewear and face shield to protect your- self while operating the shaper. Also avoid wearing loose fitting clothing and use a hat (to contain long hair, if needed). Always follow the safety guidelines we’ve noted here in the manual. A few sim- ple steps can avoid a world of heartache.
