The information in this manual has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable and as up-to- date as possible. While this manual is intended to be a substantial source of basic shaping infor- mation, it is by no means the last word on shaping. Instead, we have focused primarily on the prop- er assembly and adjustment of the machine – as well as some basic information on shaping proce- dures. We have also included some important safety measures which we believe to be essential to this machine’s operation. While most safety measures are generally universal, Grizzly cautions that each workshop is different and safety rules should be considered as they apply to your individual sit- uation.

The shaper is a fundamental machine, capable of performing a wide range of work. Its primary func- tion is to profile edges for moldings and cabinets. The shaper can also be used for making joints, grooves, flutes and profiles in many different designs and shapes.

The shaper is designed for highly-skilled individuals who have an understanding of wood and how it mills. A strong knowledge of woodworking is essential for the proper use of the shaper and its cor- rect applications. We realize there are numerous kinds of cutters and specialized techniques used to shape wood throughout the woodworking community. To list all of the techniques necessary to operate a shaper correctly for specific applications would require many volumes.

If you are not familiar with shapers and their safe operation, we strongly suggest you obtain as many books on the subject as you can. Grizzly has a number of fine books available on wood shaping. A visit to the local library, or time spent browsing through back issues of woodworking magazines will prove beneficial in gaining knowledge of shaper operations.

III. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS

WARNING! As with all power tools, there is a certain amount of inherent danger associated with the Model G1024 Shaper. Using the tool with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibil- ity of mechanical damage or operator injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, injury to the operator or others in the area is possible.

There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. We strongly emphasize that this tool should never be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are confused about any aspect of this machine, do not use it until you have resolved any questions you might have. The following are important safety rules for all tools:

1.KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as its particular hazards.

2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3.GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole grounded outlet. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the grounding prong.

4.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and adjust- ing wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
