2.To reduce this tendency, use a Taper Pin (56). The Taper Pin allows you to anchor and slowly pivot the workpiece into the Cutter as the cut is started. Thus, shaping freehand is more stable and safer. (See Figures HH).
WARNING! ALWAYS use an auxiliary jig (not included) and extreme care when shaping with the Fences (60) removed. Freehand shaping often requires you to remove the Fences, resulting in reduced protection from the Cutter.
3.To set up the Wood Shaper for freehand shaping, remove the Fences (60) from the machine.
4.Insert the Taper Pin (56) in the best suited hole on the Work Table (52) so you can feed the workpiece into and against the rotation of the Cutter.
(See Figures HH).
5.Install the Cutter so it will cut in the correct direction. Then, adjust the Spindle (105) height.
6.Install the Ring Guard (85). DO NOT use the Wood Shaper without the Ring Guard installed.
7.Use a supplemental
8.Place the workpiece against the Taper Pin (56). (See Figures HH).
9.Slowly pivot and feed the workpiece into the Cutter. Avoid starting the cut on the corner of the workpiece as kickback could occur. Once the cut is started, the workpiece should be pulled away from the Taper Pin (56).
(See Figures HH).
