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 mach

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. 6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area well lighted. 7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe dis- tance away from your work area. 8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. 9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better and more safely when they are allowed t

22. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a full stop. 23. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate the tool under the influence of drugs, alco- hol, or any medication. Never operate machinery when overly fatigued. IV. UNPACKING The Model G1024 Shaper is shipped from the factory in heavy-duty cardboard packaging. Carefully remove the cardboard box by cutting through the box at its base. The top of the box can then be lift- ed off and

V. PIECE INVENTORY Take a quick inventory of the parts and put them aside for assembly later. Since the majority of the shaper is pre-assembled at the factory, there aren’t a lot of items to inven- tory. You should have the following: • Shaper Unit • Miter Gauge • Spindle and Spacers • Fence Boards • Freehand Guard • Bolt Bag (See below) • Stand (4 pcs.) • Adjustable Fence (3 pcs.) The Model G1026 Bolt Box contains: Rubber Feet (4) Nut M8-1.25 (16) 3 Hex Bolt M6-1

VI. CLEAN-UP BEFORE ASSEMBLY All of the unpainted surfaces on this machine – and a few of the painted ones – are coated with a preservative oil, called Cosmolene, which prevents rust and corrosion during shipping. The coating can be removed with paint thinner (mineral spirits) and a good supply of paper towels, although you may find that careful scraping with a putty knife may be necessary where the coating is particularly thick. Use caution when removing the coating with your putty knife to avo

VIII. ELECTRICAL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS The Grizzly Model G1024 Shaper is furnished with a complete electrical package: A 3450 RPM 3 TEFC /4 H.P. motor, ON-OFF starter switch, FORWARD/REVERSE switch and a cord set. The motor is single phase and may be operated on 220/240V, as well as 110/120V. A. GENERAL The Model G1024 comes with a standard 110V cord and plug. Its motor draws 10 amps. While that is not excessive, using the Model G1024 on a circuit that is already close to capacity could result in

A. STAND The Model G1024 Shaper features an A-frame stand. Begin assembling the stand by attaching the four rubber feet to the bottom of the side panels with the M6-1.0x12 hex bolts, M6-1.0 hex nuts and 3 /8" flat washers provided. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Figure 5 Once the rubber feet are connected, attach the crossbars loosely with the carriage bolts, nuts and washers provided. See Figure 5. At this point, the stand will be somewhat wobbly. You will find it a real help to have an assistant hold

B. FENCE ASSEMBLY The Model G1024 Shaper comes with a two-piece adjustable fence. Before attaching the fence unit to the shaper table, you will want to “wood” it. The wood fence pieces included with the Model G1024 are pre-drilled and counterbored to allow the slotted mounting screws to rest below the wood surface once they are tightened. Most woodworkers like to replace the wood pieces on the fence with wider and thicker boards. This gives the user greater stability and a larger bearing surface

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

X. SAFETY PROCEDURES This tool is capable of causing serious injury if used recklessly. This doesn’t mean that the machin- ery should be feared, but it does deserve a healthy respect for its power and potential danger. At the beginning of this manual we shared some general safety procedures with you. We want to re- emphasize a few points we feel are critical to safe shaper operation: 1. GROUND EQUIPMENT PROPERLY. We can’t over-emphasize the importance of a well grounded machine. 2. FOLLOW ELECTR

R E T 14. HAND SAFETY. Never pass your hands directly over, or in front of the cutter. As one hand approaches the 12-inch radius point, move it away from the cutter to the outfeed side and repo- sition the hand at least 12 inches beyond the cutter. 15. STOCK FEED. Always feed stock opposite the direction of the cutter rotation. For example, if the cutter rotation is counterclockwise, feed from right to left. NEVER back stock out of the cut- ter along the fence, once the cut has been started. Ins

20. STOCK CONDITION. The danger of experiencing kick-back is increased when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it. Warped stock should be run through a jointer before attempting to run it through a shaper. 21. MISUSE. Do not use the Model G1024 for anything other than its intended purpose. If used for other purposes, Grizzly disclaims any real or implied warranty and is not responsible for any damage or injury which may result from that use. 22. USE the correct safety guards. 23.

XI. ADJUSTMENT SECTION Any adjustments or maintenance performed on the Model G1024 should be done with the power off, the plug disconnected from the power source and only after all moving parts have come to a com- plete stop. Make sure the machine is level and secure. The following are recommended steps for adjusting the shaper. Please read the following adjust- ment procedures to ensure the shaper is adjusted and ready for operation. This section covers adjustment procedures for the following i
