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. MAKE sure that fences, guides, or guards are mounted securely.
24. ALWAYS USE jigs, fixtures, or templates whenever possible.
25. KEEP ANY unused portion of the cutter below the table surface.
26. NEVER attempt to take too much material off in one pass.
27. WHEN SHAPING CONTOURED WORK and using a rub collar, NEVER start out at a corner.
See the rub collar section further on in the manual.
28. KEEP all cutting surfaces sharp.
29. BE SURE THE SPINDLE turns freely and all adjustment tools, etc., are off of the table before
the machine is turned on.
NOTE: Many manuals and books recommend the use of push sticks. While in some applications
they are useful safety devices, in others they can be quite dangerous. If the pushstick comes in con-
tact with the cutter on the end grain, it can fly out of your hand like a bullet – potentially causing seri-
ous injury. We recommend using, instead, some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer
alternative. This does not mean that we recommend using the machine without any safety protec-
tion. Use a guard, or other type of protective device at all times. Grizzly carries a number of protec-
tive devices for use with shapers. See the current catalog for details and ordering information.
30. THE SPINDLE must be adjusted correctly and locked in position before turning on the shaper.
31. AGAIN, IF THERE IS ANY ASPECT of this machine’s operation you do not understand, DO
NOT try to operate the shaper.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR AND CLOTHING WHEN USING THIS,
OR ANY OTHER MACHINERY.
