SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts. HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material.
Additional Safety for Shapers Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutter. Cutters or other parts improperly secured to spindle can fly off and strike nearby operators with great force. Flying debris can cause eye injuries or blindness. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating shaper MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below. AVOIDING CUTTER CONTACT: Keep unused portion of cutter below table. Use smallest table insert possible.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Circuit Information Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Model G5912Z Circuit Requirements This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements: Nominal Voltage.......... 208V, 220V, 230V, 240V Cycle...........................................................60 Hz Phase............................................ Single-Phase Power Supply Circuit.......................... 30 Amps Plug/Receptacle............................NEMA L6-30 Cord.........
440V Conversion The Model G7214Z can be converted for 440V operation using the optional Part# P7214Z156A. This can be purchased by contacting the Grizzly Order Desk at (800) 523-4777. This conversion job consists of: 1) replacing the magnetic switch assembly and 2) rewiring the motor for 440V operation. All wiring changes must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel before the shaper is connected to the power source.
SECTION 3: SETUP Needed for Setup This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine! Wear safety glasses during the entire setup process! The G5912Z/G7214Z is a heavy machine. DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – use power equipment to move the machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.
Inventory The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory them. If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store. NOTICE If you cannot find an item on this list, carefully check around/inside the machine and packaging materials.
Cleanup The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean. Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Spindle The Model G5912Z/G7214Z comes with three interchangeable spindles like those in Figure 7. The spindles must be inserted correctly and remain stable in order to produce quality work. When installing and changing spindles, make sure the spindle seats snugly and that there is enough drawbar threaded into the bottom of the spindle to safely secure it in place. Align These Parts To install a spindle: 1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER! Figure 8. Installing spindle into the cartridge. 4.
Handles 4. Install the round knobs shown in Figure 12 onto both ends of the bar. The guard adjuster is used to secure the guard to the table and allow the guard to be loosened for adjustment. To assemble the guard adjuster: 1. Install the bar into the shaft guide as shown in Figure 10. 2. Line up the groove in the bar with the setscrew. Figure 12. Round knobs onto bar. Groove The wheel shown in Figure 13 fits on the adjustment shaft.
Cutter Guard To mount the cutter guard to the table: 1. Place the guard over the threaded holes on the table. 2. Fence Assembly To mount the fence brackets to the cutter guard: 1. Thread the adjustment shaft into the fence bracket as shown in Figure 16. Insert the shaft guide with a washer into the guard as shown in Figure 14, and thread the shaft guide clockwise to secure the guard to the table. Figure 16. Adjustment guide to fence bracket. Figure 14. Inserting shaft guide into guard. 3.
Spindle Enclosure Guard To install the wood facing: 1. Secure the wooden fence pieces (as shown in Figure 18) with the 5⁄16''- 18 x 1'' Phillips screws, washers, and hex nuts provided. 2. If using your own wood pieces, make sure the countersunk holes in your fence material are deep enough so the entire screw head is below the fence surface. To attach the spindle enclosure guard: 1.
Hold-Downs Spindle Enclosure Guard Positioning The spindle enclosure guard protects the user from exposure to the cutter and chips thrown by it. To minimize the risk of injury, the spindle enclosure guard must be adjusted so it encloses as much of the spindle area as possible, while still allowing the workpiece to pass through the cut. Typically this means the front guard is positioned to just clear the top of the workpiece.
SECTION 4: ADJUSTMENTS 3. Keep clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back. Check the alignment with a straightedge. If the pulleys are in alignment, the straightedge should touch two sides of each pulley evenly as in Figure 24. Adjustment Set Screw To reduce risk of shock or accidental startup, always disconnect machine from power before adjustments, maintenance, or service. Wear safety glasses during the entire adjustment process.
V-Belt Tension Speed Changes You should be able to deflect the belt 1⁄4" with moderate finger pressure, as shown in Figure 25. This may seem tight compared to most other V-belts, but since the belt is small and runs fast, this amount of tension is necessary. The V-belt will slip if too loose, and will squeal or cause vibration if too tight. Adjust the tension if necessary. The Model G5912Z/G7214Z is equipped with a Vbelt drive system that controls the speeds. Pulley To change spindle speeds: 1.
Fence Adjustment Aligning Fences The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each fence is independently adjustable to compensate for different cutting thicknesses and special shaping applications. Without any play, one turn of the knob moves the split fence approximately 5⁄64" (.078"). To ensure that the fence is parallel with itself and square with the table: 1. Check that the bolts through the wood facing are tight on each side and adequately countersunk.
Table Inserts Test Run The Model G5912Z/G7214Z is supplied with two inserts which give you three possible opening diameters in the shaper table surface. Use the smallest opening that a particular cutter will allow. This offers more support for the workpiece and reduces the amount of chips that can fall into the machine. The correct spindle opening also allows any unused portion of the cutter to remain below the table surface—increasing operator protection.
SECTION 5: OPERATIONS Rotation To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine. Eye injuries, respiratory problems, or hearing loss can occur while operating this tool. Wear personal protective equipment to reduce your risk from these hazards. Your shaper is equipped with a FORWARD/ REVERSE switch as shown in Figure 29. In many instances, you will find it necessary to flip the cutter over and reverse cutter rotation.
Cutter Installation Your shaper operates at speeds of 3600, 5100, 8000 and 10,000 R.P.M. 31⁄2" or larger cutters must be operated at the slowest speed. Always use the largest spindle size possible, and never use more than one bushing size to gain two spindle sizes. "Stacking” two cutter bushings to decrease the inside diameter of the cutter and will cause the cutter to perform incorrectly when placed under a load. To install a cutter: 1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER! 2.
Spindle Height Straight Shaping To adjust the cutter height: 1. Loosen the spindle lock shown in Figure 31. 2. Move the spindle up or down with the handwheel until the desired position is obtained. 3. Lock the spindle into position. To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE using machine. The fence assembly is a two-piece, independently adjustable system.
4. Loosen the mounting screws on the fence faces and set the face ends to barely clear the cutter. This allows the maximum support possible for the workpiece while passing the cutter. Remember to tighten the wood facing before starting the shaper. 5. A test sample of the desired cut should be advanced about 8'' then stopped. 6. Once the shaper is turned off and the cutter has come to a complete stop, adjust the outfeed fence to support the new profiled edge (see Figure 33). 4.
Rub Collars 2. Rub collars are used when shaping curved or irregular workpieces, such as arched doors or round table tops. Rub collars also limit the depth of your cut. Above the cutter: When the rub collar is used above the cutter as seen in Figure 37, the cut cannot be seen. This offers some advantage: the stock is not affected by slight variations in thickness and accidental lifting will not damage the workpiece. If lifting occurs, simply correct the mistake by repeating the operation.
Pattern Work 2. Make the jig stable, using proven methods and materials, and fasten the hand holds for operator comfort and safety.3. Secure your workpiece on the three sides that will not be cut with toggle clamps, or fasten the workpiece to the jig with wood screws. 4. Ensure that clamps and hidden screws do not come into contact with the cutter. 5. Design your jig so that all cutting occurs underneath the workpiece as shown in Figure 40.
Shop Made Shaper Accessories Starting Fixures The purpose of the starting fixture is to support the workpiece during the beginning of the cut. The workpiece is typically placed in the starting position using the starting fixture for support, then swung into the cutter while holding the workpiece firmly against the starting fixture. After the cut has been started, the work is swung away from the starting fixture and is supported only by the rub collar.
SECTION 6: ACCESSORIES Installing unapproved accessories may cause machine to malfunction, resulting in serious personal injury or machine damage. To reduce this risk, only install accessories recommended for this machine by Grizzly. G3030—Shaper Handbook Roger Cliffe and Michael Holtz show you the potential of your shaper. Hundreds of techniques are explored in vivid detail and clear step-by-step instructions. There are tips on freehand shaping as well as jig and fixture shaping. 256 pages.
