Additional Safety Instructions for Shapers
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
1. HAND POSITIONING. Never place hands
directly over, behind or in front of the cut-
ter. Always keep hands at least 6" away
from the cutter while operating.
2. SAFETY DEVICES. Use a fixture, jig, or
hold-down device to decrease the chances
of injury.
3. SAFETY GUARDS. DO NOT remove the
guard on the fence. Use a guard or other
type of protective device at all times.
4. STOCK LENGTH. Do not use stock short-
er than 14 inches without special fixtures
or jigs. Where practical, shape longer
stock and cut to size.
5. STOCK CONDITION. The danger of kick-
back is increased when the stock has knots,
holes, or foreign objects in it. Warped stock
should be run through a jointer before you
run it through a shaper.
6. BLIND CUT WHEN POSSIBLE. Blind cuts
keep the cutters on the underside of the
workpiece and provide a distance guard
for the operator.
7. DEPTH OF CUT. Never remove too much
material in one pass. Several light passes
are safer and produce a cleaner finish.
8. CUTTER HEIGHT. Keep any unused por-
tion of the cutter below the table surface.
9. KICKBACK HAZARD. Always confirm
which direction the cutter will rotate before
moving the workpiece into the cutting
path. Move the workpiece against the rota-
tion of the cutter; otherwise, kickback can
occur. Kickback can cause the operator or
bystanders to be struck by flying stock, or
the operator's hands can be pulled into the
cutter during the kickback.
10. SHAPING CONTOURED WORK. Always
use a rub collar and a template. DO NOT
start out at a corner. See the rub collar sec-
tion further on in the manual.
11. FEEDING THE WORKPIECE. Always
feed the workpiece against the rotation of
the cutter. Never force materials through
the shaper. Let the cutters do the work.
Excessive force is likely to result in poor
cutting results and will cause dangerous
kickback conditions.
12. SECURING NUTS AND KNOBS. Never
operate the shaper without the second
locking bolt with washer in place over the
spindle nut. Always ensure that the cutters,
fence, spindle elevator knob, and spindle
tilt knob have been tightened properly
before beginning any operation.
-10- G0608X Extreme Series Tilting Spindle Shaper
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the setup pro-
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until instructed to do so.
Full Load Amperage Draw
G0608X 7.5 HP 220V 3-Phase .............20 Amps
G0608X 7.5 HP 440V 3-Phase ............. 10 Amps
Circuit Requirements
We recommend connecting your machine to a
dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for
the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit
breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electri-
cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If
you are unsure about the wiring codes in your
area or you plan to connect your machine to a
shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.
G0608X 220V 3-Phase ...........................30 Amp
G0608X 440V 3-Phase ...........................15 Amp
Minimum Cord Requirements
For 220V connection, we recommend using a
stranded-copper flexible cord that meets the mini-
mum criteria listed below, does not exceed 50 ft.,
and has an insulation type that starts with "S."
The exact insulation type should account for any
exposure to moisture, heat, and oils in the working
environment. A qualified electrician should deter-
mine the best cord to use in your environment.
For 440V connection, the electrician who hard-
wires the machine will determine the appropriate
wire to use inside the conduit.

Figure 1. Hardwired locking disconnect switch.
440V Connection to Power
Have a qualified electrician hardwire this machine
to a dedicated locking shut-off switch that is con-
nected to the main power source.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding
wire in the power cord must be properly connect-
ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise,
the outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed. All electrical connections must be made in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
G0608X Extreme Series Tilting Spindle Shaper -11-
Purchase the Model G0608X 440V Conversion Kit
(part number P0608X131) by calling our Customer
Service number at (800) 523-4777.
This procedure must be done by a qualified
electrician before the shaper is connected to the
power source. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams
starting on Page 43.
To rewire the Model G0608X for 440V opera-
tion:
1. DISCONNECT THE SHAPER FROM THE
POWER SOURCE!
2. Open the main electrical box on the right side
of the shaper and locate the overload relay
shown in Figure 4.
Rewiring to 440V
3. Replace the contactor with the 440V

Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly
or if your electrical con-
figuration does not com-
ply with local and state
codes. Ensure compliance
by checking with a quali-
fied electrician!
We do not recommend the use of extension cords.
Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment
and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for
extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-
sion cord with your machine, the extension cord
must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.
220V Operation
Use at least a 10 gauge cord that does not exceed
50 feet in length!
440V Operation
Do not use an extension cord with 440V! The
machine must be permanently hardwired in place
by a qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
The Model G0608X can be rewired for 440V
operation. This rewiring job consists of:
• Changing the motor contactor.
• Changing the motor overload relay.
• Rewiring the motor.

Site Considerations
Lifting and Moving
The Model G0608X is a very heavy machine.
You will need power lifting equipment and
assistance to remove this machine from
the pallet and position it. Inspect all lift-
ing equipment and make sure that all is in
perfect working order and is rated for the
load before attempting to lift and move this
shaper. Ignoring this warning may lead to
serious personal injury or death.
1. Position the lifting straps underneath and
around the shaper as illustrated in Figure 7.
Make sure the straps will not put destructive
pressure on any controls, wires, or handles.
Figure 7. Location of lifting straps.
Lifting and Moving
Site Considerations
G0608X Extreme Series Tilting Spindle Shaper -15-
3. Position lifting straps, your lifting device, and
your assistant to support the shaper in a verti-
cal and stable position.
4. Unbolt the shaper from the pallet.
5. Slowly raise the shaper from the pallet, then
carefully move the shaper to your prepared
location.
6. Follow the Mounting To Shop Floor proce-
dures.
Mounting to Floor
The Model G0608X is designed to be mounted to
the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (see Figure 8)
and anchor studs (see Figure 9) are two popular
methods for anchoring an object to a concrete
floor. We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your machine, and
choose the best that fits your specific application.
Mounting to Shop
Floor
Figure 8. Typical lag shield anchor and lag bolt.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
Figure 9. Typical anchor stud.
-16- G0608X Extreme Series Tilting Spindle Shaper
To mount the shaper to the floor:
1. With the shaper securely resting on the floor,
shim between the floor and the mounting
points as required to level the shaper table.
Note: The mounting points can be accessed
through the shaper front door.
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding con-
tact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorine-
based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts
cleaner, as they may damage painted surfaces
should they come in contact. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using any type
of cleaning product.
Clean Up
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could cause
an explosion or fire if
used to clean machinery.
DO NOT use gasoline or
petroleum products to
clean the machinery.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
vents could cause seri-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
NOTICE
Make sure there are no gaps between the
machine mounting points and the floor.
Otherwise, when you final tighten the
mounting fasteners, the cabinet can become
warped and damaged.
2. Tighten the mounting fasteners so that the
shaper is just snug to the floor—DO NOT
overtighten the fasteners.
3. Recheck the table to make sure that it is still
level, and reshim as required.
4. When the shaper is level and all gaps under
the mounting points are adequately shimmed,
fully tighten the floor mounting fasteners.
G0608X Extreme Series Tilting Spindle Shaper -17-
Assembly
The fence mount diverts the wood debris from
the cutter to the upper dust port, and provides
mounting points for the fence and hold-downs.
The fence mount also guards against accidental
contact with the cutter.
To install the fence mount:
1. Position the fence mount in the center rear of
the table.
2. Screw the fasteners into the table holes pro-
vided (see Figure 10).
The vertical hold-downs keep the workpiece firmly
against the table and prevent the workpiece from
rising up when passing by the cutter.
To install the vertical hold-downs:
1. Insert the short end of the vertical hold-down
bars into the fence mount and secure with the
M10-1.5 x 30 hex bolts (see Figure 11).

ers.
Note: The direction of the horizontal hold-
down finger as shown in Figure 15 is correct
when the cutter is rotating FORWARD and
the workpiece is passing the cutter from right
to left.
Position the horizontal hold-down fingers in
the opposite direction (pointing to the right)
when the cutter is rotating in REVERSE and
the stock is passing the cutter from left to
right.
