SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-
nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical com-
ponents!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre-
dictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved after-
market parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires dis-
connected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious per-
sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are expe-
riencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at [phone].

These pages are current at the time of printing. However, in the spirit of improvement, we may make chang-
es to the electrical systems of future machines. Compare the manufacture date of your machine to the one
stated in this update, and study this section carefully.
If there are differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at
[phone] for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine. An updated
wiring diagram may be available. Note: Please gather the serial number and manufacture date of your
machine before calling. This information can be found on the main machine label.

Attaching Spindle Enclosure Guard
Before attaching the spindle enclosure guard,
follow instructions in the Owner's Manual for
installing the cutter guard and attaching the safety
guard (for G5913Z/G7215Z, see Pages 18–19;
for G8622, see Pages 14–15).
To attach spindle enclosure guard:
1. Attach front guard extension plate to thread-
ed holes on front of safety guard with (2) 1⁄4"-
20 x 1⁄2" knob bolts and (2) 1⁄4" flat washers
(see Figure 1).
2. Attach front spindle enclosure guard to exten-
sion plate with (2) 1⁄4"-20 x 1⁄2" knob bolts and
(2) 1⁄4" flat washers (see Figure 1).
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 enclo-
sure 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.
To position the spindle enclosure guard, loosen
the top knob bolts and slide the extension plate in
or out, then loosen the front knob bolts and raise
or lower the spindle enclosure guard as needed.
Tighten the knob bolts to secure the setting.
All guards MUST be
installed on your shaper
before operating it.
Shapers can quickly cause
serious injury if some kind
of guard is not used. To
reduce your risk of injury,
read and follow the entire
Owner's Manual carefully
and do additional research
on shop-made guards and
safety jigs.

OWNER'S MANUAL

This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup,
operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this
document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.
Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual
may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,
electrocution, or death.
The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-
hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage
from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
