SAFETY PROTOCOLS ON OPERATING THE SHAPING MACHINE
Metalworking Machines - Shapers
What should you do before using a shaper?
Shapers can be dangerous if not used properly.

 Read the owner's manual carefully.


 Make sure you understand instructions and are properly trained before operating a
shaper.

What are some safe work practices to know when using a shaper?

 Wear certified safety glasses with side shields, or a face shield.


 Wear appropriate footwear.
 Make sure that the shaper has a working emergency start/stop button (e-stop) within
easy reach.
 Secure the work with shaper vises, parallels, hold downs or clamps and bolts.
 Ensure the work is mounted squarely.
 Make sure that the vice, tool, and ram are securely fastened.
 Remove any burrs, rough edges or cuttings that may obstruct how the work piece fits
into the vice.
 Check that the tool and tool head clear the work piece, and the column on the return
stroke.
 Make sure that the table cross-feed, tool-head feed, and attachments are working
properly.
 Set the cutting tool properly to avoid vibration or chatter.
 Stand to the side (parallel) of the cutting stroke and not in front of it.
 Prevent cuttings from flying. Use a metal shield or wire screen at all times.
 Use a brush or rake to remove cuttings after any moving parts have stopped moving.
 Keep the floor around the shaper free of oil and grease.
 Keep the working surface clean of scraps, tools, and material.
 Keep belts, pulleys, cutters and other parts in good repair. Replace when worn or dull.
 Keep machine guards in good repair and in use every time.

What should be avoided?

 Do not remove cuttings or reach across the table while the ram is moving.
 Do not adjust the machine while it is operating.
 Do not use bolts or nuts with stripped threads to hold down work clamps.
 Do not leave a shaper running unattended.
 Do not use bare hands or compressed air to remove cuttings.
 Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that can
become entangled in moving parts. Confine long hair.
