§ 45.91. Wood shapers.
(a) The cutting head of each wood shaper, hand-feed panel raiser, or other similar machine not automatically fed, shall be guarded with a cage or pulley guard of other approved device, designed so as to keep the hands of the operator away from the cutting edge. In no case shall a warning device of leather or other material attached to the spindle be acceptable. Cylindrical heads shall be used, if the nature of the work permits. The diameter of circular shaper guards shall be not less than the greatest diameter of the cutter. Guards shall not be required on operations involving form feed.
(b) All double spindle shapers shall either be provided with a spindle starting and stopping device for each spindle, or provision shall be made to insure that only one spindle shall operate at any one time.
