Hi Colum. Since you mentioned France, I guess you speak french? If so, there is an online course from Samuel Mamias that covers stationary machines. This training covers the saw, shaper, planer, and bandsaw. There is a lot of emphasize on safety measures, and the section on the Shaper is excellent in my opinion. I bought it when I first received my CF741, and got me started safely very quickly. One bonus is he uses all Felder equipment, so you don't have to transpose from another type of machine.
