GENERAL SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR WOOD SHAPERS WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNTIL it is assembled and installed according to the instructions. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not familiar with the operation of this machine. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
3. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive: GROUNDED OUTLET BOX CURRENT CARRYING PRONGS If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. C, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. C. Make sure the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS UNPACKING The shaper is shipped with the motor assembly, spindle and belt assembled to the underside of the table. Place the shaper table and motor assembly upside down on a suitable surface, such as two saw horses, making certain there is clearance for the spindle (A). IMPORTANT: The spindle assembly is double-sided, with a 1/2 inch diameter spindle on one end and a 3/4 inch diameter spindle on the other end.
4. Assemble 3/8" rubber grommet (Z) Fig. 6, to round hole (A) in leg. A 5. Assemble front panel (B) Fig. 7, to the outside of the two front legs. Insert a 5/16-18x5/8"" carriage head bolt (C) Figs. 6 and 7, through the hole in the front panel and the hole in rubber grommet (Z) Fig. 6. Place a 5/16" fIat washer (D) Fig 6, on the carriage head bolt, and thread a 5/16-18 lock nut (E) Fig.
ASSEMBLING FENCE TO SHAPER TABLE B C A Place the fence assembly (A) Fig. 11, on the shaper table and fasten it to the table using the two long threaded locking rods (B) and 11/32" flat washers (C), as shown. ASSEMBLING TABLE INSERTS Two table inserts (A) Fig. 12, are provided for use with various size cutters. The largest insert is pressed into the spindle opening in the table and the smallest insert, when used, is pressed into the opening of the largest insert. Fig.
FASTENING SHAPER TO SUPPORTING SURFACE IF DURING OPERATION THERE IS ANY TENDENCY FOR THE SHAPER TO TIP OVER, SLIDE OR WALK ON THE SUPPORTING SURFACE, THE SHAPER MUST BE SECURED TO THE SUPPORTING SURFACE. HOLES (A) FIG. 16, ARE PROVIDED IN THE SHAPER LEGS FOR MOUNTING. A Fig. 16 OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS RAISING AND LOWERING SPINDLE B The spindle can be raised or lowered by loosening lock knob (A) Fig. 18, and rotating handwheel (B).
CHANGING POSITION OF THE SWITCH ARM A B The switch arm (A) can be positioned in the vertical position, as shown in Fig. 21 , or in the horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 22. This allows the switch to be placed in the most convenient position for the type of work you are performing. For example, when using the fence (B) as a guide when shaping, it is more convenient to have the switch arm in the vertical position, as shown in Fig. 21.
FENCE ADJUSTMENTS D M IMPORTANT: The individual fence segments (A) should be adjusted endwise so the opening is never more than required to clear the spindle guard (B) and cutter (C), as shown in Fig. 25. To adjust the fence segments (A) endwise, loosen lock handles (D), adjust each individual fence segment (A) and tighten lock handles (D).
B A C D Fig. 28 Fig. 29 CHANGING SPINDLES AND REPLACING BELTS N M CHANGING SPINDLES The spindle assembly in your shaper is equipped with a 1/2 inch diameter spindle on one end and 3/4 inch diameter spindle on the other end. To change from one diameter to the other, proceed as follows: L K N 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 2. Lower the front panel of the shaper. J 3. Loosen belt tension knob (A) Fig. 28, and remove belt from motor pulley (B). Fig. 30 4. Remove two nuts (C) Fig. 28. 5.
CHECKING AND ALIGNING MOTOR PULLEY TO SPINDLE B 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. A 2. Lift up latch (A) Fig. 34, pull out and lower front panel (B), as shown. 3. Loosen belt tension knob (C) Fig. 35 Fig. 34 4. PIace belt (D) Fig. 35, on largest step of motor pulley (E). Slide belt (D) up or down on spindle sleeve so belt is horizontal. Tighten belt tension knob (C) ONLY enough to hold belt in position. Make sure motor mounting nuts (F) are loose enough to shift motor.
SHAPING WITH COLLARS AND STARTING PIN When shaping with collars and starting pin, the following rules must always be followed for good work and safety in operation. Fig. 39 1. Collars MUST be smooth and free of all gum or other substances. 2. The edge of the work to be shaped MUST be smooth, as any irregularity in the surface which rides against the collar will be duplicated on the moulded surface. Fig. 40 3.
STARTING PIN 1. Your machine is supplied with a tapered starting pin which is used as a support when starting the cut. The start-ing pin is placed in one of the two tapered holes in the table depending on the rotation of the cutter. 2. The work should be placed in the first position using the guide pin as a support, as shown in Fig. 46. Then swing the work into the cutter as shown in the second position. The work will now be supported by the collar and starting pin as shown in Fig. 46. Fig. 46 3.
