ASSEMBLING SPINDLE GUARD A 4-1/2" diameter spindle guard is supplied as standard equipment and is supplied with a 1/2" bushing which enables the guard to be used with both the 1/2" and 3/4" spindles. CAUTION: The diameter of the spindle guard should be at least 1" more than the maximum cutting circle of the shaper cutter and the height of the guard should not exceed 1/4" above the material. To assemble the spindle guard, proceed as follows: MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 1.
CONNECTING SHAPER TO POWER SOURCE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The motor is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS A B Fig. 43 STARTING AND STOPPING THE SHAPER To apply power to the machine, push “ON” button (A) Fig. 43. To stop the machine, push “OFF” button (B). C Fig. 44 LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION IMPORTANT: We suggest that when the shaper is not in use, the switch be locked in the “OFF” position using a padlock (C) Fig. 44 , through the switch plate and “ON” button as shown.
RAISING AND LOWERING SPINDLE D The spindle can be raised or lowered by loosening lock knob (A) Fig. 45, and turning handwheel (B). To raise the spindle height, turn the handwheel (B) clockwise. To lower the spindle height, turn handle (B) counterclockwise. C The scale (C) Fig. 45, indicates the spindle travel range from 0 to 3" and is marked in 1/16" increments. Minor cutter height adjustments can be measured using the pointer (D) along the scale (C).
FENCE CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS E C C E A A B D B D Fig. 48 1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE. IMPORTANT: The fence halves (A) Fig. 48, should be adjusted endwise so the opening at the spindle is never more than is required to clear the cutter. 2. To adjust the fence halves (A) Fig. 48 endwise, loosen the two fence locking levers (B), slide the fence halves to the required positions, and tighten locking levers (B). 3. Each fence half (A) Fig.
GUARD CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE. C The spring clamp (A) Fig. 52, holddown (B), and clear plastic guard (C) are fully adjustable to provide safe protection for most applications. NOTE: For certain applications, the supplied spindle guard may have to be used or a custom guard may need to be fabricated. D B 1. Using a square (not shown), check to see if shaft (D) Fig. 52, on spring clamp (A) is 90 degrees to the table surface.
4. Loosen thumb screws on guard mounting bracket (P) Fig. 56, and adjust spring clamp (N) so it will provide inward pressure on workpiece; then tighten thumb screws. NOTE: Thumb screws on guard mounting bracket (R) Fig. 56, can be loosened to permit extension of guard assembly. R P E WARNING: TURN THE CUTTER BY HAND TO MAKE CERTAIN CUTTER DOES NOT CONTACT ANY OF THE G U A R D I N G O R F E N C E H A LV E S B E F O R E CONNECTING THE SHAPER TO POWER SOURCE.
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. 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. 3.
B A A B Fig. 67 Fig. 68 STARTING PIN 1. Your machine is supplied with a tapered starting pin (A) Fig. 67, which is used as a support when starting the cut. The starting pin (A) is placed on one of the tapered holes (B) in the table. 2. Fig. 68, illustrates starting pin (A) placed into hole in table. 3. The work should be placed in the first position using the guide pin as a support, as shown in Fig. 69. Then swing the work into the cutter as shown in the second position.
