end of the drawbar.
6. Thread the tapered drawbar nut onto the end
of the drawbar under the table, and make
sure that the taper side of the nut is facing
upward as shown in Figure 20.
7. Tighten your selected spindle in the shaper
as outlined below:
• For shaper spindles: Place the spindle
wrench on the top end of the spindle. Using
a 15mm open-end wrench, tighten the
drawbar nut while holding the spindle
wrench secure as shown in Figure 21. DO
NOT over-tighten the drawbar nut.
• For router bit spindles: Hold the router bit
spindle flat on the shank—NOT the collet
nut. Using a 15mm open-end wrench,
tighten the drawbar nut while holding the
router bit spindle in position with a wrench.
DO NOT over-tighten the drawbar nut.

ASSEMBLY
Drawbar Nut
Taper Side Up
ONLY operate your shaper in the COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE direction as looking downward at
the spindle when when you use a router bit
adapter. Router bits are designed to cut in
the counter-clockwise direction only. DO
NOT operate the shaper in the clockwise
direction to make any sort of router-bit back
cut. If this caution is ignored, the workpiece
can kick back, or the collet can loosen and
throw the cutter causing severe injury or
death!
