hOLD-DOWNS
Hold-downs are used to hold the workpiece flat on the table and
snug against the fence as shown in Figure 19.
To assemble the spring hold-downs:
1. Slide two hold-down brackets onto each of the hold-down bars
(one on the short arm, one on the long arm) as shown in
Figure 17.

2. Slide the long arm of the hold-down bars through the holes in
the cast iron fence brackets as shown in Figure 18.
3. Partially screw the 5⁄16"-18 x 3⁄8" setscrews into the
hold-down brackets.
4. Slide each hold-down between a hold down bracket and hold
down bar as shown in Figure 19.
5. Position the hold-downs according to the size of your
workpiece.
6. Tighten the setscrews in the fence brackets and the hold-down
brackets to fix the position of the hold-downs.
Remove the hold-down assembly when not in use.
OPERATIONS
ROTATION
Your shaper is equipped with a FORWARD/ REVERSE switch.
See Figure 20. In many instances, it will be necessary to flip the
cutter over and reverse cutter rotation. Whenever possible,
mount the cutter so the board is milled on the bottom side (the
side away from the operator). This does a better job and it is
safer for the operator.
C A U T I O N
Always check the direction of cutter rotation
before any shaping operation. Cutters rotating
backwards will cause unsafe conditions.

SPEED ChANgES
The Model G1026 Shaper is equipped with a special high speed
V-belt. It is designed to withstand the vibration and sudden shock
loads associated with the operation of a shaper.
To change spindle speeds:
1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE!
2. Loosen the two motor mount bolts and slide the motor toward
the spindle assembly. DO NOT take the bolts out.
3. Move the V-belt to a sheave on the motor and spindle pulleys
to select the desired speed (See Figure 21.)
4. Slide the motor back into position and tighten the belt. When
the belt is properly tensioned, there should
be approximately 1⁄4" of deflection in the
center of the belt when you press it with your
thumb.
