to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run
your machines in any foreseeable operation.
ASSEMBLY
WARNINGS
· Disconnect from power source when perform-
ing any maintenance, assembly or adjustment.
Failure to do this may result in serious personal
injury.
· Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
· Wear safety glasses during the entire assem-
bly process. Failure to comply may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
ASSEMBLING SHAPER TO STAND
1. Lay one stand side
on the ground and
attach the cross bars
with
the
carriage
bolts, washers, and
hex nuts as shown in
figure 1. DO NOT fully
tighten the nuts and
bolts at this time.
2. Attach the second stand side to the assem-
bly.
Note: At this point, the assembly will be some-
what wobbly. Have an assistant hold the as-
sembly in place while you attach the nuts and
bolts.
3. Place the shaper
table
upside
down
on two sturdy blocks
that are at least off
the ground as shown
in figure 2. Make sure
the spindle DOES NOT touch the ground or the
weight of the shaper may damage the spindle.
4. Place the stand assembly on the shaper and
attach it with the carriage bolts, washers, and
hex nuts as shown in figure 4.
5. Have an assistant help you turn the shaper
unit over.
6. Level the shaper, then tighten all of the as-
sembly bolts on the stand.
NOTE: Sheet steel will often "spring" after it
has been fabricated at the factory, occasion-
ally making it difficult to line up precisely with
other parts without a bit of effort. Do not be
surprised if the stand requires a bit of "persua-
sion" to fit together.
On the other hand, if the parts just do not
seem to work together, try switching parts
around (such as the tie bars).
7. Using the head
screws, and washers,
install
each
facing to the fence
mount
shown in figure 3.
8. For custom fence facing, make sure the
screw heads are countersunk completely below
the surface of the fence face.
9. Connect the safety
guard bar to the safe-
ty guard shaft with
two bolts and the flat
washers. See figure 4.
10. Connect the safety guard to the safety
guard bar with two head screws and nuts.
11. Position the extension bar and safety guard
on the main fence housing and install the T-
Fig.1
lock handle.
12. Position the guard as close as possible to
the spindle/ cutter without impeding the feed-
ing path of the workpiece.
13. Place an 8mm
open-end wrench on
top the spindle (see
figure 5).
Fig.2
14. Using a 14mm
open-end wrench on
the drawbar nut, (fig-
ure 6), make sure the
drawbar nut is tight,
but DO NOT over-
tighten the drawbar
nut.
NOTE: This is an important safety measure that
must be done before the Test Run on the next
page.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Complete this process once you have familiar-
ized yourself with all instructions in this manu-
al. To test run the shaper, do these steps:
1. Read the entire instruction manual first, so
you are familiar with all controls and functions
of the shaper.
