3. RAISING AND LOWERING THE SPINDLE
The Spindle can be
raised or lowered by
loosening the stabi-
lizer knob (Fig.15-E)
and turning the hand-
wheel (C).
To raise the spindle height, turn the handwheel
clockwise. To lower the spindle height, turn the
handwheel counter clockwise. The adjustable
scale(D) on the front of the shaper shows the
height of the spindle and can be positioned to
set your zero mark at multiple locations. Once
the spindle is in the desired location you can
stabilize the position by turning the knob(B)
located on the side of the machine.
4. FENCE POSITIONING
The two faces of the fence are independent of
one another and can be set at different posi-
tions to allow for different shaping tasks.
To adjust:
1. Loosen lock lever
(Fig.16-F).
2. Adjust the position
of the fence by turn-
ing the adjustment
knob (G)
3. When the fence is in the desired position,
retighten the lock lever.
4. Repeat this process for the other side of the
fence (if necessary).
NOTICE: There are two sets of holes on the
table top for attaching the fence. The most
common set-up positions the fence so that it
runs parallel to the miter slot. The fence can,
however, be rotated 90 from the position by
using the second set of holes in the table top.
5. FENCE ALIGNMENT
Before using the shaper, it is important to
make sure that the two fence faces are paral-
lel. Use the following steps to ensure the paral-
lelism of the two fence halves.
1. Use a straight edge
that is long enough to
span the length of the
entire fence and posi-
tion it up against both
fence halves (Fig.17-
H).

NOTICE: Before placing the straight edge up
against the fence. Make certain that the fence
lock knob (G) are securely tightened.
2. Adjust the fence faces so that they are as
close as possible to the same parallel position.
3. if the fence face are not parallel. place shims
between the back of fence piece and the face
fence mount, with some trial and error shim
adjusting, parallel fence faces can be achieved.
6. BELT TENSION
The belt tension is set at the factory and should
not need adjustment on initial setup. The belt
will need occasional adjustment as the belt will
stretch over time. The belt should yield 1/4''
of deflection when squeezed together at the
midpoint. To adjust belt tension:
WARNING: Make certain that the shaper is
disconnected from the power source.
1. Loosen the two hex
head bolts (Fig.18-I).
2. Slide the motor and
bracket assembly (J)
away from the spindle
cartridge (K) until the
slack is removed from
the belt.
3. Retighten the two hex bolts loosened in
step1.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection.
Any machine can throw debris into the eyes
during operations, which could cause severe
and permanent eye damage. Everyday eye-
glasses are NOT safety glasses. ALWAYS wear
Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI stan-
dard Z87.1) when operating power tools.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear a NIOSH/OSHA
approved dust mask to prevent inhaling dan-
gerous dust or airborne particles.
The following section as designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of this
shaper. It is strong hat you read books, trade
magazines, or get formal training to maximize
the potential of your shaper and to minimize
the risks.
