Setting
beveller power cord into a properly grounded out-
let/extension. All indicator lights should be illuminated.
Assume a proper operating position (Figure 19).
• Stand at the back of the machine, facing the hand
crank with good access to the ON/OFF switch. In
case of emergency you must be able to turn the
machine OFF.
• Be sure you have good balance and do not have
to overreach.
Depress the ON button (I). After motor comes up to
speed, yellow indicator lights should be ON.

8. Using a smooth continuous clockwise rotation of the
cutter feed screw (Figure 18); engage the cutter head
into the work piece until the stop contacts the land
width adjustment gage. Do not use cutting oil or
coolant.
9. Tighten the gib plate locking screw to lock the cutter
head into position (Figure 15). If gib plate locking
screw is not securely tightened, the cutting inserts
could become damaged.
10. Insert the hand crank into the drive shaft or extension.
Using a controlled uninterrupted motion, start rotating
the hand crank in a clockwise direction to bevel
(Figure 20).
It is important to provide proper rotational speed to
prolong the life of the cutting inserts. Monitor the LED
indicator lights on the rear of the unit. Green indi-
cates the proper speed. Yellow indicates that you
need to rotate the handle faster, Red indicates to rotate the handle slower. (See Figure 21.)
The crank should only turn clockwise when viewed
from the back of the beveller. Do not drive the beveller
with a drill, impact or other power tool – drive by
hand only. Do not use cutting oil or coolant.
