the spindle.

Check cutter rotation.
3.
Adjust the spindle height to align the work-
piece to the cutter. See the spindle height
section for details.
4.
Lock the spindle height into position.
5.
Position the fences for your desired depth of
cut. See the fence adjustment section for
details.

Use a hold-down, or other safety device (see
Figures 16 and 17), and put on your safety
glasses and dust mask.
7.
Make a sample cut on a scrap piece of wood
to check your adjustments.

If everything is correct, run your stock
through the shaper using your left hand to
support the workpiece against the fence and
your right hand to feed (if the rotation is coun-
terclockwise) as shown in
Figure 18. Switch
hands for clockwise rotation. Note—
Only use
the miter gauge to shape the ends of your
workpiece.
