Model G0900 (Mfd. Since 03/20)
-19-
Each of the two spindles that come with the Model
G0900 is sized to work efficiently with different
sized cutters and spacers. The spindles must
be inserted correctly and remain securely locked
in the machine in order to produce quality work.
When installing and changing spindles, make
sure the spindle seats snugly and that there is
enough drawbar threaded into the bottom of the
spindle to safely secure it in place.
To install a spindle:
1. Unlock spindle seat by pulling spindle assem-
bly lock handle and turning
1
⁄
4
turn (see
Figure 14). Turn V-belt and pulleys until click
can be heard.
Incorrect assembly can allow the spindle
and cutter to fly off the machine, which
could cause injury or death. Make certain
the spindle is properly assembled before
operating the shaper. If you are uncertain of
any aspect of this assembly, please review
these instructions again or contact our
Customer Service.
