Changing
Cutter Rotation
IMPORTANT: Always verify the direction of the
cutter rotation before any shaping operation. The
cutting operation should feed AGAINST direction
of cutter rotation.
The G0900 is equipped with a FOR/REV
(forward/reverse) switch, as shown in
Figure 23.
In most cases, the shaper should be run in the
FOR direction.

dle. When belt is properly tensioned, there
should be approximately
1
⁄
4
" of deflection
in the center of the belt when you press it
with your thumb. Refer to
V-Belt Tension &
Replacement on Page 45.
5. Spin pulley by hand to ensure proper tracking.
6. Close access door.
Changing
Spindle Speed
The Model G0900 Shaper is equipped with a spe-
cial high-speed V-belt. It is designed to withstand
the vibration and sudden shock loads associated
with the operation of a shaper.
To change spindle speeds:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Open cabinet access door, then release belt
tension by pulling the motor bracket handle
(see
Figure 24).
In some instances, it will be necessary to flip the
cutter over and reverse the cutter rotation.
Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the stock
is milled on the bottom side (the side away from
the operator). This does a better job and it is safer
for the operator. Refer to
Using Rub Collars,
Page 30.
