Shaper Cutter Installation
Note:
Spindle
installation is described in the
previous section.
When changing tools, making
adjustments, or doing clean-up and maint-
enance, always turn the machine off and
unplug the machine from its power source.
Locking the Spindle
1. Locate the
spindle lock
directly above the
cabinet door. Pull out and rotate 90º right
or
left, resetting the knob into the indent.
Attempt to turn the
spindle assembly
(B, Fig. 11) by hand to verify that it is locked
and will not rotate.
Installing the Shaper Cutter
Referring to Figure 12:
2. Using an 8mm hex wrench (provided), remove
the
socket head cap screw
(F).
3. Remove
the
washer
(E),
keyed collar
(C) and
all or as many
collars
(B) as necessary.
4. Place
the
shaper
cutter
(A)
(not included) onto
the spindle, oriented in the proper direction.
5. Place
the
collars
(B) and
keyed collar
(C) onto
the spindle.
Note:
Collars
come in several widths and the
stacked selection (B) must be such that the top
of the
keyed collar
(C) sits slightly above the
top of the
spindle
(D). This will ensure
sufficient pressure to properly secure the
shaper cutter (
A) when installation is complete.
6. Replace
the
washer
(E) and
socket head cap
screw
(F). Tighten screw with the
8mm
hex
wrench provided.
Unlocking the Spindle
7. Pull
out
the
spindle lock
located above the
door on the right side of the cabinet. Rotate
90º right
or
left, resetting the knob into the
indent.
Using gloves to prevent injury from the
shaper cutter, turn the
spindle assembly
by
hand to verify that it turns freely.
