3. Hold the straight-
edge across both of
the fence faces as
shown in figure 11.
4. If the fence faces are not parallel, place
shims between the back of the fence face and
the face of the fence mount. With some trial
and error shim adjusting, parallel fence faces
can be achieved.
TABLE INSERTS
Two inserts (figure 12)
are provided allow-
ing for three differ-
ent opening sizes to
be achieved. Use the
smallestsize opening
for a cutter to reduce
wood chips falling
into the machine.
Using the smallest-size opening also covers any
unused portion of the bit below the surface of
the table, thus reducing the chance of opera-
tor injury.
RUB COLLARS
When irregularly pieces are shaped, rub collars
are required. There are 2 types of rub collars:
solid and stand bags. They are available in dif-
ferent diameters and may be purchased indi-
vidually or in sets. Examples of when to use a
rub collar is with a high arch or panels, round
tables or other cut that needs to have limited
depth of cut. See examples of adjustment.
NOTE: Before installing cutters, you must plan
the configuration of rub collars and cutters re-
quired for the intended application.
Rub collars limit the
depth of cut and are
typically used with
most cutters, depend-
ing on the profile and
type of cut being per-
formed. (figure 13).
There are three set up positions for rub collars:
ABOVE THE CUTTER as shown in figure 13. This
setup is the safest and
produces the most consistent results.
BETWEEN TWO CUTTERS as shown in figure 14.
This setup has the advantage of making two
profile cuts in a single pass.
BELOW THE CUTTER as shown in figure 15. This
setup allows the cut to be viewed by the op-
erator; however, it is also the most dangerous
because the operator is exposed to the moving
cutter.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SHAPING WITH A
RUB COLLAR BELOW THE CUTTER!
To install cutters and rub collars, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER
SOURCE!
2. Slide the cutter(s) and rub collars onto the
spindle in the correct orientation for your in-
tended cut.
3. Install the keyed safety washer and nut as
shown in figure 16.
4. Thread on and tighten down the spindle
nut with the provided 23mm wrench, while
holding the spindle at the top with an 8mm
wrench, as shown in figure 17.
5. Make sure the cutter rotates freely in the
correct direction needed for the cut (in most
cases this is the FWD direction on the FWD/
REV switch, which is counterclockwise on the
spindle).
6. Install applicable safety guard(s).
MAINTENANCE
Regular periodic maintenance on your Shaper
will ensure its optimum performance. Make a
habit of inspecting your shaper each time you
use it. Check for the following conditions and
repair or replace when necessary:
