ASSEMBLING SPINDLE GUARD
A 4-1/2 diameter spindle guard is supplied as standard equipment and is supplied with a 1/2 bushing which
enables the guard to be used with both the 1/2 and 3/4 spindles.
CAUTION: The diameter of the spindle guard should be at least 1
more than the maximum cutting cir-
cle of the shaper cutter and the height of the guard should not exceed 1/4
above the material.
To assemble the spindle guard, proceed as follows:
MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
1.
Two 1/2 I.D. and two 3/4 I.D. washers are supplied
with the 4-1/2 diameter spindle guard to accommodate
1/2 and 3/4 spindles. These washers are to be posi-
tioned directly above and below the spindle guard. Place
one of the washers (A) on the spindle, over either the
cutter or collar, as shown in Fig. 38.
2.
Place the spindle guard (B) Fig. 39, on the spindle,
then place the other washer (C) and “keyed” washer (D)
on the spindle as shown.
3.
Thread spindle nut (E) Fig. 40, onto spindle, then
place one wrench on flats on top of spindle and one
wrench on spindle nut (E) and tighten as shown.
4.
IMPORTANT: Always place “keyed” washer (D)
Fig. 39, on spindle before screwing on spindle nut (E)
Fig. 40. The “keyed” washer (D) Fig. 39, prevents the
spindle nut (E) Fig. 40, from loosening when the spin-
dle turns counterclockwise
