To assemble the shaper, do these steps:
1. Lay one stand side on the ground and attach the
cross bars with the 8mm carriage bolts, 3 ⁄
8
" washers,
and 8mm hex nuts as shown in Figure 9. DO NOT
fully tighten the nuts and bolts at this time.
2. Attach the second stand side to the assembly.
Note: At this point, the assembly will be somewhat
wobbly. Have an assistant hold the assembly in
place while you attach the nuts and bolts.
3. Place the shaper table upside down on two sturdy
blocks that are at least 3 1 ⁄
2
" off the ground as shown
in Figure 10. Make sure the spindle DOES NOT touch
the ground or the weight of the shaper may damage
the spindle.
4. Place the stand assembly on the shaper and attach it
with the 8mm carriage bolts, 3 ⁄
8
" washers, and 8mm
hex nuts as shown in Figure 10.
5. Have an assistant help you turn the shaper unit over.
6. Level the shaper, then tighten all of the assembly
bolts on the stand.
NOTE: Sheet steel will often “spring” after it has been
fabricated at the factory, occasionally making it difficult
to line up precisely with other parts without a bit of
effort. Do not be surprised if the stand requires a bit of
“persuasion” to fit together. On the other hand, if the
parts just do not seem to work together, try switching
parts around (such as the tie bars).
7. Using the 5/16"-20 x 3/4" Phillips head screws, and
5/16" washers, install each fence facing to the fence
mount brackets as shown in Figure 11.
LACERATION HAZARD!
Inspect edges of all metal parts
before handling them. Some metal
parts may have sharp edges, which
can cause injury.
