CUTTER FLY-APART HAZARD!
Always use the keyed safety washer! The lock tang
on this washer prevents the shaper cutter bit from
loosening the spindle nut during operation.
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 25.
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).
AMPUTATION/LACERATION
HAZARD!
Accidental contact with a cutter
during operation will remove parts
of fingers or large chunks of flesh.
Safety guards greatly reduce this
risk and must always be used when
operating this machine!
