FIGURE 1
FEED STOCK opposite to the direction of the
cutter rotation. Never back stock out of the cutter
once the cut has been started. Instead, pull the
stock straight back away from cutter and begin the
cut again. See Figure 2.
FIGURE 2
COLLARS: When shaping with collars, the collar
must have sufficient bearing surface (see page 11).
The work must also be fairly heavy in proportion to
the cut being made. Do not use short, lightweight
stock when shaping against collars.
THE OPENING between the fence plates should
be only just enough to clear the cutter.
EDGE SHAPING: Always use the miter gauge
and clamp attachment when edge shaping stock
less than 6" wide. The fence should be removed
during this operation.
SAFETY LOCK WASHER: Never operate the
shaper without the safety locking keyed washer
located immediately under the spindle nut, Figure
3. This prevents the nut from coming loose when
the spindle is run in a counterclockwise direction.
Do not substitute any other type washer in place of
the safety lock washer.
FIGURE 4
BE SURE the special arbor nut and the draw bar
are tightened on the arbor.
MISUSE: Do not use this shaper for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes,
POWERMATIC disclaims any real or implied
warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury
which may result from that use.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: Use only
POWERMATIC or factory authorized replacement
parts and accessories; otherwise, the shaper
warranty and guarantee will be null and void.
