Overload Protection, Raising Lowering Spindle

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The Router/Shaper is equipped with overload protection. If the motor shuts off, or fails to start due to overloading (cutting stock too fast; using dull bits and cutters; using the machine beyond its capacity or at low voltage, etc.),

TURN THE SWITCH (A) FIG. 16, TO THE “OFF” POSITION. Let the motor cool three to five minutes and push the overload reset button (C) which will reset the overload device. The machine can then be turned on again in the usual manner.

RAISING AND

LOWERING SPINDLE

To raise the spindle, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 17, and turn the elevation knob (B) clockwise. When the spindle is at the desired height, tighten lock knob (A).

To lower the spindle, loosen lock knob (A) Fig. 17, and turn elevation knob (B) counterclockwise. NOTE: Final height setting of the cutter should always be from the bottom to the up position. Always tighten lock knob (A) after adjusting spindle height.

The Router/Shaper is equipped with a spindle height adjustment scale (C) Fig. 17, and spindle height indicator

(D). The spindle height indicator moves up or down as the spindle is raised or lowered.

FENCE ADJUSTMENTS

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

Either half of the two-piece fence assembly (A) Fig. 18, can be moved independently. To adjust each fence half, loosen lock knob (B) and move fence half (A) to the desired position depending on the work being performed. Then tighten lock knob (B).

In order to do accurate work, both wooden fence halves must be parallel with each other.

To check and adjust, move both fence halves in or out until they are in line with each other. Using a straight edge check to see if both fence halves are parallel with each other the complete length of the fences. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen four socket head cap screws (C) Fig. 18, located on the fence bracket casting directly in front of and in back of lock knobs (B) Fig. 18, and adjust the fences accordingly. Then tighten the four screws.

To adjust each wooden fence half (C) Fig. 19, for side to side movement, loosen screw (D) and move wooden fence (C) as needed. IMPORTANT: Each wooden fence half (C) should be adjusted as close to the cutter as possible, without touching. Once adjustments are made, retighten screw (D).
