Test Run
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to start the machine.
DO NOT have a cutter installed when you test run the shaper. Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the ON button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the OFF button, just in case there is a problem. The shaper should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing nois- es. Strange or unnatural noises should be inves- tigated and corrected before operating the machine further.
If the shaper seems to be running correctly, check the directional switch. The spindle should be rotating in a counterclockwise direction when the switch is in the FWD position. Run the Model G8621 for a short time to ensure that the moving parts are working properly with no excessive vibration. If any problem develops, correct it before attempting to use the machine.
If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises, immediately contact our service department for help.
Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.
Never use the Model G8621 for applications other than those for which it was intended. DO NOT overload the machine or use excessive force when shaping materials. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur.
