C. SPINDLE ELEVATION

The Model G1024 Shaper features a locking spindle which can be adjusted for up to 7/8" of vertical movement. To adjust the height of the spindle:

1.Loosen the locking knob on the right-hand side of the shaper.

2.Reaching under the shaper table, move the vertical adjustment lever right or left until the spin- dle reaches its desired height. See Figure 15.

3.Re-tighten the locking knob.

4.Run a test piece through the shaper to verify that the spindle is set at the desired height and re- adjust as necessary.

REMEMBER: Always make sure that the shaper’s power switch is in in the “OFF” position and that the machine is disconnected from its power source before attempting to make adjustments to the machine or the shaper cutter. Never attempt to adjust the machine while the cutters are spinning.

E. CUTTER DIRECTION

Your shaper is equipped with a toggle FORWARD/REVERSE switch, located at the rear of the shaper. See Figure 16. Many shaper cutters are manufactured for both clockwise and counter- clockwise rotation, allowing you to cut above or below the board. Whenever possible, attach the cut- ter so the board is milled on the bottom side. This does a better job and it is safer for the operator.

CAUTION: Always check the direction of cutter rotation before any shaping operation. While many cutters are designed to be used in both directions, some are not. Make sure that the cutter you’re using is intended for use in both directions before attempting to reverse it. Whenever using your shaper, make sure that your workpiece is fed against the direction of the cutter rotation. A workpiece fed into a cutter from the wrong direction may be thrown by the cutter, possibly causing injury to the user or any bystanders.
