GUARD CONTROLS
AND ADJUSTMENTS
DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE.
The spring clamp (A) Fig. 52, holddown (B), and clear plastic guard (C) are fully adjustable to provide safe protection for most applications. NOTE: For certain applications, the supplied spindle guard may have to be used or a custom guard may need to be fabricated.
1.Using a square (not shown), check to see if shaft (D) Fig. 52, on spring clamp (A) is 90 degrees to the table surface. If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
Lift up on guard locking handle (E) Fig. 53, loosen lock nut (F) and turn screw (G) until shaft (D) is 90 degrees to the table surface; then tighten lock nut (F).
Push down on guard locking handle (E) Figs. 53 and 54, until it locks in place as shown in Fig. 54. If the locking action is too loose or tight, loosen screw (H) and adjust cam washer (J), then tighten screw (H). Repeat this adjustment on the screw and cam washer located on the other side of guard locking handle (E).
2.Adjust holddown (B) Fig. 55, by placing a piece of material which will be used on the table as shown. Loosen thumb screws on guard mounting bracket (K) and adjust holddown (B) over top of workpiece to provide some downward pressure and tighten thumb screws.
3.Adjust clear plastic guard (L) Fig. 55, by loosening thumb screws on guard mounting bracket (M) and locating the guard so it will deflect the wood chips and provide protection from reaching the cutter; then retighten thumb screws.
