Before making any adjustments or conversions to the Mini Shaper, make sure the switch is in the 'OFF' position and the power cord is
UNPLUGGED.
Be sure the Table Insert (REF 16) is installed and not in contact with the cutter prior to operation.
The cutter rotates in a counterclockwise direction. Be careful to mount the cutter with the cutting face toward the infeed as it rotates. See Figure
15.If mounted
Figure 15.
The G8693 Mini Shaper is equipped with a removable 1⁄2'' Stub Shaft and a 1⁄4'' router bit col- let. See Figure 16.
Before making any adjustments or conversions to the Mini Shaper, make sure the switch is in the 'OFF' position and the power cord is
UNPLUGGED.
Remove any dirt or wood chips found in the top of the spindle. Place the Collet (REF 62) into the Spindle (REF 39) and thread the Router Nut (REF 63) down over the Collet, leaving it loose enough to insert the shank of a Router Bit. Insert a Router Bit into the Collet at least 5⁄8'' and tight- en the Router Nut only until you cannot turn the bit by hand while holding the Spindle (REF 39) with the 5⁄8'' Wrench (REF 57).
Some height adjustment can be made by raising or lowering the Router Bit in the Collet. For further height adjustment, refer to instructions on Spindle Height on page 15.
To change Router Bits or to remove the Collet assembly, hold the Spindle in place with the 5⁄8'' Wrench while loosening the Router nut with the 1'' Wrench. The Router bit should ‘pop’ loose from the Collet and pull out. Be careful that wood chips and dirt do not get inside the Spindle as they may damage the tapered faces.
Be sure to follow the instructions in the ASSEM- BLY chapter when returning the tool to the Shaper configuration using the Stub Shaft.
