DeWalt 43-459, 43-460 Reversing Spindle Rotation, Shaping When Using the Fence AS a Guide

REVERSING SPINDLE ROTATION

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

The motor is equipped with a reversing switch (X) Fig. 19, located on the motor junction box.

Never attempt to reverse the rotation of the spindle with the motor running.

OPERATIONS

The following examples show set-up and operational procedures when using the fence, collars, and starting pin. Please review this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

SHAPING WHEN USING THE FENCE AS A GUIDE

Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping. Most straight work can be shaped using the fence described below.

1.	For average work, where a portion of the original edge of
	the work is not touched by the cutter, both the front and
	rear fences are in a straight line (Fig. 21).
2.	When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of
	the work (jointing or making a full bead), the shaped edge
	will not be supported by the rear fence when both fences
	are in line (Fig. 22). In this case, advance the work to the
	position shown in Fig. 22 and stop.
3.	Advance the rear fence to contact the work (Fig. 23),
		Fig. 21
	putting it in line with the cutting circle.

SHAPING WITH COLLARS AND STARTING PIN

When shaping with collars and starting pin, follow the rules below for superior finishing and safety in operation.

1.Free the collars of ALL gum or other substances, and confirm that they are smooth.

2.Confirm that the edge of the work is smooth. ANY irregularity in the surface that rides against the collar will be duplicated on the molded surface.

3.A portion of the edge of the work MUST remain untouched by the cutters in order for the collar to have sufficient bearing surface. The right method is shown in Fig. 24, while Fig. 25 illustrates the wrong method.

4.The work MUST be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut being made (Fig. 25). Under NO circumstances should short work of light body be shaped against the collars (Fig. 27).

5.When shaping with collars and starting pin, use the spindle guard supplied with the machine.
