5.Use a straightedge to align the fences with the edge of the guide bearing.
6.Align the bottom edge of the shaper cutter with the top, or slightly below the top of the table.
7.Before turning the shaper ON, place a test rail on against the miter gauge finished face up and slide it against the fence.
8.Turn ON the shaper and slide the miter gauge and test rail through the shaper cutter as shown in Figure B.
These instructions are intended for COUNTERCLOCKWISE spindle operation only. DO NOT operate the shaper in the clockwise direction to make a climb cut. If this warning is ignored, the workpiece can kick forward, and may pull the hand into the shaper cutter, causing severe injury or death!

To cut the stile edges:
1.Unplug the shaper!
2.Place the bushing into the hole in the profile cut- ter from the bottom, as shown in Figure C, and slide both onto the spindle.
