NOTICE

The lock knob keeps the spindle in a fixed position during shaper operation. Do not over-tighten the lock knob. A snug fit is all that is needed to keep the spindle from moving during shaper operation.

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.

G8621 Heavy-Duty Sliding Table Shaper

Read the entire manual before making any cuts with your shaper. Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational information is not understood or fol- lowed.

The fence assembly is a two-piece, independent- ly adjustable system. When removing material from the whole face of your workpiece, the out- feed fence can be adjusted to provide support for the workpiece as it passes over the cutter. The outfeed fence can also be set in-line for par- tial face removal.

If removing material from the whole face, observe the following steps:

1.Loosen the locking handles shown in Figure 34 that hold the fences in place.

Figure 34. Location of fence locking handles.

2.Adjust the infeed fence by turning the adjust- ment knobs until the workpiece contacts the cutter in the desired location.

3.Lock the infeed fence in position with the locking handle. Use a test piece to determine the best setting.
