W1701 1HP Shaper

Assembly

SET UP

LACERATION HAZARD!

Inspect edges of all metal parts before handling them. Some metal parts may have sharp edges, which can cause injury.

To assemble the shaper, do these steps:

1.Lay one stand side on the ground and attach the cross bars with the 8mm carriage bolts, 38" washers, and 8mm hex nuts as shown in Figure 9. DO NOT fully tighten the nuts and bolts at this time.

2.Attach the second stand side to the assembly.

Note: At this point, the assembly will be somewhat wobbly. Have an assistant hold the assembly in place while you attach the nuts and bolts.

3.Place the shaper table upside down on two sturdy blocks that are at least 312" off the ground as shown in Figure 10. Make sure the spindle DOES NOT touch the ground or the weight of the shaper may damage the spindle.

4.Place the stand assembly on the shaper and attach it with the 8mm carriage bolts, 38" washers, and 8mm hex nuts as shown in Figure 10.

side.

5.Have an assistant help you turn the shaper unit over.

6.Level the shaper, then tighten all of the assembly bolts on the stand.

NOTE: Sheet steel will often “spring” after it has been fabricated at the factory, occasionally making it difficult to line up precisely with other parts without a bit of effort. Do not be surprised if the stand requires a bit of “persuasion” to fit together. On the other hand, if the parts just do not seem to work together, try switching parts around (such as the tie bars).

7.Using the 5/16"-20 x 3/4" Phillips head screws, and 5/16" washers, install each fence facing to the fence mount brackets as shown in Figure 11.
