SECTION 4: ADJUSTMENTS

Keep
up and out of the way
of machinery and keep
hair pulled back.
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire adjustment
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Pulleys & V-Belt
Improper pulley alignment sharply reduces the
effectiveness of power transmission and belt life
expectancy.
To align the pulleys:
1.
DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the motor cover from the back of the
shaper cabinet to expose the motor and pul-
leys.
3. Check the alignment with a straightedge. If
the pulleys are in alignment, the straightedge
should touch two sides of each pulley evenly
as in Figure 22.
4. If the pulleys are parallel with each other, but
not in line, the motor needs to be adjusted.

5.
This process is easiest with the help of
another person. Loosen the four bolts that
attach the motor to the motor base. One
person should slide the motor either up or
down while the other person measures the
alignment of the motor pulley and the spindle
pulley with a straightedge.
6.
When the motor pulley and the spindle pulley
alignment are correct, tighten the motor to
the motor base.
7. Inspect your results. If satisfactory, double-
check that the mounting bolts are tight.
8.
You can also make small adjustments in the
motor pulley alignment by raising or lowering
it along the motor shaft. To do this, loosen
the two setscrews (one is shown in Figure
22) which are in the lowest groove of the
motor pulley and move the pulley into posi-
tion. Tighten the setscrews when the align-
ment is satisfactory.
