Foot Brake
The Model G9862/G9968 comes with a foot
brake to stop or slow the cutter immediately after
use. To ensure proper function and wear, this
brake should be inspected and/or adjusted. To
inspect the foot brake:
1.
Locate the brake pad shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16. Brake pad.
2.
Press the brake pedal (shown in Figure 17)
to visually inspect how the brake pad hits the
spindle pulley.
Figure 17. Brake pedal.
The flat surfaces of the brake pad and the under-
side of the pulley should meet evenly for proper
wear. If these surfaces do not meet evenly, then
you need to adjust the bracket that mounts the
foot brake.

To adjust the brake pad bracket:
1.
Locate the two mounting bolts that mount the
bracket to the spindle seat assembly.
2.
Loosen the two bolts with the 17mm wrench
provided with the shaper.
3.
Slide the bracket in the desired direction
then tighten the bolts enough to inspect the
brake pad function. If the brake pad meets
the spindle pulley evenly, as described
before, then snug the mounting bolts tight. If
the brake pad still does not meet the under-
side of the spindle evenly, then repeat steps
1-3.
Test Run
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to start
the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there's a problem. The shaper should run
smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing nois-
es. Strange or unnatural noises should be inves-
tigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
Run the Model G9862/G9968 for a short time to
ensure that the moving parts are working proper-
ly with no excessive vibration. If any problem
develops, correct it before attempting to use the
machine.
If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises
or cannot fix any problems that arise, immediate-
ly contact our service department for help.
