Read through the entire manual carefully
before attempting to make any cuts with
your shaper. Otherwise, serious personal
injury could occur.
Changing Rotation
Always check the direction of the cutter rota-
tion before any shaping operation.
Your shaper is equipped with a FWD/REV (for-
ward and reverse) switch as shown in Figure 15.
In most cases, the shaper should be run in the
FWD direction. If you are using router bits, always
run the shaper in the FWD direction. Router bits
are not designed to run backwards.
In some instances, it will be necessary to flip
the cutter over and reverse the cutter rotation.
Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the
board is milled on the bottom side (the side away
from the operator). This does a better job and it is
safer for the operator.
