Operation
Spindle Control
To raise or lower spindle:
1. Loosen spindle lock handle (A, Figure 9). Turn
handle counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Raise or lower spindle to desired height by
turning handwheel (B, Figure 9).
3. Turn spindle lock handle clockwise to tighten.
Using the Fence as a Guide
Shaping with the fence is the safest and most
satisfactory method of working. This method
should always be used when work permits. Almost
all straight work can be used with the fence.
1. For most work, where a portion of the edge of
the work is not touched by the cutter, both the
front and rear fences are in a straight line, as
shown in Figure 10.
2. When removing the entire edge of the work
piece (i.e., jointing or making a full bead), the
shaped edge will not be supported by the rear
fence when both fences are in line (see Figure
11). In this case, the work piece should be
advanced to the position shown in Figure 11
and stopped.
3. Advance the rear fence to contact the work as
shown in Figure 12. This places the rear fence
in line with the cutting circle.
Shaping with Collars and Starting Pin
Follow these rules when shaping with collars and
starting pin for safest operation and best results:
1. Collars must be smooth and free from all gum
or other substances.
2. The edge of the work must be smooth. Any
irregularity in the surface which rides against
the collar will be duplicated on the shaped
surface.
3. A portion of the work's edge must remain
untouched by the cutter so that the collar will
have sufficient bearing surface. See Figure 13
for an example of insufficient bearing surface.
Figure 14 shows sufficient bearing surface.
4. The work must be heavy in proportion to the
cut being made (see Figure 15). Under no
circumstances should a small workpiece be
shaped against the collars as shown in Figure
16.
