NOTICE
The lock knob keeps the spindle in a fixed
position during shaper operation. Do not
over-tighten the lock knob. A snug fit is all
that is needed to keep the spindle from
moving during shaper operation.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.

The fence assembly is a two-piece, independent-
ly adjustable system. When removing material
from the whole face of your workpiece, the out-
feed fence can be adjusted to provide support
for the workpiece as it passes over the cutter.
The outfeed fence can also be set in-line for par-
tial face removal.
If removing material from the whole face,
observe the following steps:
1.
Loosen the locking handles shown in Figure
34 that hold the fences in place.
Figure 34. Location of fence locking handles.
2.
Adjust the infeed fence by turning the adjust-
ment knobs until the workpiece contacts the
cutter in the desired location.
3.
Lock the infeed fence in position with the
locking handle. Use a test piece to determine
the best setting.
Read the entire manual
before making any cuts
with
your
shaper.
Serious personal injury
may result if safety or
operational information
is not understood or fol-
lowed.
