CHECKING AND ALIGNING
MOTOR PULLEY TO
SPINDLE
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Lift up latch (A) Fig. 34, pull out and lower front panel
(B), as shown.
3. Loosen belt tension knob (C) Fig. 35
4. PIace belt (D) Fig. 35, on largest step of motor pulley
(E). Slide belt (D) up or down on spindle sleeve so belt is
horizontal. Tighten belt tension knob (C) ONLY enough
to hold belt in position. Make sure motor mounting nuts
(F) are loose enough to shift motor. Rotate the smallest
step of the motor pulley (E) by hand and check to see if
the belt is tracking properly and rides true on the pulley.
If the belt is not riding true on the motor pulley, tilt the
motor and continue to rotate pulley (E). When you are
certain the motor pulley is aligned properly with the
spindle, tighten the four motor mounting nuts (F) and
tighten belt tension knob (C) until it ratchets.
5. After the shaper is connected to the power source,
jog the motor on and off to check if the belt is tracking
properly. If it is not, loosen three of the four motor
mounting nuts (F) Fig. 35, and tilt the motor until the belt
is tracking properly. Then tighten the nuts.
The following is an example of the setting up and operational procedures when using the fence, collars and
starting pin. Please review this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid damage to the
machine or personal injury.
SHAPING WHEN USING
THE FENCE AS A GUIDE
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory
method of shaping, and this method should always be
used when the work permits. Almost all straight work
can be shaped using the fence as follows:
1. For average work, where a portion of the original
edge of the work is not touched by the cutter, both the
front and rear fences are in a straight line, as shown in
Fig. 36.
2. When the shaping operation removes the entire
edge of the work e.g., in jointing or making a full bead,
the shaped edge will not be supported by the rear fence
when both fences are in line, as shown in Fig. 37. In this
case, the work should be advanced to the position
shown in Fig. 37 and stopped.
3. The rear fence should then be advanced to contact
the work, as shown in Fig. 38. The rear fence will then be
in line with the cutting circle.
