HANDWHEEL
The cast iron handwheel comes installed from
the factory; however, you will need to install
the crank handle and for each revolution of
the handwheel, the spindle moves approxi-
mately 1.145mm.
To install the crank handle, do these steps:
1. Thread the crank
handle into the hole
on the face of the
handwheel as shown
in figure 3.
2. Using a 14 mm open
end wrench, tighten
the crank handle securely, making sure the
wheel rotates freely.
SPINDLE
To install the shaper spindle or router bit
spindle, do these steps every time in this order:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Thread one end
of the drawbar into
the bottom end of
the
desired
spindle
approximately
10-15
turns, shown in figure
4, until tight.
3. Insert the spindle/drawbar assembly into
the spindle cartridge from the top side of the
table.

4. Observe and make
sure the spindle key-
way on the spindle
lines
up
with
the
guide pin on the spin-
dle cartridge as shown
in figure 5.
5. Lower the spindle/drawbar assembly until
the guide pin splines with the spindle keyway
and the spindle/drawbar assembly fully seats
into the tapered bore of the spindle cartridge.
When correctly installed, you will feel the
spindle/drawbar assembly snugly seat with the
spindle cartridge.
6. Thread the tapered
drawbar nut onto the
end of the drawbar
under the table, and
make sure that the
taper side of the nut
is facing upward as
shown in figure 6.
7. Tighten your selected spindle in the shaper
as outlined below:
• For shaper spindles: place the spindle wrench
on the top end of the spindle.
Using a 14 mm open
end wrench, tighten
the drawbar nut while
holding the spindle
wrench
secure
as
shown in figure 7. DO
NOT over tighten the
drawbar nut.
• For router bit spindles: hold the router bit
spindle flat on the shank—NOT the collet nut.
Using a 14 mm open end wrench, tighten the
drawbar nut while holding the router bit spin-
dle in position with a wrench. DO NOT over
tighten the drawbar nut.
