Spindle RPM
This shaper spindle
can be run at 7,000
or 10,000 RPM. The
speed is changed by
the placement of the
V-belt as shown in
figure 15.
To change the spindle RPM, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Loosen the two spindle slide bolts holding
the motor mount plate to the spindle slide as
shown in figure 16. DO NOT remove the bolts
completely.
3. Position the V-belt on the pulleys according
to the desired spindle speed.
4. Slide the motor and motor mount plate as-
sembly until the V-belt is snug and tighten the
bolts. The amount of V-belt deflection should
be 1⁄4" when pressed with your thumb.
5. Tighten all fasteners securely.
6. Make sure the V-belt is correctly aligned on
both pulleys.

Spindle Slide and Gib
The spindle slide-to-gib clearance may need
adjusting so there is no play when pressure
is applied to the spindle. Gib adjustments are
made by loosening or tightening some or all
of the four setscrews on the side of the eleva-
tion housing as shown in figure 17.
To check the spindle slide-to-gib clearance, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Turn the handwheel until the spindle is in
the highest position.
3. Lock the spindle in place by tightening the
spindle lock handle on the side of the shaper.
4. Grasp and wiggle the top of the spindle to
see if there is side-to-side movement. If there is
movement, adjust the gib to remove this play.

To adjust the spindle slide-to-gib clearance, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2. Loosen the setscrew jam nuts.
3. Slowly turn the four setscrews. Alternate
between the top and bottom so the pressure
will be uniform.
4. Tighten the hex nuts while holding the set-
screws in position.
5. Recheck the spindle slide up and down
movement. No play should exist and the
spindle should move up-and-down smoothly. It
may take several attempts to adjust the spindle
slide-to-gib clearance to get the spindle to
move up and down smoothly.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

START UP
Once assembly is complete and adjustments
have been made, the shaper is ready for start
up. Always pay attention for any unusual
noises and vibrations on every start up, as well
as make sure the shaper operates as intended.
1. MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCE, ANY ACCES-
SORIES, JIGS, SPINDLE, CUTTER, OR ROUTER
BIT ADAPTER BEING USED IS TIGHT AND NO
LOOSE ITEMS ARE ON THE TABLE.
2. Put your safety glasses on, and turn on the
shaper by turning the switch to the forward
position. Be sure to have your finger poised to
turn off the machine if there is a problem.
3. Once the machine is running, listen and ob-
serve for any unusual noises coming from the
shaper. The shaper should run smoothly with
little or no vibrations.
• If there is an unusual noise or vibration, shut
the machine off immediately. DO NOT run the
shaper any further until the problems are cor-
rected.
• If the problem continues and cannot be eas-
ily identified, contact our customer service
department.
