5. Use a straightedge to align the fences with the

edge of the guide bearing.

6. Align the bottom edge of the shaper cutter with

the top, or slightly below the top of the table.

7. Before turning the shaper ON, place a test rail

on against the miter gauge finished face up and
slide it against the fence.


Note—We recommend using a back-up piece of
wood behind the rail to prevent tear-out.

8. Turn ON the shaper and slide the miter gauge

and test rail through the shaper cutter as shown
in

Figure B.

Note—The workpiece must always be fed
against the cutter rotation and the full depth of
profile should be made in one pass to ensure a
precise cut.

Cutting Stiles

To cut the stile edges:

1. Unplug the shaper!

2. Place the bushing into the hole in the profile cut-

ter from the bottom, as shown in

Figure C, and

slide both onto the spindle.

4. Thread the spindle nut against the bushing and

tighten it with a wrench.

5. Check the alignment of the fences with the edge

of the guide bearing with a straightedge. This
should already be aligned from

6. Align the bottom edge of the shaper cutter with

the top, or slightly below the top of the table.

7. Turn ON the shaper and slide a test stile, face

up, through the shaper cutter.

Note—The workpiece must always be fed
against the cutter rotation and the full depth of
profile should be made in one pass to ensure a
precise cut.

8. Turn ON the shaper and slide a test stile, face

up, through the shaper cutter.

9. Place the test stile and rail together to check for

a smooth fit.

BACK-UP

BOARD

These instructions are intended for

COUNTERCLOCKWISE spindle operation only.

DO NOT operate the shaper in the clockwise

direction to make a climb cut. If this warning

is ignored, the workpiece can kick forward,

and may pull the hand into the shaper cutter,

causing severe injury or death!
