G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper -23-
SECTION 6: OPERATION
Figure 32. Control panel.
Rotation
Your shaper is equipped with a forward and
reverse switch as shown in
Figure 32. In many
instances, it will be necessary to flip the cutter
over and reverse the cutter rotation. Whenever
possible, mount the cutter so the board is milled
on the bottom side. This method does a better job
and is safer for the operator.
Always check the direction of cutter rota-
tion before beginning any shaping opera-
tion, and always feed work against the
direction of the cutter rotation.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing all operations on the
shaper. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Always wear a dust
mask when operating
the shaper. Using this
machine produces saw-
dust which may cause
allergic reactions or res-
piratory problems.
NOTICE
This machine was designed to be started
and stopped with the ON/OFF buttons—not
the reversing switch.
NOTICE
The following section was designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of this
shaper. However, it is in no way compre-
hensive of every shaper application. There
are many different jigs that can be built to
increase safety, accuracy, and variety of
cuts. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that
you read books, trade magazines, or get for-
mal training to maximize the potential of
your shaper.
