ADJUSTMENTS
Control Panel Instructions
The elements of the control panel are as follows:
(See Figure 24).
A. power indicator
B. on-off switch
C. forward/reverse switch
D. start indicator
E. emergency stop
1. Make certain the spindle lock is disengaged as
explained in the section "Spindle Lock" and that the
cabinet door is closed. Be sure there is no conflict
with the cutterhead, and that any bystanders are clear
of moving parts.
2. Rotate the forward/reverse switch (C) to the de-
sired setting. Rotate the start switch (B) to the right to
start the machine. The start switch is magnetic; as
soon as the machine is started, the switch will return
to the center position as shown.
WARNING: Never attempt to reverse the
rotation of the spindle while the motor/
spindle is running.
3. To stop the machine, push the mushroom shaped
stop button (E) or turn the start/stop switch (B) to the
left.
CAUTION: Do not use the forward/reverse
switch to stop the machine or damage to
the electrical controls will occur.
WARNING: Open the electrical cabinet door
only while the power is disconnected, or it
may result in electrical shock.
SPEED CHANGE
Your machine is supplied with a 5-step motor pulley
and a 5-step spindle pulley that provide spindle speeds
of 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 10000 RPM.
A speed chart, shown in Figure 25, is located on the
inside of the front cabinet door for easy reference of
the belt position on the pulleys for the five speeds avail-
able.
Check machine speed setting before operating. Make
sure cutter meets or exceeds speed rating of tool.
Figure 26 shows a chart for finding optimum speed
range in relation to the cutter size. A similar chart can
be seen on the front of the shaper, with indicator lights
showing the current speed of rotation.
