OPERATION
SHAPING
WARNING
Before starting your shaping, make sure the wheel is sharp, correctly positioned and firmly in place.
Fig. 38 Loosen spray guard knobs
WARNING
Before shaping, make sure the handles and clamps are firmly secured to the material slide. To
prevent material dislodging and motor overloading, the forward speed during the shaping must be
proportional to the hardness and thickness of the material to be shaped. A gentle pressure should be
applied. DO NOT force the piece through.
Shaping
1. Loosen spray guard knobs (Figure 38).
2. Move spray guard down so brush is touching material slide. Tighten down by turning knobs
(Figure 39).
3. Turn on machine and check water is spraying on shaping wheel. With material clamped tightly
in position and all adjustments made, place hands on handles as shown (Figure 40).
