Warning
Wear eye protection.
Be sure keyed washer is directly under the spindle nut and the spindle nut is tight.
Feed the workpiece against the rotation of the cutter.
Do not use awkward hand positions.
Keep fingers away from the revolving cutter. Use fixtures when necessary.
Use the overhead guard when the adjustable fence is not in place.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
• KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations,
or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
• MAKE THE WORKSHOP KIDPROOF with padlocks, master swatches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and
overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge, the heavier the cord.

handle counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Raise or lower spindle to desired height by
turning handwheel (B, Figure 9).
3. Turn spindle lock handle clockwise to tighten.
Using the Fence as a Guide
Shaping with the fence is the safest and most
satisfactory method of working. This method
should always be used when work permits. Almost
all straight work can be used with the fence.
1. For most work, where a portion of the edge of
the work is not touched by the cutter, both the
front and rear fences are in a straight line, as
shown in Figure 10.
2. When removing the entire edge of the work
piece (i.e., jointing or making a full bead), the
shaped edge will not be supported by the rear
fence when both fences are in line (see Figure
11). In this case, the work piece should be
advanced to the position shown in Figure 11
and stopped.
3. Advance the rear fence to contact the work as
shown in Figure 12. This places the rear fence
in line with the cutting circle.
Shaping with Collars and Starting Pin
Follow these rules when shaping with collars and
starting pin for safest operation and best results:
1. Collars must be smooth and free from all gum
or other substances.
2. The edge of the work must be smooth. Any
irregularity in the surface which rides against
the collar will be duplicated on the shaped
surface.
3. A portion of the work's edge must remain
untouched by the cutter so that the collar will
have sufficient bearing surface. See Figure 13
for an example of insufficient bearing surface.
Figure 14 shows sufficient bearing surface.
4. The work must be heavy in proportion to the
cut being made (see Figure 15). Under no
circumstances should a small workpiece be
shaped against the collars as shown in Figure
16.
Figure 9
Figure 10
Figure 11
Figure 12
Figure 13
Figure 14

12
Collar Positioning
Collars may be positioned above, below, or
between two cutters:
1. When using the collar below the cutter (Figure
17), you can always observe the progress of
the cut. A disadvantage of this method is any
accidental lifting of the work will gouge the
wood and ruin the workpiece.
2. Using the collar above the cutter (Figure 18),
the cut is not affected by slight variations in the
stock's thickness. However, the cut is not
visible during the operation. Another
advantage is accidental lifting of the work
piece will not gouge the work piece. Simply
correct the mistake by repeating the operation.
3. The collar between cutters method (Figure 19)
has both the advantages and disadvantages of
the first two methods. This method is used
primarily when shaping both edges of the work
piece.
Figure 15
Figure 16
Figure 17
Figure 18
Figure 19

13
Starting Pin
Only experienced, advanced
users should attempt starting pin shaping! If
you have never used this method, get training
from a qualified person who is knowledgeable
in starting pin shaping!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Place the starting pin in one of the two threaded
holes in the table in front of the table rings.
1. Place work piece in the first position using the
starting pin as support (see Figure 20). Swing
the work into the cutter as shown in the
second position. The work is now supported
by the collar and starting pin.
2. After starting the cut, swing the work free of
the starting pin so it rides only against the
collar (see the third position, Figure 21).
Always feed against the action of the cutter.
Lubrication
To ensure easy movement when raising and
lowering spindle, occasionally apply a drop of light
oil on outside of spindle cartridge.
Spindle cartridge bearings are pre-lubricated and
sealed. They need no further care.
