GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ THE MANUAL: Always read the owner's
manual carefully before attempting to use the ma-
chine. Know the limitations and hazards associated
with its use.
INSTALLATION: If mounting machine to the floor,
use high quality anchor bolts through the mounting
holes on the base. If using a mobile base, be sure to
lock the wheels.
PROTECTION: Take e ery precaution to protect
yourself, others around you, and the machine itself,
from improper use.
GUARDS: Be sure machine guards are in place and
in good working order. Use them at all times on op-
erations where they can be used. If a guard must be
remo ed for any operation, make sure it is replaced
immediately following completion of that operation.
HOUSEKEEPING: Before turning on machine, re-
mo e all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches,
scrap, stock, and cleaning rags from the machine.
Keep the area around machine clean and free of
scrap material and sawdust to mimimize the danger
of slipping.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING: Your machine must
be electrically grounded. If a cord and plug are
used, make certain the grounding lug connects to a
suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure
indicated by the National Electric Code. Keep
power tools in dry areas free from moisture.
TOOL MAINTENANCE: Clean and sharp tools
gi e better and safer performance. Dull tools can
cause kickback and excessi e chatter. Before
making a cut, always check the condition and
adjustment of the tools. Ne er use a tool that is
not balanced and rated for the selected RPM.
POWER OFF: Make sure the machine is either un-
plugged or electrically disconnected and locked out
when performing maintenance, chaning cutters, or
ser ice work.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS: Check for alignment
of mo ing parts, binding of mo ing parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other condition that
may affect the machine's operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT:
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations,
or expose them to rain. Keep work area well
lighted.
DRESS CODE: Do not wear loose clothing, neck-
ties, jewelry, or glo es that can get caught in mo ing
parts. Confine long hair. Keep slee es abo e the
elbow.
EYES: Always wear appro ed safety goggles,
glasses, or a face shield when operating this
machine. There are no exceptions to this rule.
E ery day eyeglasses only ha e impact resistant
lenses, they ARE NOT safety glasses.
DO NOT OVERREACH: Maintain a balanced
stance and keep your body under control at all
times. Do not o erreach or use excessi e force to
perform any operation.
IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the op-
eration of shapers, obtain ad ice from your super i-
sor, instructor or other qualified person.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION: Do not oper-
ate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or any medication.
Health Hazar s. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction acti ities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproducti e
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products.
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures aries, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-
entilated area, and work with appro ed safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SHORT STOCK: Ne er shape stock less than 12
inches in length without special fixtures Where
practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.
12 INCH RULE: When shaping, ne er allow your
hands to come closer than 12 inches to the cutters.
HAND SAFETY: Ne er pass the hands directly
o er or in front of the cutters. As one hand ap-
proaches the 12 inch radius point, remo e it (or the
push stick) in an arc motion and reposition hands
12 inches beyond the cutters, Figure 1.
!

FIGURE 1
FEED STOCK opposite to the direction of the
cutter rotation. Ne er back stock out of the cutter
once the cut has been started. Instead, pull the
stock straight back away from cutter and begin the
cut again. See Figure 2.
FIGURE 2
COLLARS: When shaping with collars, the collar
must ha e sufficient bearing surface (see page 11).
The work must also be fairly hea y in proportion to
the cut being made. Do not use short, lightweight
stock when shaping against collars.
THE OPENING between the fence plates should
be only just enough to clear the cutter.
EDGE SHAPING: Always use the miter gauge
and clamp attachment when edge shaping stock
less than 6" wide. The fence should be remo ed
during this operation.
SAFETY LOCK WASHER: Ne er operate the
shaper without the safety locking keyed washer
located immediately under the spindle nut, Figure
3. This pre ents the nut from coming loose when
the spindle is run in a counterclockwise direction.
Do not substitute any other type washer in place of
the safety lock washer.
FIGURE 4
BE SURE the special arbor nut and the draw bar
are tightened on the arbor.
MISUSE: Do not use this shaper for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes,
POWERMATIC disclaims any real or implied
warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury
which may result from that use.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: Use only
POWERMATIC or factory authorized replacement
parts and accessories; otherwise, the shaper
warranty and guarantee will be null and oid.

ADJUSTMENTS
BELT ADJUSTMENT/SPEED CHANGE
The Model 29 Tilting Shaper is equipped with a mo-
tor and shaft pulley, Figure 8, capable of deli ering
fi e speeds. Beginning with the top groo es on the
pulleys, the speeds are 10,000; 8,000; 6,000; and
4,000 RPM, down to the lowest groo e which pro-
ides 3,000 RPM. A diagram found on the front of
the machine will aid in identifying these positions.
To change the speed and adjust the proper belt ten-
sion, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Open front guard door.
3. Pull handle (A) to loosen belt.
4. Mo e belt (B) to the desired groo e on the
pulleys.
5. Adjust the belt tension, and push handle (A)

5. Place safety washer (C) on top and tighten
spindle nut (D) onto the spindle.
6. Unlock the main shaft.
7. To remo e a cutter, re erse the abo e pro-
cedure.
CAUTION: Always include the safety washer
(C) on the spindle when operating the shaper. This
helps pre ent the spindle from loosening while run-
ning in re erse.
WARNING: AFTER INSTALLING A CUT-
TER AND CHECKING IT FOR TIGHTNESS, CHECK
AGAIN! Make certain the direction of cutter is cor-
rect and that the stacking collar, safety washer and
spindle nut are all tightened securely!
WARNING: Be sure to release the lock knob
from the main shaft before starting machine (Figure
10).
TABLE INSERTS
Three table inserts come standard with your shaper:
a 6-3/8" (160mm) diameter, a 2-7/16" (60mm) diam-
eter and an o al opening (for a tilted spindle). See
Figure 15. The smaller insert has a guide shoulder
of 3-3/16" (80mm) which is used for the purpose of
copying.

Each half of the aluminum fence should be adjusted
as close to the cutterhead as possible without inter-
fering with it. Each can be mo ed independently de-
pending on the type of work to be done:
4. Loosen the knob (D) on the connection plate
and slide aluminum fence (E) to position, Figure 16.
Retighten knob (D).
WORK HOLD-DOWNS & SAFET SHIELD
Two hold-downs and one safety shield are included
with the shaper. One hold-down (A) presses stock
down upon the table, the other (B) keeps it pressed
against the fence. These can be mounted to the hold-
down base (C), Figure 17, by the use of wing-nut
blocks (D). The safety shield (E) can be mounted to
either of the hold-down pieces as shown.
FIGURE 17
The hold-down base is factory adjusted to maintain
ertical positioning of the rod. Howe er, if adjustment
is e er necessary, raise the handle (F) and loosen
nut (G) with a wrench. Then turn the socket head
screw (H) with an allen wrench, in or out until the rod
is ertical. See Figure 18. When satisfied, re-tighten
the nut (G). Loosen the soc. hd. screws (J) on the
handle and adjust the eccentric washers behind them
so that the handle can be lowered all the way but still
maintain a degree of tightness. Re-tighten screws.
FIGURE 18
When changing cutters, simply lift handle on hold-
down base (F), Figure 18, and flip entire assembly
back out of the way.
OPERATION
Always release the main spindle from the lock knob
before starting machine (see Figure 10).
Your shaper is equipped with pushbutton magnetic
controls. A start button, power indicator, re ersing
switch, and emergency stop are all located on the
front of the machine.
To re erse the rotation of the spindle, simply shut off
the motor and engage the re ersing switch.
CAUTION: NEVER attempt to re erse the ro-
tation of the spindle while the motor is running.
SHAPING WITH THE FENCE
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory
method of shaping, and should always be used when
the work permits. Almost all straight work can be
used with the fence.
1. For normal work, where a portion of the origi-
nal edge of the stock is not touched by the cutter,
both the infeed and outfeed fence are in a straight
line, Figure 19.
FIGURE 19
!

11
2. When the shaping operation remo es the
entire edge of the stock, e.g. in jointing or making a
full bead, the shaped edge will not be supported by
the outfeed fence when both fences are in line, Fig-
ure 20a. In this case, the stock should be ad anced
to the position shown in Figure 20a and stopped. The
outfeed fence should then be mo ed forward to con-
tact the work, Figure 20b. The outfeed fence will then
be in line with the cutting circle and the operation can
continue.
FIGURE 20a
FIGURE 20b
POSITION OF COLLARS
When shaping with collars, the collar must ha e suf-
ficient bearing surface, as shown in Figure 21a. Also
the work must be fairly hea y relati e to the cut being
made. Under no circumstances should a short, light
workpiece be shaped against the collars, as in Fig-
ure 21b.
FIGURE 21a
FIGURE 21b
The collars may be used in any of the following posi-
tions: abo e, below, or between the cutters.
1. When the collar is used below the cutter, as
in Figure 22, the progress of the cut can be seen
throughout the operation. Howe er, any accidental
lifting of the work will gouge the wood and ruin the
workpiece.
FIGURE 22
2. When the collar is used abo e the cutter, as
in Figure 23, the cut can not be seen; but this method
offers an ad antage in that the cut is not affected by
slight ariations in the thickness of the stock.
Also, accidental lifting of the workpiece will not gouge
the workpiece; simply repeat the operation to correct
the mistake.
FIGURE 23
3. Using the collar between two cutters has the
ad antages and disad antages of the first two pro-
cedures, and is frequently used where both edges of
the work are to be molded; see Figure 24.

12
FIGURE 24
NOTE: It is ad isable to place the cutter as low as
possible on the spindle to reduce spindle deflection
and ensure the best possible finish. Also make sure
that the contacting surfaces of the cutter are smooth,
clean and without dents.
MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge is used for shaping the end of stock,
usually requiring remo al of the fence. To edge-
shape, place the stock against the gauge as shown,
Figure 25. Tighten clamp (A) firmly against stock and
adjust work stop (B) against rear edge of stock. Push
work past cutterhead.
The miter gauge can be adjusted to shape at an angle
by loosening the knob (C) and rotating the gauge body
to the desired angle on the indicator (D).
FIGURE 25
The Shaper can be used for molds, rabbets, groo es,
tenons, copying, etc.:
TENONING
The pro ided miter gauge and clamp can be used for
tenoning operations.
CAUTION: When using tenoning cutters with
a diameter of 11-13/16" or 9-13/16", run spindle at a
speed not higher than 3,000 RPM. If tenoning cut-
ters ha e a diameter of 7-7/8" or 6- 3/8", run spindle
at a speed not higher than 6,000 RPM. If tenoning
cutters ha e a diameter no larger than 3-3/16", run
spindle at 10,000 RPM.
COP ING
When using the same procedure on multiple
workpieces, a jig or template can be made to facili-
tate the operation:
1. Prepare the jig (A), Figure 26, to accomodate
your original workpiece.
2. Place the jig (A) against the table insert guide
shoulder (B).
3. Fasten the new workpiece (C) on the jig (A)
with the clamp (D) and push the assembly past the
cutter.
FIGURE 26

FIGURE 27
MAINTENANCE
Apply a drop of light machine oil occasionally on the
ledge and wall of the table opening to facilitate the
changing of table inserts.
The bearings in the motor are sealed for life and do
not require lubrication.
The main shaft should be lubricated with grease regu-
larly after continuous running for 30 days. See chart.
