A light coat of clear automotive paste wax can be applied on the table top and the fence faces whenever necessary. This will reduce friction and protect wood surfaces. General Operating Instructions This Shaper/Router can be used in a variety of ways for different functions. Following are the basic steps needed for using the unit. 1. 1. Prepare the workpiece.
Straight Edge Shaping Position fence faces so that they are parallel to each other and lock them into place after installing shaper. Position the shaper so that one of the cutting faces is 90° from the fence faces. To get an idea of the profile of the cut, place the workpiece against the infeed fence and slide it against the face of the cutter. Set fence location and adjust spindle height to give the approximate cut profile. Try out the setting on a piece of scrap.
Maintenance And Servicing Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician. TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT: 1. Turn off machine, unplug and remove the key. 2. Remove guards and guides. Turn unit on it’s side or upside down on a suitable, clean work surface.
