2. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

3. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

4. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

5. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

6. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.

7. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

8. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

9. If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

10. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

11. Danger IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE RECEPTACLE IN QUES-TION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

12. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 – 250 volts, inclusive:
    If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. C, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. C. Make sure the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this machine. If the machine must be re- connected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after re-connection, the machine should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

13. Permanently connected machines:
    If the machine is intended to be permanently connected, the machine should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system, or to a system having an equipment-grounding conductor.

• The lock handle (A) Fig. 30 is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling it out and changing its position on the serrated nut.

OPERATIONS

The following examples show set-up and operational procedures when using the fence, collars, and starting pin. Please review this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

SHAPING WHEN USING THE FENCE AS A GUIDE
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping. Most straight work can be shaped using the fence described below.

1. For average work, where a portion of the original edge of the work is not touched by the cutter, both the front and rear fences are in a straight line (Fig. 31).
2. When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of the work (jointing or making a full bead), the shaped edge will not be supported by the rear fence when both fences are in line (Fig. 32). In this case, advance the work to the position shown in Fig. 32 and stop.
3. Advance the rear fence to contact the work (Fig. 33), putting it in line with the cutting circle.

SHAPING WITH COLLARS AND STARTING PIN
When shaping with collars and starting pin, follow the rules below for superior finishing and safety in operation.

1. Free the collars of ALL gum or other substances, and confirm that they are smooth.
2. Confirm that the edge of the work is smooth. ANY irregularity in the surface that rides against the collar will be duplicated on the molded surface.
3. A portion of the edge of the work MUST remain untouched by the cutters in order for the collar to have sufficient bearing surface. The wrong method is shown in Fig. 34, while Fig. 35 illustrates the right method.
4. The work MUST be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut being made (Fig. 35). Under NO circumstances should short work of light body be shaped against the collars (Fig. 37).
5. When shaping with collars and starting pin, use the spindle guard supplied with the machine.

POSITION OF COLLARS

1. The collars may be used in any of three positions: above, below, or between two cutters.
2. When the collar is used below the cutter (Fig. 35), the operator can see the progress of the cut. NOTE: Any accidental lifting of the work will gouge the wood and ruin the workpiece.
3. When the collar is used above the cutter (Fig. 36), the operator will be unable to see the cut. However, the advantage in this method is that the cut is not affected by slight variations in the thickness of the stock. Also, accidental lifting of the work will not gouge the workpiece. Simple correction for the mistake is to repeat the operation.
4. The collar between cutters method (Fig. 40) utilizes the advantages of the first two methods and is frequently used when both edges of the workpiece are to be shaped.

END SHAPING

• Maintain sufficient support of the workpiece during all shaping operations. USE A MITER GAUGE OR BACK-UP BLOCK (Figs. 41 and 42) when end shaping a workpiece that is too short to be sufficiently supported halfway through the cut,
• Warning Shaping a narrow workpiece without sufficient support could result in serious injury.
• The infeed fence assembly must be parallel to the miter slot when using the miter gauge. Adjust the outfeed fence so that it will not contact the workpiece after it has passed the cutter. Place the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge and the infeed fence, and feed the cutter by pushing the miter gauge.
• Warning Failure to hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge during the cut could result in slippage of the workpiece, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to the workpiece.

CROSS GRAIN SHAPING
Shaping across the grain will usually cause some splitting at the end of the cut. Feeding the workpiece slowly across the cutter at the end of the cut can minimize the splitting. Shape the cross-grain cuts first. Shaping with the grain last will usually remove the splintered end.

SHAPING NARROW MATERIAL
Clamp a support (Fig. 43) to the machine when shaping narrow material (less than 3″ wide) Feed the workpiece under this support with a push stick. NOTE: The push stick should be slightly narrower and thinner than the workpiece.

Warning
Shaping narrow material without proper support and push stick could result in serious injury.

STARTING PIN

1. The machine is supplied with a tapered starting pin (A) Fig. 44, which is used as a support when starting the cut. The starting pin (A) is placed in one of the tapered holes (B) in the table.
2. Place the work in the first position using the guide pin as a support (Fig. 45). Swing the work into the cutter as shown in the second position (Fig. 45). The work will be supported by the collar and starting pin (Fig. 45).
3. After the cut has started, swing the work free of the starting pin and let it ride only against the collar (third position, Fig. 45). ALWAYS FEED THE WORK-PIECE AGAINST THE ROTATION OF THE CUTTER.

Warning
Advancing the work to the cutter without the side support of the starting pin will provide serious kickback. ALWAYS USE THE STARTING PIN.

REPLACING SPINDLE CARTRIDGE
Warning DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

1. IMPORTANT: When replacing the spindle cartridge (B) Fig. 45A, loosen the bolt (A). Remove the spindle cartridge. Replace with a new spindle cartridge. Tighten the bolt (A) ONLY 7 to 10 foot pounds.

2. Always align the spindle pulley (D) Fig. 45B, and motor pulley (E) to provide maximum belt performance and to reduce belt wear. To check the pulley alignment, place a straight edge against the underside of both pulleys (Fig. 45B). If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screw (F) and move the motor pulley up or down until the two pulleys (D) and
   (E) are aligned. Tighten the set screw.

3. Using light finger pressure on the belt between pulleys (D) and (E) Fig. 48, a deflection of approximately 3/32″ will constitute proper belt tension.
