Additional Safety Rules for the Operation of Shapers

1) Avoid Kickbacks. “Kickback” can occur when the workpiece is forced back by the cutter during improper operation. When “Kickback” occurs an injury can result. Some of the causes of Kickback are: A- Improper tooling

B- Knots, Nails or Imperfections in the workpiece.

C- Heavier Cuts than the machine was designed for.

D- Failure to use the material hold downs and or a powerfeeder with thin or narrow workpieces.

2) Always maintain the proper relationship of in-feed fence and the out-feed fence in relation to the Cutterhead.

3) Never start the work-piece into the cutterhead before allowing it to reach operation speed.

4) Keep the cutter sharp and free of rust and pitch

5) Never use an unbalanced cutterhead or an improper speed fo r the cutterhead.

6) Support and control the workpiece properly all times during the operation.

7) Never reverse the direction of the workpiece after beginning operation. Kickback can occur.

8) Always use the diameter spindle that is the correct size for your cutter.

9) When changing cutterheads be sure to replace the cutter guard before operation.

10) Check for proper rotation after each cutter change and the beginning of work.

11) Mounting of large diameter cutterheads should be as close to the base of the spindle as possible.

12) Keep the work area as clean as possible to avoid slipping or tripping.

13) Never place loose items on the table top while in operation. 14 Never continue to operate equipment that is in need of repair.

15) Safety glasses are strongly recommended during operation.

Electrical Connections of the Machine

Each machine is provided with a reference plate that indicates the requirements of the electrical service needed for the machine to properly operate. Before you call a certified electrician to make the wiring connections, be sure that the voltage and cycle (phase) stated on this reference plate are the same as provided in your building.

(Electrician) Remove the electrical box cover and connect the electrical supply wires to the proper terminals. Rapidly turn on and off the machine and then visibly check the rotation direction of the cutterhead. It should correspond to the direction indicated on reversing switch. If not, proceed with the instructions below:

For three-phase machines: invert two wires of the power source without changing the internal connections of the machine. See the electrical diagrams for three-phase on page 08. If further information is needed or contact Invicta USA.

Loading and unloading

When loading and unloading the machine there should be no pressure on areas which could affect its functioning. On figure 01 we show correct procedure for handling.

Installing the Machine

Place the machine on a level and structurally sound floor to avoid vibration. On figure 02 we display a foundation layout for your reference.

CAUTION: The machine comes with a reverse rotation switch, set it as shown (Clockwise) on the display in the front panel before testing the rotation direction.

Changing the Spindle

INVICTA TECHNICAL BULLETIN

Subject: Correct Procedure for Changing Spindles

Pre-installation Instructions Remove all cosmoline from interchangeable spindle and mating main spindle before mounting tooling. It is very important that the locking nut, threads and taper be clean. Make sure O-ring is in place just below the bottom lip of the spindle. This acts as a dust shield. Failure to have O-ring in place will allow dust and debris to filter down into spindle threads, making it very difficult to remove the spindle. Lightly oil lower spindle with 10wt oil before seating.

1. Screw the locking nut (A) up on the fine threads of the interchangeable spindle (B) until the rubber O-ring (C) is flush with the bottom lip of the spindle.

2. Then place the interchangeable spindle assembly into the main spindle and tighten by turning with the nut.

IMPORTANT: Allow spindle assembly to turn with the nut. Turn until hand tight.

3. Take the spindle nut wrench and turn nut ¼ turn clockwise to tighten.

CAUTION!!

Do not turn the spindle separately and always return the locking nut to contact the bottom of rubber O-ring each time the spindle is removed.

IMPORTANT: All tooling used on the spindle must be balanced.

Lubrication

Your machine requires lubrication as follows: The upper bearing should be lubricated every 48 hours of use with a high quality grease, through point A. Below are makes and types of greases that can be used on this bearing:

• Darina Grease nº 2 - SHELL

The lower bearing does not need greasing as it is shielded.

Machine Identification and Replacement Parts

Every machine has a manufacturing code (tag) which provides the manufacturer serial number and production date. This manual gives listing numbers of parts that form your machine. They provide description and order numbers. When needed, use original parts; always mention the manufacturing code, part number and quantity desired.

Inserting the Interchangeable Spindles (Cutter Shafts)

Fig. 3

Turn Lever nº 6 to its horizontal position locking the drive shaft. Loosen knob nº 3 and turn handwheel nº 2 until the shaft reaches its maximum height. Screw nut “A” onto the interchangeable spindle shaft to be used until tightening up against rubber ring “B”. Then screw this assembly into the drive shaft turning the nut until the assembly is securely tightened. Finally unlock the drive shaft by lever nº 6.

IMPORTANT:

1. When assembling the nut to the spindle, face “C” should be slightly

higher than face “D”.

2. When changing spindles, the locknut face “E” should never come

in contact with surface “F”. If this occurs, change the relation of the locknut to the shaft before tightening.

3. Never allow debris to come between shaft and the spindle housing.

4. Protect the spindle mating surfaces from damage at all times.

Change Speeds and Adjustment of Belt Tension

To change the spindle speed, pull lever nº 5 (fig.3 pg.6) and loosen the belt. Change the belt position both pulleys, and tighten the belt by returning the lever to its original position. Adjust belt tension as belt wears by nuts “G” when necessary.

Micro -Adjustable Fence Assembly

The fence assembly is fastened directly to the table using knobs “I” at points “R”. Fine adjustment of the infeed and outfeed fence around the cutter is done by knobs “J”. Once adjusted, the fence is locked in position by knobs “K”. Note: Keep the wood guide close to the cutter.

The front and upper flexible metal spring holddown feet, “N” and “O” should be adjusted to press the wood correctly against the fence and the table. Top guard “M” comes with the fence and can be positioned many different ways by holes “L”.

Brake Adjustment

When it is necessary to adjust the brake, loosen nut “P” and adjust the steel cable by screw “Q” until the assembly is adjusted properly. Finally, lock the screw by nut “P”.

Table Inserts

Fig. 7

The machine is equipped with three inserts “R”, which allow the accomodation of various size cutters. Alignment marks on each insert are to assure the correct positioning. The inserts can be locked in place to avoid rotating by turning the lock with an allen wrench. The largest diameter insert is supplied with four leveling screws which allow it to be leveled to the table. If an adjustment is necessary, place a straight edge on the insert and across the table, then tighten or loosen the four leveling screws until the correct relationship of the rings to the table is achieved.

NOTE: Cam lock nº 4 (fig.3 pag.6) must be loose when making this adjustment.
