Warning
Wear eye protection .
Be sure keyed washer is di rect ly under the spindle nut and the spindle nut is tight.
Feed the workpiece ag ain st th e rotat io n o f the cutter.
Do not use awkward hand position s.
Keep fingers away fro m the revol vin g cu tter. 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 wrenche s are removed from the machine before t ur ning it on.
• KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches i nv ite accidents.
• DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools i n dam p or wet l oc ations,
or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe dist anc e from the work area.
• MAKE THE WORKSHOP KIDPROOF with padlocks, master swatches, or by rem ov i ng star ter 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 for c e a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
•U SE THE PROPER EX TENSI ON C ORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extensi on c or d, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your m ac hine will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resul ting in power loss and
overheating. The table below shows the correct si ze to use depending on cord length and nam eplate
ampere rati ng. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The sm aller the gauge, the heavier the cor d.

accessories. The use of im pr oper ac cessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
•NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips or if the blade/cutter
is unintenti onally contacted.
•CHECK DAMAGED PART S. Befor e further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of movi ng parts, br eak age of parts,
mounting, and any ot her c onditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into the cutt er against the direction of r otation of the cutter only.
• NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave the
machine until it com es to a c om plete stop.
• DO NOT OPERATE this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
• DUST CAUTION. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, gr inding, drilling and other
constructi on ac tivities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, bi r th defects or other reproductive
harm. Some exampl es of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cemen t and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or
dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Using the Fence as a Guide
Figure 8
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 m ost work, where a portion of the edge of
the w or k i s no t t o uche d b y t he c ut te r, b o t h t he
front and rear fences are in a straight line, as
shown in Figure 9.
2. When the shaping operation removes the
entire edge of the work (i.e. jointing or making
a full bead), the shaped edge will not be
supported by the rear fence w hen both fences
are in line as shown in Figure 10. In this case,
the work piece should be advanced to the
position shown in Figure 10 and stopped.
3. The rear fence should be advanced to co ntact
the work as shown in Figure 11. The rear
fence will then be in line with the cutting circle.
Shaping with Collars and Starting Pin
Figure 9
Figure 10
Figure 11
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 surf ace. See Figure 12
for an example of insufficient bearing surface.
Figure 13 illustrates sufficient bearing surface.
Figure 12
Figure 13
11
4. The work must be fairly heavy in proportion to
the cut being made. See Figure 14. Under no
circumstances should a small workpiece be
shaped against the collars as shown in Figure
15.
Collar Positioning
Collars may be positioned above, below, or
between two cutters:
1. When using the collar below the cutter, F igure
16, the progress of the cut can be observed at
all times. 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 17,
offers the advantage of the cut not being
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 col lar between cutters method, shown in
Figure 18, has both the advantages and
disadvantages of the first two methods. This
method is used primarily where both edge s of
the work are to be shaped.
Figure 14
Figure 15
Figure 16
Starting Pin
U sing the starting pin should
only be attempted by advanced users! If you
have never used this method before, it is
recommended you get training from a qualified
person who is knowledgeable in starting pin
shaping!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
The starting pin is placed in one of the threaded
holes in the table:
1. Work should be placed in the first position
using the guide pin as support, as shown in
Figure 19. Then swing the work into the cutter
as shown in the second position. The work will
now be supported by the collar and starting
pin.
Figure 17
Figure 18
12
2. After the cut has been started, the work is
swung free of the starting pin and rides only
against the collar as shown in the third position
in Figure 20. Always feed against the action of
the cutter.
Lubrication
To insure 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.
