Short stock – Never shape stock less than 12 inches in length without special fixtures. Where practic al, shape longer stoc k and c ut to size.
12 inch rule W hen shaping, never allow your hands to come closer than 12 inches to the cutters.
Hand safety Never pass the hands directly over, or in front of, the c utters (Figure A). As one hand approaches the 12 i nch radius point , remove it (or the push stick) in an arc motion and reposition hands 12 i nc hes beyond t he c utters.
Blind cut W hen blind cutting, t he workpiece i s positioned on t op of the template. This keeps the cutter(s) cutting only the underside of the workpiece and prov ides a "distanc e" guard f or the operator.
Cutter Clearance W ith the power disconnect ed, always rotate the spindle by hand with any new set-up to ensure pr oper c learance wit h the cutters. At the same tim e, check to be sure the c utt erhead is turning in the cor r ect dir ec tion.
Stock feed – Feed stock opposi te to the di recti on of the cut ter rot ation (Figur e B). Nev er back stock out of the cutter once the cut has been started. Instead, pull the stock straight out away from cutter and begin the cut again.
Guide pin W henever possible, use a guide pi n when performing pattern shaping and collar shaping operations.
Tool maintenance Cl ean and sharp tools giv e safer and better performance. Dull tools can cause kickbacks and excessive chatter. Before making a cut, always check the condition and adjustment of the tools. Never use a tool that is not balanced and rated for the selected RPM.
Spindle speed – Do not o perate tools at speeds higher than rated by the manufacturer.
Cutter selection Use only those cutters designed to be used on the m achine, and mount only safety type c utt er s on the spi ndle.
Stock condition The danger of kicked-back stock can occur when the stock ha s knots, hole s, or foreign objec ts such as nails. Warped or in-wind stock should f ir st be joi nt ed on one surf ac e bef ore attempting to use it on the shaper.

General Information

A power plug is not provided with the Model JWS35X. You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed plug or “hardwire” the machine directly to your elect rical panel prov ided there is a disconnect near the machine for the operator. Consult electrical drawings on pages 45-46 for further clarification of wiring setup.
This machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistanc e to help divert current away from the operator in case of electrical malfunction.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine.

secure the gib setscrews in four places (A).
2. With a 4mm hex wrench, tighten each
setscrew 1/8 or less turn starting with the
lowest one, followed by the uppermost one,
then the two middle setscrews.
If this is not enough to remove the play,
repeat this step unt il the play is removed. Note: If t he gibs are t oo ti ght the f ront handw heel
that control s the spindle height will be dif ficult to turn.
When adjustment is complete:
3. Hold the set-screws in posit ion with the 4mm
hex wrench to maintain the setting while
tightening the jam nuts with the 12mm
wrench.
