Warning

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 – When 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 is
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 – Whenever possibl e, use a guide pin
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.

Cleaning

Exposed met al surfaces, such as the t able top and
extension wings, have been given a protective
coating at t he f actory. This should be rem ov ed wit h
a soft cloth moistened with kerosene. Do not use
acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this
purpose. Do not u se solvents on pl astic parts, and
do not use an abrasive pad because it may scratc h
the surfaces.

Assembly

Mounting the Fence

Referring to Fi gur e 2:

1. Place the fence assembly (A) on the table (B),

lining up the four mounting holes (C) on the
bracket with the t hreaded holes (D) on the rear
of the table above the dust port (E).

2. Hand fasten with four each M10 hex socket

cap screws (F) and M10 lock washers (G). Do
not tighten at this time.

3. Place two M13 flat washers (H) on two lock

handles (J). Insert the lock handles through
slots (K) on each side of the base. Partially
thread the lock handles (J) into two mounting
holes (L) on the table. Do not tighten at this

time.

4. Turn the adj ust knob on the br acket to po siti on

the fence all the way to the rear .

5. Tighten the lock handles (J) sufficiently to

prevent the fence from movement.

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be

made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fat al injury.

General Information

A power plug is not provided with the Model
PM2700. You may either connect the proper
UL/CSA listed plug or “hardwire” the machine
directly to your electrical panel provided there i s a
disconnect near the machine for the operator.
Consult electrical drawings at the back of this
manual for further clarification of wiri ng setup.

Figure 2

9

This machine must be grounded. Grounding
provides a path of least resistance to help divert
current away f rom the operator in case of electrical
malfunction.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specif ications on the motor plate of t he
machine.

The PM2700 Shaper should be connected to a
dedicated ci rcuit, and prot ected by a circ uit break er
or time delay fuse, with minimum amp ratings as
shown in Table 1. Local codes take precedence

over recommend ation s.

Voltage Conversion (3 Phase Shaper only)

On the 3 phase model, to convert from 230V to
460V, replace the 230V switch with the 460V
switch (not inc luded, order par t no. PM 2700-114C),
and re-wire the incoming leads to the motor as
shown on the diagram inside t he c over of the m otor
junction box. A similar diagram is also i ncluded in
the back of this manual. (Figure 3 shows a
summary of the lead changes for 230V to 460V
conversion.) Note: In case of discrepancies, the
diagram in the motor junction box should take
precedence.

Table 1

Extens ion Cords

The use of ext ension cords is discouraged. Try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary,
make sure the cord rating is suitable for the
amperage list ed on the machine's m otor plate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.

The chart i n Table 2 shows the correct size cord to
use based on cord length and motor plate amp
rating. If in doubt, use the nex t heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

on the front f ace of the casting (K, Fig. 11) wit h
a 2mm hex wrench, followed by repositioning
the casting with the micro adjust dial (J, Fig.

11) as required.
Important: It is recommended that the

adjustment setscrews (K, Fi g. 11) be rotat ed in
1/16th increments or less at a time.

Alignment is complete when the skewed and
reference fence castings are coplanar (in-line) as
shown in Figure 10.

causing the spindle (A) to vibrate. This requires
adjustment.

To adjust (refer to Figure 13):

1. With a 12m m wrench, l oosen four jam nut s (B)
that secure the gib sets crew s (C).

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 setscr ews.

If this is not enough t o remove the table play,
repeat this step unt il the play is removed.

Note: If the gi bs are too tight the front handwheel
(A, Fig. 3) that controls the spindle height will be
difficult to turn.

3. When adjustment is complete, hold the set-
screws (C) in position with the 4mm hex
wrench to mai ntain the setting while tighteni ng
the jam nuts (B) with the 12mm wrench.

Operating Controls

Start/Stop

Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a

power indicator lamp which is on whenever
there is power connected to the shaper, not

just when the shaper i s running. Do not assume
that no light means there is no power to the
machine. If the bulb is bad, there will be no

indication. Always check before use.

magnetic, t he lock can be removed to make the
machine inoper able and can be hidden f or safe
storage by attaching it underneath the rail or
another magnetic surface.

When using the shaper, place the key on the
switch cov er lining up the arrow on the key with
the REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then rotate
the key so the arrow lines up with the LOCK
arrow. This will prevent the safety key from
coming loose f rom vibration when the machine
is in use.

Do not rely that no light
means no power to the machine. Always
check for po wer first. F ailure to co mply may
cause serious inj ury!

Referring to Fi gur e 20:
Start – Press the green start switch (see Note).
When power is connected to the machine, the

green light is always on regardless of whether
the shaper is running or not.

Note: In addition, the switch on the digital
readout must be set t o forward (or rev erse) and
the cabinet door must be closed.

Stop – Press the red switch to stop.
Reset – In the event that the shaper stops

without pre ssing the stop but ton, a s the r esul t of
a tripped fuse or ci rcuit br eak er , etc.:

1. Press red button to reset

2. Press the green button to restart the

machine.

Digital Readout

The digital readout (Figure 21) is used for
making incremental spindle height adjustments
where applicable, if multiple shaping/cutting
passes are to be performed on a given work­piece.

Set the digital r eadout as follows:

1. Set the desired spindle height for the
workpiece to be cut .

2. Supply power to the machine so the digital
display is lit.

3. Select inch or mm by momentarily
depressing the button on the right.

4. Press the 0" SET button for approximately
two seconds.

The digit al display resets to zero, which is your
reference point. When the spindle is raised or
lowered (fr ont handwheel), the change is relative
to this reference.

Figure 20

Safety Key

The start/stop switch on the Model PM2700
comes equipped with a magnetic safety key.
When in place on t he switch as shown in Figur e
20 the magnetic safety key trips a relay which
will allow the machine to start and stop when the
respective switches are pressed. Being

If this feature is used, the display should be
reset to zero for each new cutt ing operation.

Operations

Overview

Before applyi ng power to the machine, Check t he
motor and switch wiring diagrams for proper
voltage connections. Check that all mounting
screws and bolts are tight.

Turn on the motor mom entarily to check for proper
rotation. The spindle should rotate counterclock­wise when looki ng down on the spindle. Correc t as
required.

Run the machine for a short period of time to
ensure that the movi ng parts are working properly
with no excessiv e vibration. If a probl em develops,
correct it before turning t he shaper over for general
use.

Safety Devices

Safety devic es such as guards, fixtures, t emplates
hold-downs, push sticks (Figure 22), feather
boards and power feeders should be used
whenever possibl e. Figure 22 shows a push sti ck
which can be easily m ade from scrap wood.

Note: For the sake of clarit y, the shaper guard ha s
been omitted from most illustrations. All shaper
operations m ust be done with the proper guar d in
place and any other device which insures the
safety of the oper ator.

Deep cuts require excessive

horsepower and pushing force to control the
cut.

Deep cuts can also cause the wood to splinter or
split and may lead to lost c ontrol or personal i njury.
Preband shaper the stock whenever possible to
1/16 inch of finished size. When an edge finish is
unsatisfact ory, take two or more cuts with t he final
cut no more than 1/16 inch deep.

In the case of shaping acro ss the gr ain, t he trail ing
board edge will often splinter. To correct this, the
best solution i s to make the board 1/4 inch ov ersiz e
in width, shape the board, and sim ply trim off the
excess.

Cutter Rotation

Counterclockw ise Setup – With the cutter install ed
as shown in Figure 23, feed the workpiece from

right to left.

Grain Direction Considerations

Plan to shape the workpi ece in the same direct ion
as the grain when possible. Some open grain
woods (such as redwood, fi r and oak) will leave a
rough, or sli ghtly spl intered edge when c ut against
the grain.

Figure 22

Figure 23

Clockwise Setup – With the cutter installed as
shown in Fi gure 24, feed t he workpiece f rom left to
right.

Figure 24

20

Using the Fence

Using the fence is the saf est and most satisfact ory
method of shaping, and should always be used
when the work permits. Almost all straight work
can be used with the fence.

For average work, where a porti on of the original
edge of the work is not to be touched by the cutter,
both the front and rear fences are set in a str aight
line as shown in Figur e 25.

When the shaping operation removes the entire
edge of the work, e.g. in jointing or making a full
bead, the shaped edge will not be supported by
the outfeed fence when both fences are in line,
Figure 26. In this case, the stock should be
advanced to the position shown in Figure 26 and
stopped. Turn off the machine and move the
outfeed fence forward to contact the workpiece,
Figure 27. Remove the workpiec e, start t he mot or,
and then continue the oper ation.

Always remove workpiece

before starting the machine! This will prevent
kickback and potential serious injury.

Figure 25

Figure 26

Figure 27

21

"Z" Dimension

Before making a template (or using the edge of the
workpiece) for shaper cutting, the "Z" dimension
must be established in order to determine the
shape and size of the finished stock. The "Z"
dimension is t he diff erence between the i nnerm ost
part of the c utter edge and the outsi de diameter of
the ball beari ng follower (collar). See Figure 28.

Note: The "Z" dim ension can be either positive or
negative.

The "Z" dim ension is positiv e if the cutt er is larger
than the coll ar bearing.

The "Z" dimension is negative if the cutter is
smaller than the c ollar bear ing.

Depth of Cut

The depth of cut is the distance from the outside
circumference edge of the collar (which the work
rides against) t o the outside edge of the cutter. The
depth of cut is determined by the position of the
fence rel ative to the cutt erhead and/or by the u se
of shaper coll ar s (see Figure 29).

Straight Edge Shaping

Straight edge shaping is always performed with the
workpiece again st the fence. Use only push sti cks
and hold downs to keep the workpi ec e on posi tion.

Do not use a miter gauge to
feed material along the fence face. The work­piece can bind and cause kickback. Failure to
comply may cause seriou s injury!

To set up:

1. Disconnect or unplug the machine from its

power source.

2. Check to see t hat the f ence f aces are paral lel,

properly in line or offset if necessary, and
securely tightened.

3. Rotate the cutt er s and i nspect for clearance.

4. Lock the spindl e.

5. Install all nec essary guards.

6. Reconnect power to the mac hine.

7. Take a tri al cut on a piece of scrap the same

thickness as workpiece.

Note: Only a short cut i s necessary t o determ ine if
the profile, depth, and height of cut is correct.

Figure 28

Figure 29

22

Edge Shaping

When edge shaping, never attempt t o hand guide
any stock less than 12 inches long, or narrower
than 3 inches wit hout t he use of a special gui de as
shown in Figure 30.

When edge shaping, the work-

piece must b e at least 12 inch es long unless a
special guide is used.

1. Use the hol d-ins and hold-do wns as shown in

Figure 30 to firmly hold the workpiece down
and against the f ence. If workpiece i s too wide
for the hold-ins to be used, clamp a scrap
board to the table to substitute for the hold-i ns.

2. Check the rotation of the cutter. Be sure to

feed workpiec e against rotation of the cutter.

Figure 30

3. Feed the workpiece slowly and steadily with

firm, even pressure to m ak e a smooth cut.

Important: The rate of feed depends on de pth of
cut and experi enc e of operator.

End Shaping

When end shaping narrow stock, it is important
that at least one half of the workpiece end be in
contact with either the in-feed or out-feed fence.
Use a guide similar to t he one shown in Figure 31
which tightly clamps the scrap piece to the work­piece and provides the necessary width.

End shaping a narrow work­piece without a special guide could result in
the workpiece rocking into the cutterhead,
causing personal injury.

Shaping All Sides

Because cross grain shaping is more likely to
create chi pping out and splinters on some woods,
it is good practice to first shape the cross-grain
sides. Any chippi ng that does occur is taken care
of by the with-grain cuts, as shown in Figure 32.

On-Edge Shaping

If the shaper fence does not firmly support wide
stock, use the T-slots in the fence to attach a
special rigid high fence as shown in Figure 33.

Figure 31

Figure 32

Note: Be sure the scre w holes are counter sunk in
the special fence to avoid interference with the
workpiece.

Figure 33

23

Straight Line Bevel Shaping

To shape a beveled straight edge, use a bevel­edge shaping jig in combination with the regular
fence as shown in Figur e 34.

Figure 34

To perform a bevel-edge cut, the in-f eed edge of
the jig is placed against the infeed fence and
clamped to the table as shown in Figure 35. The
outfeed fence is moved forward as necessary to
compensate for the cut.

Contour Edge Shaping With Collar Bearing

To shape contoured edge s, the operator m ust first
remove the fenc e assembly .

In order to control the workpiece and limit the
depth-of- cut, the operator m ust use an anti-f riction
collar with the cutt er ( s) as shown in Figure 36.

Figure 36

The collar may be positioned above or below the
cutter(s), and its function is to ride against the
workpiece or tem plate. A t the same tim e, the coll ar
will establish the depth-of-cut as shown in
Figure 37. Whenever possible, al ways use the ring
guard or safety collar.

Figure 35

Never attempt to bevel cut free
hand. Always use a bevel-edg e f ixture.

Note: Since the collar requires at least 1/8" of

surface edge to r ide against, t he entire edge cannot
be shaped as sho wn in Figure 38. The added u se
of a pattern, however, permits the shaping of the
entire contour edge.

Figure 37

Figure 38

24

If the workpiece is to be shaped all around the
perimeter , hold it firmly and pu sh the work strai ght
into the cut ter until the depth of cut is established
by the collar as shown in Figure 39. Continue to
feed the work so that the point of contact on the
edge is always 90 degrees to t he collar (or dir ectly
in line with the c utter edge) and held firml y against
it.

When the workpiece is not contoured all around,
start the cut as shown in Figure 45. With this
operation, t he workpiece i s positioned agai nst the
starter pin and the end swung into place to start
the cut. When the cut has begun and the
workpiece f irmly agai nst t he col l ar, swing the stoc k
away from the pin and proceed wit h c ut.

Freehand shaping is extremely
dangerous. The operator must be aware at all
times of the proximity of his hands to the
cutter. Han ds must never come closer th an 12
inches to the cu t t er wi t hou t t he proper guard or
similar safet y devi ce over the cutterhead.

Shaping With Collars

When shaping with coll ars and starting pin, always
adhere to the following rules for good work and
safe operation:

Figure 39

Figure 40

The collar m ust have suffici ent beari ng surface, as
shown in Figure 40. Also, the stock must be f airly
heavy in proporti on to the cut being made. Under
no circumstances should a short, light workpiece
be shaped against the collars, as in Figure 41.

Note: The edge of t he work to be shaped must be
smooth. Any irregul arit y on the surface which ri des
against the coll ar will be duplicated on t he molded
surface.

Collars must be smooth and free from pitch and
other substances.

Position of Collars

Collars may be used above, below or between
cutterheads.

1. When the collar is used below the cutter, as

shown in Figure 42, the progress of the cut c an
be seen throughout the operation. However,
any accident al lif ting of the work will gouge the
wood and ruin the workpi ec e.

2. When the collar is used above the cutter, as

shown in Figure 43, the cut cannot be seen.
But this method offers an advantage i n that the
cut is not affected by slight variations in the
thickness of the stock. Also, accidental lifting of
the workpiece will not gouge the workpiece;
simply repeat the operation to correct the
mistake.

Figure 41

Figure 42

Figure 43

25

3. Using the collar between the two cutters has

the adv antages and disadvantages of the first
two procedure s, and is frequentl y used where
both edges of the work are to be molded,
Figure 44.

Note: It is adv isable to place t he cutter as low as
possible on the spi ndle to reduce spindle deflecti on
and ensure the best possible finish. Also make
sure that t he contacting surf aces of the cutter are
smooth, clean and without dents.

Starting Pin

Use of the starting pin should
only be attempted by advanced users. If you
have never used this method, it is
recommended you get training from a qualified
person. Fail ure to co mply may resul t in serious
injury.

The starti ng pin is used to support the work when
starting t he c ut.

1. The work should be placed in the position 1,

(Figure 45), usi ng the starting pin as a support

2. Swing the work into t he cutter as shown in t he

position 2. The work is no w supported by t he
starting pin and the collar.

3. After the cut has been started, the work is

swung free of the starting pin and only rides
against the collar (Figure 46). Always feed
against the cut terhead rotation.

Arcs and Circles

Large circular and arc-shaped stock can be
shaped as descri bed in Contour Edge Sh aping on
page 24. However, sm aller sized stock requires the
use of special shaping jigs similar to t hose shown
in Figure 47.

With the ent ire fence assem bly remov ed, carefully
position the jig for desired depth-of-cut and
securely clamp to the table.

It is important with the arc and circle shapes that
the workpiece, prior to being shaped, must be
roughly cut to the desired size and curve of the
finished piece. Make sure that the jig curve
matches exactl y the workpiece curv e. At all times
keep the workpiece firmly in contact with the jig
while the cutter is cut ting the stock.

Never perform this type

operation without a ring guard, safety collar or
similar safet y devi ce over the cutterhead.

Enclosed Edge Shaping

An enclosed workpiece edge is shaped in the
same manner as an outside contoured edge
except that a starting pin is not required as shown
in Figure 48.

Note: If the whole edge is to be shaped, the
operator must use a patter n.

Figure 47

Position the workpi ece on the table before starti ng
the motor. The operator must do the entire shaping
cut by pushing (feeding) the workpiece into the
cutter(s).

Enclosed edge shaping is
extremely dangerous. The operator must be
aware at all times of the di rect io n of feed. Never
perform this type operation without a ring
guard, safety collar or similar safety device
over the cutterh ead.

With a firm grip, ease the edge into the cutter(s)
until stopped by t he c ollar as shown in Fi gur e 48.

Continue to push straight in while feeding and
turning the workpiece at the sam e time until t he c ut
is finished. T urn off the motor and do not remove
workpiece until the cutters have completely
stopped.

Never perform enclosed edge

shaping if there is less than two inches of
workpiece material all around the opening.
Never perform enclosed edge shaping if the
workpiece op ening is smaller, in an y direction,
than twice the diameter o f th e cut t er( s) .

Templates

The template must be thick enough to provide a
solid bearing edge against a collar. When
constructi ng a templat e similar to the one shown in
Figure 49, keep in mind that it serves only as a
guide for the cutter.

If the workpiece requires all-around shaping, the
template c an be constructed f rom sev eral sect ions
pieced together as shown in Figure 50.

Securing the Template

There are various methods used to secure the
template to the workpiece. The experienced
operator will choose the most appropriate
according t o the shape, size, and type c onstruct i on
of the template. For example, if the workpiece is
large enough to extend beyond the front of the
table and sti ll l eave r oom for the desir ed cut , it can
be securely held to the tem plate with "C" clamps
as shown in Figure 51.

Figure 49

Figure 50

In many situations the workpiece is positioned
against the template using dowels as anchor
points and handles (wood blocks) to assist the
operator in guidi ng the work-piece through the cut
as shown in Figure 52.

Figure 51

Figure 52

Special Cuts

The illustrat ions in this section show the prof ile, or
section, views made by the cutter(s). The most
effici ent cutters are carbide ti pped to ensure clean
and long-term cutting. Small cutters may be solid
carbide, and some use inserts. Since there are
such a wide variety of choices, the operator is
limited only by his experience and imaginati on.

Stacked Cutters

A variety of inter esting and timesavi ng cuts can be
made in a single setup by stacking the cutters.
When the operator stacks the cutters, extra care
should be taken to see that all par ts are clean, free
of nicks and flaws, and perfectly balanced in the
stacked positi on.

Sash and Door Shaping

Shaping a door requires two operations.
Figure 53 shows the sash cut for the first

operation.
Figure 54 shows the stock flipped over and the

sash cutter used with a 1/4 inch groove cutter to
complete the cut.

Figure 55 shows the f i rst shaping cut wit h the sash
cutter for t he matc hing door stile sash.

Figure 56 shows the same cut with the stock
flipped ov er.

Figure 57 shows the f irst shaping c ut for a window
sash stile ut ilizing a sash cutter, col lar, and a 1/2
inch groove cutt er .

Figure 58 shows BOT H cut s required for a window
sash rail end. The f irst operat ion at t op is a rabbet
cut made with a groove cutter. The second
operation is performed with a stub spindle and
buttonhead screw.

Butt Joints

All butt-type joints require both work-pieces to be
perfectly square and straight-edged.

Glue Butt Joint

To perform a glue butt joint, both fences are kept
inline and adj ust ed for a depth of cut (Figure 59).

The cuts on both work-pieces are part-edge cuts
which do not reduce the stock width during the
cutting procedure. When shaping the two
workpieces, one i s f ed t op-side up; the ot her is fed
bottom-side up.

Tongued Joint

Similar to the glue joint, both fences are kept in-line
for the tongued joint and adjusted for a 1/4 inch
depth of-c ut with no reducti on in stock widt h. With
this joint, however, both work-pi eces are fed with
the same side up as shown in Figure 60.

Drop Leaf Joint

When shaping a drop-leaf joint as shown in
Figure 61, the leaf workpiece is shaped with a
Drop-Leaf Bead cutter; the table workpiece is
shaped with a Drop-Leaf Cove cutter.

With this type joint, the whole edge of both
workpieces is shaped, same-side up, and
allowance m ade for a 1/16 i nch reducti on in widt h.
Adjust the in-feed fence to reduce the workpiece
width by 1/16 i nc h, and adjust the out-feed fence to
compensate for stock removed.

Taper Cuts

Taper cuts can be made by offsetting the fences
for the amount of taper desired, or with a layout
line on the stock which can be paralleled to the
infeed fence as shown in Figure 62.

Figure 58

Figure 59

Figure 60

Figure 61

Start the cut by holding the stock against the
infeed fence and swinging it into contact with the
outfeed f ence just past the cut terhead. As the cut
is started, t ransfer pressure to hol d the workpiece
against the outfeed fence, and continue feeding
the workpiece through. After the first cut, the
fences will have to be readjusted in order for the
second cut (parall el cut) and the final depth-of-cut
to remain true with the taper.

Figure 62

Do not use the standard fence
for short work (12 inches or less in length on
the side t o be cut). Instead, use a miter gau ge
or special fixture to avoid l osing control o f the
workpiece.

30

Tenoning

The tenoning f ixture ill ustrated in Fi gure 63 shows
a miter gauge equipped with a hold-down for
shaping the ends of narr ow work-piec es.

The miter gauge can also be adapted to cut square
and centered tenons at t he ends of legs for tables,
chairs, etc. S ec ur e the leg t o jig and posi tion for cut
as shown in Figure 64.

Make all first cuts with the same jig setting and
spindle height. When the first series of cuts have
been made, reposition leg on the jig for each
succeeding cut.

Note: If the leg is taper ed, use a wedge to place
the side fac ing the cutt er into a 90 degree vertical
position as shown in Figur e 65.
