GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ THE MANUAL: Always read the owner's
manual carefully before attempting to use the ma­chine. Know the limitations and hazards associated with its use.
INSTALLATION: If mounting machine to the floor, use high quality anchor bolts through the mounting holes on the base. If using a mobile base, be sure to lock the wheels.
PROTECTION: Take every precaution to protect yourself, others around you, and the machine itself, from improper use.
DRESS CODE: Do not wear loose clothing, neck­ties, jewelry, or gloves that can get caught in moving parts. Confine long hair. Keep sleeves above the elbow.
EYES: Always wear approved safety goggles, glasses, or a face shield when operating this machine. There are no exceptions to this rule. Every day eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they ARE NOT safety glasses.
DO NOT OVERREACH: Maintain a balanced stance and keep your body under control at all times. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any operation.
GUARDS: Be sure machine guards are in place and in good working order. Use them at all times on op­erations where they can be used. If a guard must be removed for any operation, make sure it is replaced immediately following completion of that operation.
HOUSEKEEPING: Before turning on machine, re­move all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches, scrap, stock, and cleaning rags from the machine. Keep the area around machine clean and free of scrap material and sawdust to mimimize the danger of slipping.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING: Your machine must be electrically grounded. If a cord and plug are used, make certain the grounding lug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure indicated by the National Electric Code. Keep power tools in dry areas free from moisture.
TOOL MAINTENANCE: Clean and sharp tools give better and safer performance. Dull tools can cause kickback 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.
IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the op­eration of shapers, obtain advice from your supervi­sor, instructor or other qualified person.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION: Do not oper­ate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
Health Hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: * Lead from lead-based paint. * Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products. * Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well­ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
POWER OFF: Make sure the machine is either un­plugged or electrically disconnected and locked out when performing maintenance, chaning cutters, or service work.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS: Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect the machine's operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT:
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SHORT STOCK: Never shape stock less than 12
inches in length without special fixtures Where practical, shape longer stock and cut 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 cutters. As one hand ap­proaches the 12 inch radius point, remove it (or the push stick) in an arc motion and reposition hands 12 inches beyond the cutters, Figure 1.
Page 5
FIGURE 1
FEED STOCK opposite to the direction of the
cutter rotation. Never back stock out of the cutter once the cut has been started. Instead, pull the stock straight back away from cutter and begin the cut again. See Figure 2.
SAFETY LOCK WASHER: Never operate the shaper without the safety locking keyed washer located immediately under the spindle nut, Figure
3. This prevents the nut from coming loose when the spindle is run in a counterclockwise direction. Do not substitute any other type washer in place of the safety lock washer.
FIGURE 4
FIGURE 2
COLLARS: When shaping with collars, the collar
must have sufficient bearing surface (see page 11). The work must also be fairly heavy in proportion to the cut being made. Do not use short, lightweight stock when shaping against collars.
THE OPENING between the fence plates should be only just enough to clear the cutter.
EDGE SHAPING: Always use the miter gauge and clamp attachment when edge shaping stock less than 6" wide. The fence should be removed during this operation.
BE SURE the special arbor nut and the draw bar are tightened on the arbor.
MISUSE: Do not use this shaper for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, POWERMATIC disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury which may result from that use.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: Use only POWERMATIC or factory authorized replacement parts and accessories; otherwise, the shaper warranty and guarantee will be null and void.

4. Loosen the knob (D) on the connection plate and slide aluminum fence (E) to position, Figure 16. Retighten knob (D).
WORK HOLD-DOWNS & SAFETY SHIELD
Two hold-downs and one safety shield are included with the shaper. One hold-down (A) presses stock down upon the table, the other (B) keeps it pressed against the fence. These can be mounted to the hold­down base (C), Figure 17, by the use of wing-nut blocks (D). The safety shield (E) can be mounted to either of the hold-down pieces as shown.
FIGURE 18
When changing cutters, simply lift handle on hold­down base (F), Figure 18, and flip entire assembly back out of the way.
OPERATION
FIGURE 17
The hold-down base is factory adjusted to maintain vertical positioning of the rod. However, if adjustment is ever necessary, raise the handle (F) and loosen nut (G) with a wrench. Then turn the socket head screw (H) with an allen wrench, in or out until the rod is vertical. See Figure 18. When satisfied, re-tighten the nut (G). Loosen the soc. hd. screws (J) on the handle and adjust the eccentric washers behind them so that the handle can be lowered all the way but still maintain a degree of tightness. Re-tighten screws.
Always release the main spindle from the lock knob before starting machine (see Figure 10). Your shaper is equipped with pushbutton magnetic controls. A start button, power indicator, reversing switch, and emergency stop are all located on the front of the machine.
To reverse the rotation of the spindle, simply shut off the motor and engage the reversing switch.
!
CAUTION: NEVER attempt to reverse the ro­tation of the spindle while the motor is running.
SHAPING WITH THE FENCE
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping, and should always be used when the work permits. Almost all straight work can be used with the fence.
1. For normal work, where a portion of the origi­nal edge of the stock is not touched by the cutter, both the infeed and outfeed fence are in a straight line, Figure 19.
10
FIGURE 19
Page 11
2. When the shaping operation removes the en­tire edge of the stock, 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 20a. In this case, the stock should be advanced to the po­sition shown in Figure 20a and stopped. The outfeed fence should then be moved forward to contact the work, Figure 20b. The outfeed fence will then be in line with the cutting circle and the operation can con­tinue.
FIGURE 20a
FIGURE 21b
The collars may be used in any of the following posi­tions: above, below, or between the cutters.
1. When the collar is used below the cutter, as in Figure 22, the progress of the cut can be seen throughout the operation. However, any accidental lifting of the work will gouge the wood and ruin the workpiece.
FIGURE 20b
POSITION OF COLLARS
When shaping with collars, the collar must have suf­ficient bearing surface, as shown in Figure 21a. Also the work must be fairly heavy relative to the cut being made. Under no circumstances should a short, light workpiece be shaped against the collars, as in Fig­ure 21b.
FIGURE 21a
FIGURE 22
2. When the collar is used above the cutter, as in Figure 23, the cut can not be seen; but this method offers an advantage in 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 23
3. Using the collar between two cutters has the advantages and disadvantages of the first two pro­cedures, and is frequently used where both edges of the work are to be molded; see Figure 24.
11
Page 12
!
CAUTION: When using tenoning cutters with a diameter of 11-13/16" or 9-13/16", run spindle at a speed not higher than 3,000 RPM. If tenoning cut­ters have a diameter of 7-7/8" or 6- 3/8", run spindle at a speed not higher than 6,000 RPM. If tenoning cutters have a diameter no larger than 3-3/16", run spindle at 10,000 RPM.
FIGURE 24
NOTE: It is advisable to place the cutter as low as
possible on the spindle to reduce spindle deflection and ensure the best possible finish. Also make sure that the contacting surfaces of the cutter are smooth, clean and without dents.
MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge is used for shaping the end of stock, usually requiring removal of the fence. To edge­shape, place the stock against the gauge as shown, Figure 25. Tighten clamp (A) firmly against stock and adjust work stop (B) against rear edge of stock. Push work past cutterhead. The miter gauge can be adjusted to shape at an angle by loosening the knob (C) and rotating the gauge body to the desired angle on the indicator (D).
COPYING
When using the same procedure on multiple workpieces, a jig or template can be made to facili­tate the operation:
1. Prepare the jig (A), Figure 26, to accomodate your original workpiece.
2. Place the jig (A) against the table insert guide shoulder (B).
3. Fasten the new workpiece (C) on the jig (A) with the clamp (D) and push the assembly past the cutter.
