Rotation
Your shaper is equipped with a FORWARD/
REVERSE switch. See Figure 25. In many
instances, it will be necessary to flip the cutter
over and reverse cutter rotation. Whenever pos
-
sible, mount the cutter so the board is milled on
the bottom side (the side away from the opera
-
tor). This does a better job and it is safer for the
operator.
Always check the direction of cutter rota-
tion before any shaping operation. Cutters
rotating backwards will cause unsafe condi
-
tions.
Speed Changes
The Model G1026 Shaper is equipped with a spe-
cial high speed V-belt. It is designed to withstand
the vibration and sudden shock loads associated
with the operation of a shaper.
To change spindle speeds:
1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER
SOURCE!
2. Loosen the two motor mount bolts and slide
the motor toward the spindle assembly.
DO NOT take the bolts out.
3. Move the V-belt to a sheave on the motor
and spindle pulleys to select the desired
speed (See Figure
26.)
Figure 26. Speed change belt positions.
4. Slide the motor back into position and tighten
the belt. When the belt is properly tensioned,
there should be approximately
1
⁄4" of deflec-
tion in the center of the belt when you press
it with your thumb.
5. Tighten the motor mount bolts.
6. Spin the pulley to ensure proper tracking.
