Model G1026 (Mfd. Since 10/13)
-29-
Changing Cutter
Rotation
Figure 33. FOR/REV switch.
Always check the direction of the cutter rota-
tion before any shaping operation.
The G1026 is equipped with a FOR/REV (forward
and reverse) switch, as shown in Figure 33. In
most cases, the shaper should be run in the FOR
direction.
In some instances, it will be necessary to flip the
cutter over and reverse the cutter rotation.
Whenever possible, mount the cutter so the stock
is milled on the bottom side (the side away from
the operator). This does a better job and it is safer
for the operator. Refer to Rub Collars, Page 34.
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 MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the rear cover, then loosen the two
motor mount bolts shown in Figure 34 and
slide the motor toward the spindle assembly.
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.
7. Re-install the rear cover.
