! SAFETY RULES As with all machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the use of this shaper. Use the machine with the respect and caution demanded where safety precautions are concerned. When normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator can result. Read, understand and follow the safety and operating instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and hazards associated with this machine. Electrical grounding.
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. See Figure 1. Collars.
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.
! SAFETY Familiarize yourself with the location and content of these safety decals on your shaper.

5. Secure the machine to the floor with good quality lag screws through the holes in the bottom of the cabinet. 6. Exposed metal parts such as the table top have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft cloth and solvent (such as mineral spirits). Do not use an abrasive pad. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ! WARNING: Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician. The machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible death.
INTERCHANGEABLE SPINDLE INSTALLATION One of the features of this machine is that it will accept interchangeable spindles with a drawbar or without a draw bar. Router bits can also be used on this shaper. INTERCHANGEABLE SPINDLE WITH DRAWBAR 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source and remove the table inserts (NOTE: Removing the tilting insert is not neccessary). 2. FIGURE 12 Raise the spindle shaft all the way up. 3.
4. Disengage spindle lock before operating. NOTE: Whenever possible, the cutter should be positioned on the spindle in such a way that the cut is being performed under the surface of the workpiece. ! WARNING: Always place the "keyed" washer (C) on the spindle before threading the nut. FENCE ASSEMBLY 1. Place fence body (A), shown in Figure 16, on the table. Mount the two fence locking handles (E) with washers, and secure fence to table using one of the two sets of holes on the table. FIGURE 16 2.
MITRE GAUGE & CLAMP Mount mitre gauge and clamp to the sliding table as follows (Figure 19): 1. Insert post (A) of the clamp assembly down through hole (B) of the mitre gauge body (C), and thread post (A) into hole (D) of sliding table. 2. Insert shaft of locking handle (E) down through opening (F) of mitre gauge and thread shaft into hole (G) of sliding table. 3. The clamp (H), shown in Figure 20, is supplied with the mitre gauge to securely hold the workpiece when shaping small pieces across the grain.
ADJUSTMENTS Control Panel Instructions The elements of the control panel are as follows: (See Figure 24). A. B. C. D. E. power indicator on-off switch forward/reverse switch start indicator emergency stop 1. Make certain the spindle lock is disengaged as explained in the section "Spindle Lock" and that the cabinet door is closed. Be sure there is no conflict with the cutterhead, and that any bystanders are clear of moving parts. FIGURE 24 2. Rotate the forward/reverse switch (C) to the desired setting.
The cutting speed should always exceed 40 m/s to lessen risk of kickback but should not exceed 70 m/s to lessen the risk of tool damage. To change the speed and adjust the proper belt tension, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Open front cabinet door and move belt tension lever (A) to the right to loosen belt tension. See Figure 27. 3.
SPINDLE TILTING The machine should come to a complete stop before the spindle is tilted, and the insert with the oval slot should be placed into the table. Make sure the cutter does not touch the table or the fence when in tilted position. 1. Loosen the knob (C) on the front handwheel (D). See Figure 29. 2. Loosen the two locking handles (E) on both sides of the machine. 3. Turn the handwheel (D) to the required tilting angle shown on the indicator (F). 4. Tighten the knob (C) and locking handles (E).
SLIDING TABLE ADJUSTMENT There are six adjustable eccentric rollers (A) on the sliding table, shown in Figure 31. Wherever the table is unstable or not traveling in line, adjust the sliding table as follows: 1. Use open end wrench (B) to adjust the rollers. 2. Lock the rollers by using the hex wrench (C). To operate the sliding table (F) pull out and rotate knob (D) until it stays in the out position as shown. The sliding table can then be moved back and forth.
POSITION OF COLLARS When shaping with collars, the collar must have sufficient bearing surface, as shown in Figure 35. 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 shown in Figure 36. The collars may be used in any of the following positions: above, below, or between the cutters. 1.
COPYING (MACHINING WITH A JIG) When using the same procedure on multiple workpieces, a jig or template can be made to facilitate the operation: 1. Prepare the jig (A) to accomodate your original workpiece. See Figure 40. 2. Place the jig (A) against the table ring guide shoulder (B). FIGURE 40 3. Fasten the new workpiece (C) on the jig (A) with the clamp (D) and push the assembly past the cutter. FEEDING STOCK Stock feeders are available from Powermatic.
The bearings in the motor are sealed for life and do not require lubrication. The spindle bearing should be lubricated every 200 hours of use by using the grease gun (A) supplied. See Figure 41. Two grease fittings, one of which (B) is shown, are supplied on the spindle housing for this purpose. The other grease fitting is directly opposite fitting (B). Before lubricating, clean grease fittings (B) thoroughly and then lubricate the spindle bearings with two pumps of a good quality, non-hardening grease.
Trouble-Shooting for Model TS29 Shaper PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION [with page #] Machine will not start. 1. Faulty switch. 2. Cord damaged. 1. Replace switch. 2.

Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped at incoming power source. Overload kicks out frequently. 1. Extension cord too light or too long. 2.
Trouble-Shooting for Model TS29 Shaper PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION [with page #] Depth of cut not uniform. 1. Misalignment. 2. Side pressure not uniform. 1. Adjust outfeed fence. 2. Use hold-downs or stock feeder; keep pressure against fence or collars consistent. Variation in height of cut. 1. Variation in pressure which holds work down on table. 1. Keep pressure firm throughout pass, use hold-downs; make pass slowly and steadily. Whenever possible, keep cutter under stock. [19] 2.
