  Inspect for tilt on the motor pulley. If the pul-

ley is tilted, loosen the four bolts holding the 
motor onto the motor plate. Wiggle the motor 
into  position.  (Do  not  loosen  the  bolts  that 
hold  the  motor  onto  the  motor  mount;  this 
plate is preset with blocks that hold it in posi-
tion and it cannot be adjusted.) 

6.

  Inspect your results. If they are satisfactory, 

tighten  all  fasteners.  Remember  to  tighten 
the  bolt  in  the  split  housing  that  holds  the 
spindle cartridge in position.

Inspecting pulley alignment.

4.

  If  pulleys  are  parallel  with  each  other,  but 

not in line, remove the belt from the spindle 
assembly  and  slide  the  spindle  cartridge 
assembly either up or down.

 

Note:

 

The  side  cover  can  be  removed  from 

the shaper to improve access to the motor.

NOTICE

DO NOT 

over-tighten.  Cast  iron  threads  are 

more easily stripped than steel.

7.

  You can also align the motor pulley by raising 

or lowering it along the motor shaft. Loosen 
the  two  setscrews  and  tap  into  the  desired 
position with a dead blow hammer.

moderate  finger  pressure.  This  may  seem  tight 
compared  to  most  other  V-Belts,  but  since  the 
belt  is  small  and  runs  fast,  this  much  tension  is 
necessary.  The  V-Belt  will  slip  if  too  loose  and 
squeal  or  cause  vibration  if  too  tight.  Adjust  the 
tension if necessary. 

To adjust V-Belt tension:

1.

  DISCONNECT  SHAPER  FROM  POWER 

SOURCE

!

2. 

Make sure the pulleys are properly aligned.

3. 

Loosen the two motor mount plate bolts and 
slide the motor left or right to modify the belt 
tension. Keep the pulleys aligned.

4. 

Tighten the motor mount plate bolts, test the 
tension, and check pulleys.

5. 

Repeat 

Steps 3-4

 until tension is correct, and 

pulleys are aligned. 

Truing The Fence

To ensure that the fence is parallel with itself 

and square with the table:

1.

  Ensure that the bolts through the wood fac-

ing  on  each  side  are  tight  and  adequately 
countersunk.

2.

  To align the wood facing, adjust one or both 

fence halves so they are in close alignment. 
Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a  
straightedge.

3.

  If  the  wood  fences  are  not  coplanar  with 

each  other,resurface  as  one  unit.  You  can 
perform this operation on a jointer. 

 

Note:

 

Make sure the screws are countersunk 

deep enough so the workpiece will not come 
in contact with the heads of the screws. 

 

Or use electrical washers between the fence 
and the fence bracket to shim the fence into 
the correct position.
