SAFETY

For Your Own Safety,

Read Manual Before Operating Machine

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

COULD result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

MAY result in minor or moderate injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the equipment or a situation that may cause damage to the machinery.

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

Untrained users can be seriously hurt.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles.

Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with workpiece materials, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips which could cause a loss of workpiece control.

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an electrician or qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This eliminates the risk of injury from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles.

Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine.

Always verify removal before starting!

INTENDED USAGE. Only use machine for its intended purpose and never make modifications not approved by Woodstock.

Modifying machine or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to serious personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine.

Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris—make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

Additional Safety for Shapers

GUARDING FROM CUTTER EXPOSURE. When setting up cuts, take every possible step to reduce operator exposure to the cutter to prevent laceration or amputation injuries.

These steps include but are not limited to:

Keeping the unused portion of the cutter below the table, using the smallest table insert allowed by cutter, adjusting fences as close as practical to the cutter on both sides, using a properly installed box guard, and securing the guard as close to the workpiece as possible. Keep the provided guard or other protective devices between your hands and the cutter at all times!

FEEDING DIRECTION. Always make sure the cutter is rotating in the correct direction before starting shaper, and always feed the workpiece against the rotation of the cutter. Moving the workpiece into the cutter in the same direction as it is rotating will aggressively pull the workpiece from your hands and could draw them into the cutter.

PREPARING A WORKPIECE. Always “square up” a workpiece before you run it through the shaper. A warped workpiece is difficult to process and increases the risk of an accident.

Always inspect the workpiece before shaping.

The danger of kickback is increased when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it.

KEEPING HANDS SAFE. Never pass your hands near, directly over, or in front of the cutter. As one hand approaches the 6-inch radius point, move it in an arc motion away from the cutter to the outfeed side and reposition that hand more than 6 inches beyond the cutter. Do not use awkward hand positions.

AVOIDING AN OVERLOAD. Removing too much material in one pass increases the risk of the workpiece kicking back toward the operator.

Never attempt to remove too much material in one pass. Several light passes are safer and give a cleaner finish.

SMALL WORKPIECES. There is a risk when shaping a small workpiece that it will slip between the fence boards and draw the operator’s hand into the spinning cutter.

Keep fingers away from revolving cutter—use fixtures when necessary. Where practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.

SAFELY FEEDING A WORKPIECE. We recommend using some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device to safely support the workpiece when feeding. ALWAYS use a push stick when shaping small or narrow workpieces. Use an outfeed support table if shaping long workpieces to make sure that they remain supported during the entire cutting procedure.

TESTING FOR CLEARANCE. If the spinning cutter should contact the fence, guard, or insert, the resulting flying debris presents injury hazards. Unplug the shaper, and always rotate the spindle by hand to test any new setup for proper cutter clearance before starting the shaper.

SAFETY GUARDS. To reduce the risk of unintentional contact with the rotating cutter, always make sure the cutter safety guard and a properly dimensioned box guard are correctly installed before beginning operation.

SAFE CUTTER INSTALLATION: A properly tightened spindle nut reduces the risk of the cutter or rub collars flying off during operation. Always make sure the quill key and spindle keyway are aligned. Always use both spindle nuts and make sure they are tight.

CUTTER POSITIONING. Position cutters so they cut from the underside of the workpiece whenever possible to reduce operator exposure to the moving cutter.

CONTOUR SHAPING. When shaping contoured work and using a rub collar, NEVER start shaping at a corner. See the rub collar section in the manual. Use the overhead safety guard when the adjustable fence is not in place.

ELECTRICAL

Circuit Requirements

This machine must be connected to the correct size and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage may occur. Read through this section to determine if an adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install one before you can connect the machine to power.

The machine must be properly set up before it is safe to operate. DO NOT connect this machine to the power source until instructed to do later in this manual.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the fullload current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Current Rating at 110V .................. 10 Amps

Circuit Requirements for 110V

This machine can be converted to operate on a 110V power supply (details about voltage conversion can be found later in this manual). The 110V power supply circuit must have a verified ground and meet the requirements that follow:

Circuit Type ...................... 110V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase

Circuit Size ............................................. 15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle .................................... NEMA 5-15

Incorrectly wiring or grounding this machine can cause electrocution, fire, or machine damage. To reduce this risk, only an electrician or qualified service personnel should do any required electrical work on this machine.

NOTICE

The circuit requirements listed in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit— where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult with an electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

-6-


Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipmentgrounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

For 110V Connection

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and NEMA 5-15 grounding plug.

The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle

(see Figure) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Figure 2. NEMA 5-15 plug & receptacle.

DO NOT modify the provided plug or use an adapter if the plug will not fit the receptacle. Instead, have an electrician install the proper receptacle on a power supply circuit that meets the requirements for this machine.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life.

Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and the gauge smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size at 110V ...................... 14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.

Additional Safety Instructions for Shapers

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine.

Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect, and always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Remember, no list of safety guidelines can be complete, and every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines can result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment and/or poor work results.

1. KEEPING HANDS SAFE: Never pass your hands near or directly over or in front of the cutter. As one hand approaches the 12-inch radius point, move it in an arc motion away from the cutter to the outfeed side and reposition that hand more than 12 inches beyond the cutter.

2. HOLDING AND UNSAFE WORKPIECE: DO NOT shape stock shorter than 12 inches without special fixtures or jigs. Where practical, shape longer stock and cut to size.

3. CUTTER POSITIONING: Keep the cutters on the underside of the workpiece whenever possible to reduce operator exposure to the moving cutter.

4. TESTING FOR CLEARANCE: Unplug the shaper, and always rotate the spindle by hand to test any new setup to ensure proper cutter clearance before starting the shaper.

5. SAFELY STARTING AND FEEDING WORKPIECE: When shaping contoured work and using a rub collar, NEVER start shaping at a corner. See the rub collar section further on in the manual.

The danger of kick-back is increased when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign objects in it.

6. PREPARING A WORKPIECE: Always run warped stock through a jointer before you run it through the shaper. An warped workpiece is difficult to process, which increases the risk of an accident.

7. CUTTER EXPOSURE: Keep any unused portion of the cutter below the table surface.

8. AVOIDING AN OVERLOAD: Never attempt to remove too much material in one pass. Several light passes are safer and give a cleaner finish.

9. SAFELY FEEDING A WORKPIECE: In most applications it is advisable to use a push stick as a safety device; in others it can be quite dangerous. If the push stick comes in contact with the cutter on the end grain, it can be violently propelled from your hand—potentially causing serious injury. We recommend using some type of fixture, jig, or hold-down device as a safer alternative. And ALWAYS use a guard or other type of protective device at all times.

10. AVOIDING CUTTER AND WORKPIECE GRAB: Always make sure cutter is positioned in the correct direction before starting shaper, and always feed against the rotation of the cutter.

11. SAFELY USING ALTERNATE TABLE CONFIGURATIONS: Always use overhead guard when the fence is not in place. The overhead guard reduces the risk of contacting the cutterhead.

12. SAFE CUTTER INSTALLATION: Never operate the shaper without verifying that the spindle nut is tight. A tight spindle nut reduces the risk of the cutter or rub collars flying off during operation.

ELECTRICAL

110V Operation

The SHOP FOX ® Model W1701 is prewired for 110 volt operation. The motor supplied with your new Machine

Type is rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 13 amps. A 5-15 plug is included for your machine and is intended to be plugged into a matching 5-15 receptacle.

Connect your machine to a circuit (wire, breaker, plug, receptacle) that is rated for at least 15 amps.

We recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit breaker size given below. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes.

If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire hazard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

Extension Cords

When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines:

• Use cords rated for Standard Service

• Never exceed a length of 100 feet

• Use cords with 12 ga. wire or bigger

• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

• Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord supplied with this machine comes with a grounding pin. Do not remove it. If your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed.

Note: When using an adapter, the adapter must be grounded.

Figure 7. Typical 110V 3-prong plug and outlet.

This equipment must be grounded.

Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded.

Machine Placement

• Machine Mobility: Use the Model D2057

SHOP FOX ® Heavy-Duty Mobile Base so you can make the most out of your shop space by moving the Model W1701 1HP

Shaper out of the way when not in use.

Contact your SHOP FOX and availability.

® Dealer for price

• Working Clearances: Consider your current and future shop needs with respect to the machinery and the lumber to be shaped. Allow enough space for safe lumber support as the lumber is fed into the shaper and as it exits the machine.

• Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits have the capacity to handle the amperage requirements for your Model W1701 1HP

Shaper. Electrical outlets should be located near the shaper, so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas.

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your machine type are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

ALWAYS work in wellventilated areas far from possible ignition sources when using solvents to clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they

DO NOT create fire or environmental hazards.

Assembly

LACERATION HAZARD!

Inspect edges of all metal parts before handling them. Some metal parts may have sharp edges, which can cause injury.

To assemble the shaper, do these steps:

1. Lay one stand side on the ground and attach the cross bars with the 8mm carriage bolts, 3 ⁄

8

" washers, and 8mm hex nuts as shown in Figure 9. DO NOT fully tighten the nuts and bolts at this time.

2. Attach the second stand side to the assembly.

Note: At this point, the assembly will be somewhat wobbly. Have an assistant hold the assembly in place while you attach the nuts and bolts.

3. Place the shaper table upside down on two sturdy blocks that are at least 3 1 ⁄

2

" off the ground as shown in Figure 10. Make sure the spindle DOES NOT touch the ground or the weight of the shaper may damage the spindle.

4. Place the stand assembly on the shaper and attach it with the 8mm carriage bolts, 3 ⁄

8

" washers, and 8mm hex nuts as shown in Figure 10.

5. Have an assistant help you turn the shaper unit over.

6. Level the shaper, then tighten all of the assembly bolts on the stand.

NOTE: Sheet steel will often “spring” after it has been fabricated at the factory, occasionally making it difficult to line up precisely with other parts without a bit of effort. Do not be surprised if the stand requires a bit of

“persuasion” to fit together. On the other hand, if the parts just do not seem to work together, try switching parts around (such as the tie bars).

7. Using the 5/16"-20 x 3/4" Phillips head screws, and

5/16" washers, install each fence facing to the fence mount brackets as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 9. Attaching cross bars to stand side.

Figure 10. Attaching stand to shaper unit.

8. For custom fence facing, make sure the screw heads are countersunk completely below the surface of the fence face.

9. Connect the safety guard bar to the safety guard shaft with two M8-1.25 x 12 bolts and the 8mm flat washers. See Figure 12.

10. Connect the safety guard to the safety guard bar with two M4-0.7 x 12 Phillips

M4-0.7 nuts. See Figure 12.

® head screws and the

11. Position the extension bar and safety guard on the main fence housing and install the T-lock handle.

See Figure 12.

12. Position the guard as close as possible to the spindle/cutter without impeding the feeding path of the workpiece.

13. Place an 8mm open-end wrench on top the spindle

(see Figure 13).

14. Using a 14mm open-end wrench on the drawbar nut,

( Figure 14), make sure the drawbar nut is tight, but

DO NOT over-tighten the drawbar nut.

Note: This is an important safety measure that must be done before the Test Run on the next page.

Test Run

Complete this process once you have familiarized yourself with all instructions in this manual .

To test run the shaper, do these steps:

1. Read the entire instruction manual first, so you are familiar with all controls and functions of the shaper!

2. Connect your machine to the power source.

3. Turn the shaper ON. The shaper should run smoothly with little or no vibration.

— Immediately turn the jointer OFF if you suspect any problems, and fix those problems before starting the shaper again. If the source of an unusual noise or vibration is not readily apparent, contact our technical support for help at (360) 734-3482 or contact us online at [email protected].

OPERATIONS

General

This machine will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly.

The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing any operation,

stop using the machine!

If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recommend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training from an experienced operator before performing any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should come first!

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine.

Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Cutters vs. Router Bits

When shipped, the Model W1701 is setup for using shaper cutters. However, if you plan on using router bits, you must first convert the Model W1701 to a router table. To convert your shaper to a router table, refer to Page 23.

If you're not sure which type of cutting equipment you will use, read below for the pros and cons of both.

Shaper Cutters

Pros—Shaper cutters are larger, more durable and generally last longer than router bits. If you plan on cutting many linear feet of a certain profile, then shaper cutters are the best choice.

Cons—Shaper cutters are much more expensive than router bits and they are typically too large for small projects.

Router Bits

Pros—Router bits are cheaper than shaper cutters and come in a wider range of profiles and sizes. If you plan on making small projects that do not require many linear feet of cutting, then router bits are the best choice.

Cons—Router bits are not as durable as shaper cutters, and they are typically designed to be operated faster than this machine can operate.

-12-

Always wear safety glasses when operating this machine. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

DO NOT investigate problems or adjust the Machine Name while it is running.

Wait until the machine is turned OFF, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!


Spindle Elevation

Correct spindle height is crucial to most shaping applications. Use a piece of test wood to confirm the correct spindle height before cutting expensive lumber.

To set the spindle height, do these steps:

1. Loosen the spindle lock knob located on the side of the shaper as shown in Figure 15.

2. Move the spindle height lever shown in Figure 16 to raise the spindle or left to lower the spindle.

3. Retighten the spindle lock knob on the side of the shaper. DO NOT over-tighten the knob. Only a small amount of tension is needed to keep the spindle from moving during operation.

Spindle Direction

The Model W1701 is capable of operating in two directions by use of the forward and reverse switch shown in Figure 17.

It is very important that the workpiece be fed against the direction of the cutter rotation. This will prevent a climb cut and maintains a safe cutting procedure for the operator.

Most operations are done with the switch in the FWD position. However, there will be times when it is necessary to flip the shaper cutter over and run the spindle in the opposite direction (REV).

• When the switch is pointing to the FWD position, the spindle and cutter rotate counterclockwise.

• When pointing to the REV position, the spindle and cutter rotate clockwise.

Figure 15. Spindle lock knob.

Figure 16. Spindle-height lever.

CUTTER CONTACT HAZARD!

Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the cutter is rotating may result in a climb cut, which can pull your hand into the cutter.

Always feed the workpiece AGAINST the direction that the cutter is rotating to reduce this risk.

-13-

Figure 17. Forward and reverse switch.


Fence Positioning

The two fence faces are independently adjustable to allow for different shaping tasks. The fence faces can be set at different positions to remove material from the entire edge of the wood stock or set at the same position to shape part of the edge.

To adjust the fence, do these steps:

1. Loosen the fence mount lock handle shown in Figure

18.

2. Adjust the position of the fence by turning the adjustment knob shown in Figure 18.

3. Once the fence is in the desired position, tighten down the fence mount lock handle.

Figure 18. Fence mount lock handle and adjustment knob.

Fence Alignment

Before shaping, check that the two fence faces are parallel.

To align the fences so they are parallel with each other, do these steps:

1. Get a quality straightedge that is long enough to span the entire length of the fence assembly.

2. Adjust the fence faces so they are in as close to the same parallel position as possible.

3. Hold the straightedge across both of the fence faces as shown in Figure 19.

4. If the fence faces are not parallel, place shims between the back of the fence face and the face of the fence mount. With some trial and error shim adjusting, parallel fence faces can be achieved.

Figure 19. Use straightedge to check fence.

Table Inserts

Two inserts ( Figure 20) are provided allowing for three different opening sizes to be achieved. Use the smallestsize opening for a cutter to reduce wood chips falling into the machine. Using the smallest-size opening also covers any unused portion of the bit below the surface of the table, thus reducing the chance of operator injury.

Cutter Installation

ACCIDENTAL START-UP HAZARD!

Always disconnect machine before installing or removing any cutting equipment. Performing these procedures while machine is connected to power greatly increases risk of serious injury!

��

Figure 21. Rub collar mounted above cutter.

CUTTER FLY-APART HAZARD!

Using cutters rated lower than the spindle speed greatly increases the risk that the cutter will fly apart during operation, which may cause very serious injury to the operator and bystanders.

��

Before installing cutters, you must plan the configuration of rub collars and cutters required for the intended application.

Rub collars limit the depth of cut and are typically used with most cutters, depending on the profile and type of cut being performed.

There are three set up positions for rub collars:

• ABOVE THE CUTTER as shown in Figure 21. This setup is the safest and produces the most consistent results.

• BETWEEN TWO CUTTERS as shown in Figure 22. This setup has the advantage of making two profile cuts in a single pass.

• BELOW THE CUTTER as shown in Figure 23. This setup allows the cut to be viewed by the operator; however, it is also the most dangerous because the operator is exposed to the moving cutter.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SHAPING WITH A RUB

COLLAR BELOW THE CUTTER!

To install cutters and rub collars, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER SOURCE!

2. Slide the cutter(s) and rub collars onto the spindle in the correct orientation for your intended cut.

3. Install the keyed safety washer and nut as shown in

Figure 24.

Keyed

Safety

Washer

CUTTER FLY-APART HAZARD!

Always use the keyed safety washer! The lock tang on this washer prevents the shaper cutter bit from loosening the spindle nut during operation.

4. Thread on and tighten down the spindle nut with the provided 23mm wrench, while holding the spindle at the top with an 8mm wrench, as shown in Figure 25.

5. Make sure the cutter rotates freely in the correct direction needed for the cut (in most cases this is the FWD direction on the FWD/REV switch, which is counterclockwise on the spindle).

6. Install applicable safety guard(s).

Figure 24. Placing the keyed safety washer.

AMPUTATION/LACERATION

HAZARD!

Accidental contact with a cutter during operation will remove parts of fingers or large chunks of flesh.

Safety guards greatly reduce this risk and must always be used when operating this machine!

Figure 25. Tightening spindle nut.

Router Bit Installation

Before using router bits, you should convert the shaper to a router table. Refer to Table Spacer Kit on Page 23 to learn how to do this.

The Model W1701 comes with a 1 ⁄

2

" and 1 ⁄

4

" router bit collet. When installing router bits, make sure that the router bits are secure before starting the machine. A loose router bit may fly out of the spindle.

To install the router bit collet, do these steps:


2. Push the collet into the collet nut until the off-center lip of the collet nut snaps into the collet groove.

See Figure 26.

Note: This lip and groove pulls the collet from the spindle when the collet nut is removed.

3. Place the collet nut and collet into the spindle. See

Figure 27.

4. Finger tighten the collet nut onto the spindle until it is flush with the top of the collet nut.

5. Insert the router bit.

6. Using the 26mm special flat wrench, insert it under the table and hold the spindle stationary (see Figure

28-A) while using the 30mm wrench to tighten the collet securing the router bit (see Figure 28-B).

Straight Shaping

Because the shaper fence is independently adjustable, you can set up the shaper to cut part or all of the workpiece edge.

To set the fence up for cutting material from the whole edge of the workpiece, do these steps:

1. Loosen the locking handle shown in Figure 29.

2. Turn the adjustment knob located on the back of the fence mount and adjust the infeed fence until the workpiece contacts the cutter at the desired location.

3. Tighten the lock handle to lock the fence into position.

4. Adjust the outfeed fence so that it is located as far back from the front of the table as possible.

5. Turn the shaper ON.

6. Using a piece of scrap wood, advance the workpiece

8" into the cutters, and turn the machine OFF. DO

NOT remove the workpiece from the infeed fence face.

7. Once the cutter has come to a complete stop, adjust the outfeed fence so that it just touches the newly cut edge as shown in Figure 30.

8. Make sure all fence lock handles are tight.

To set up the fence for partial edge removal, do these steps:

1. Loosen the lock handle on the side of the fence mount.

2. Turn the adjustment knob and adjust the infeed fence until the workpiece contacts the cutter at the desired location.

3. Tighten the lock handle to lock the fence into position.

4. Adjust the outfeed fence so that it comes into alignment with the infeed fence as shown in Figure 31.

Figure 29. Fence controls.

Figure 30. Fence setup for jointing-type operations (Guard Not Shown For Clarity).

Figure 31. Fence setup for partial-edge removal (Guard Removed For Clarity).

-18-


5. Now place a straightedge against both faces of the fence to check alignment. Once they are both in alignment, make sure the lock handle is tightened.

Always feed the wood against the rotation of the cutter as shown in Figure 32. Another way to conceptualize this is to always feed the wood into the cutter so that the cutter is pushing against the direction of feed. Never feed wood in the same direction as the cutter rotation. This is called a “climb cut” and is extremely dangerous.

Also, examine the grain on the side edge of the board.

Whenever possible, run the board so the shaper cutters are cutting with the grain as shown in Figure 31. This will minimize the chance of tear out.

Figure 32. Sequence for shaping an edge around a workpiece

(Guard Removed For Clarity).

CUTTER CONTACT HAZARD!

Cutting small or narrow workpieces greatly increases the risk of cutter contact during operation. Use jigs or holding devices when cutting to reduce this risk.

Templates

The use of templates allows identical parts to be cut with speed and accuracy. Shaping with a pattern begins by attaching a prefabricated template to the rough workpiece. The edge of the template rides against a rub collar on the spindle as the cutter cuts the matching profile on the workpiece edge as shown in Figure 33.

Template Construction Tips:

• Make sure that screws or clamps will not come into contact with the cutter.

• Design the assembly so that cutting will occur underneath the workpiece.

• Make handles for safety and control.

• Use materials that will move easily across the table surface and rub collar.

• Install hold-down clamps at three sides of the pattern assembly or screw the pattern assembly to the back side of the workpiece.

-19-

Freehand Shaping

Freehand shaping is shaping without the aid of the miter slot or fence. The most dangerous part of shaping freehand is beginning the cut, where the cutter first contacts the workpiece. Often the workpiece will tend to jerk or kickback, catching the operator off guard.

To reduce kickbacks and maintain workpiece control when freehand shaping, use a starting pin or starting block. The pin/block allows you to maintain workpiece control by anchoring and slowly pivoting the workpiece into the cutter as the cut is started (see Figure 34).

Figure 34. Starting pin operation

(Guard not shown for clarity).

Freehand shaping often requires you to remove the fence resulting in reduced protection from the cutters. ALWAYS use an auxiliary jig and take extreme care when shaping with the fence removed.

To set up the shaper for freehand shaping, do these steps:


2. Remove the fence assembly from the shaper.

3. Insert the starting pin in the best suited hole on the table so you can feed the workpiece into and against the rotation of the cutter.

4. Install the cutter so it will cut in the correct direction, and adjust the spindle height.

5. Install the safety guard. DO NOT use the shaper without a guard.

6. Use a supplemental hold-down jig like the SHOP

FOX ® W1500 Right Angle Jig shown in the

Accessories section, or you can use rubberized-handle push blocks to support or guide the workpiece and protect your hands.

7. Place the workpiece against the starting pin.

8. Slowly pivot and feed the workpiece into the cutter. Avoid starting the cut on the corner of the workpiece as kickback could occur. Once the cut is started, the workpiece should be pulled away from the starting pin.

MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1701 1HP

Shaper will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your shaper each time you use it

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Worn switch.

• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

• Damaged drive belt.

• Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Table & Base

Cleaning the Model W1701 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Maintenance

Schedule

Daily:

• Vacuum all dust on and around the machine.

• Wipe down tables and all other unpainted cast iron with a metal protectant.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of a quality metal protectant.

Every Month:

• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off of motor.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

For other items on this machine, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary.

Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust.

Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of your machine could lose their freedom of movement as a result.

SERVICE

General

This section covers the most common service adjustments or procedures that may need to be made during the life of your machine.

If you require additional machine service not included in this section, please contact Woodstock International

Technical Support at (360) 734-3482 or send e-mail to:

[email protected].

Belt Adjustment

Your shaper uses a flat-type belt on two drum-style pulleys, to compensate for different belt positions as the spindle height is adjusted.

To adjust belt, do these steps:


2. Loosen the belt adjustment bolts as shown in Figure

37.

3. Slide the motor position to increase or decrease belt tension, so the belt is snug with about 1/4" deflection when pressed lightly with your fingertips.

4. Tighten the belt adjustment bolts.

MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all service procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Figure 37. Adjusting belt tension.

-22-


Table Spacer Kit

The provided table spacer kit allows you to modify your shaper for use as a router table by raising the table. A higher table will allow you to make shallow cuts and utilize the upper blade area of most router bits with standard-length shanks.

To install the table spacer kit, do these steps:


2. Remove the spindle lock nut and any cutters or rub collars installed on the spindle.

3. Remove table from the shaper by undoing the seven bolts that secure it in place.

4. Loosen and remove the taper nut (see Figure 38) while holding the top of the spindle with a wrench.

5. Gently tap the bottom of the drawbar to knock the spindle loose.

6. Remove the spindle/drawbar assembly from the spindle cartridge.

7. Place the table spacers over the table mounting holes on the shaper.

8. Place the table on the spacers and secure it to the shaper with the hex bolts from the router table spacer kit (see Figure 39).

9. Save the removed table bolts for when you need to covert the Model W1701 back to use as a shaper.

10. Refer to Router Bit Installation on Page 17 for instructions on installing the collets and router bits.

Figure 38. Removing taper nut from drawbar.

Spindle Cartridge

Replacement

Should a bearing fail, your shaper will probably develop a noticeable rumble, which will increase when the machine is put under load. If allowed to get worse, overheating of the journal containing the bad bearing could occur, which may cause the bearing to seize and possibly damage other parts of the machine.

Rather than disassemble the spindle cartridge to remove worn out bearings, Woodstock International offers replacement spindle cartridge assemblies (Part#

X1701407) as whole units, which makes replacement very simple. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes.

To replace the spindle cartridge assembly:


2. Remove the spindle and drawbar from the spindle cartridge assembly. (Remove tapered drawbar nut and tap the drawbar up to knock it loose.)

3. Take off the spindle pulley cover by removing the two mounting bolts shown in Figure 40.

4. Loosen the two motor mount bolts, slide the motor forward, and remove the V-belt.

5. Loosen the spindle lock knob.

6. Remove the cartridge nut on the bottom of the spindle, as shown in Figure 41, and slide the pulley off.

7. Hold your hand under the spindle cartridge and remove the elevation handle by unthreading it counterclockwise. The spindle cartridge should drop into your hand.

8. Install the new cartridge assembly in the reverse order of removal.

Resurfacing Fence

The fence can be resurfaced or made flat with a jointer to correct any warping. This procedure should only be done if the fences will not align with each other after careful adjustment or they are warped.

To resurface the fence, do these steps:

1. Make sure the fence face mounting screws are far enough below the surface of the fence that they will not contact the jointer knives during operation.

Note: New fence faces can easily be made out of hard wood and resurfaced by using this same procedure.

2. Align both fence faces as straight as possible, using a straightedge or your jointer table as an alignment guide.

3. Resurface the fences on the jointer, as shown in

Figure 42.
