A new shaper should be very carefully unpacked and installed so that all of the fine accuracy that has been built into the
shaper by the manufacturer will be retained.
Do not allow a hammer or crow bar to strike the shaper while unpacking, as this may cause serious damage. Look
carefully in all packing material for small parts, instruction material, etc. Study reference books and instruction sheets
carefully before setting up the shaper.
Clean the new shaper thoroughly with cloth and kerosene. Wipe with a clean cloth and immediately cover all unpainted
surfaces with a film of good machine oil to prevent rusting. Wipe off the old oil occasionally and do not allow dust, chips or
dirt to accumulate. Cover the shaper with plastic service cover or canvas when not in use. Keep the finished surfaces
clean and well oiled and the shaper will retain its new appearance.
It is very important that the shaper be set on a solid foundation and that it is carefully and accurately leveled. For best
results the shaper should be set on a concrete foundation. A wood floor should be braced to prevent sagging and vibration
if it is not substantially constructed. The shaper may be leveled by placing shims of hardwood or metal under the lugs at
the bottom of the stand.
Use a precision level and check both from side to side and from front to back across the work table.
