Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded while in
use to protect the operator from electric
shock and possible fatal injury.
Before connecting power, make sure the
electrical current of your power source matches
the electrical system on the shaper.
To connect power, proceed as follows:
1. Remove two screws (A, Figure 14) and
remove terminal strip cover (B, Figure 14).
2. Remove clear plastic insulator (C, Figure 15)
that covers the terminals.
3. Insert power line through opening (D, Figure
14) of terminal strip box.
4. Connect the three power lines to terminals
L1, L2 and L3, as shown (E, Figure 16).
Also connect the green ground wire to
terminal (F, Figure 16).
5. Reassemble the clear plastic insulator (C,
Figure 15) and the terminal strip cover (B,
Figure 14).
Make sure incoming power
matches voltage on motor plate.
6. The shaper is prewired 230V. If you will be
connecting to 460V power, you must
first:
• Connect the inbound line on the
transformer from the 230V to the 460V
post, and wire motor to 460V.
• Set overload relay to lowest setting.
The same controls will be used as for 230V.
7. Turn the machine on and make sure the
direction of the shaft rotation is correct.
Looking down on the top of the spindle, the
spindle should be turning counterclockwise
as shown in Figure 17. If it is not, reverse
any two incoming power leads.
8. When wiring is completed, tape all power
box joints to keep out dust.
After connecting this
machine to the power source, the terminal
box is still electrified even while the power
switch is shut off. Open the terminal box
only when power has been disconnected
