Instruction manual

If during operation there is any tendency for the

mortiser to tip over, slide or walk on the supporting

surface, the base must be secured to the supporting

surface with fasteners (not supplied), through the two

holes (A) Fig. 9, located in the mortiser base.

1. Insert the bit (A) Fig. 10 in the chisel (B).

NOTE: The opening (C) on the side of the chisel (that

allows chips to escape) should always face the side,

never the front or rear.

2. Loosen the screw (D) Fig. 11, and push the chisel (B) up through the hole in the head as far as possible. Lower the

chisel (B) 1/16" to 3/16" and tighten the set screw (D).

IMPORTANT: When inserting the chisel (B) Fig. 12 into the head, leave a space of 1/16" to 3/16" clearance (F) between

the bushing (E) and the shoulder of the chisel (B).

3. Push the bit (A) Fig. 13 up through the chisel and into the chuck (G) as far as it will go. Lock the bit in the chuck

using the supplied chuck key.

4. Loosen the set screw (D) Fig. 14, and push the chisel (B) against the bottom of the bushing (E), and tighten the set screw

(D) to provide the proper distance between the cutting lips of the bit and the points of the chisel.
