this equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended. Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements. ⚠WARNING WORK AREA SAFETY Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g.
of children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than the tool itself. Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
Mounting on the drill press table: 1. A minimum of 1-2’’ thick plywood panel should be installed between the fence and top of the drill press table to prevent damage to the bit and chisel when cutting the mortise. Drill a mounting hole in the plywood to match the slots in the drill press table. 2. Place a washer (#12) on each of the 4-1/4’’ screws (#14). Feed screws from underneath the drill press, through the plywood, fence (#10), and rod holder (#9). Secure with washers (#12) and wing nuts (#11). 3.
4. Loosen the two wing nuts (#11) and align the work piece with the bit and chisel. Slide the work piece along the fence to make sure the cut is along the required line. Once aligned, tighten the wing nuts. 5. When cutting a mortise, cut the ends first. Then make subsequent cuts between these holes. The cuts may overlap and the chisel’s bit slot should face the previously cut hole. Note: For best results, the spindle speed should be between 650 to 1800 RPMs.
Failure Possible Cause Corrective Action (1) For end cuts, lift the chisel periodically when drilling. Wood chips are getting jammed between the chisel and bit. Chips are not properly clearing out of the chisel. (2) Ensure the open side of the chisel is facing an already drilled area. (3) Reduce the cutting area and increase the overlap on subsequent holes.
