SETTING MORTISER FOR LENGTH OF CUT

Disconnect tool from power source!

Set the mortiser for the length of cut

(Fig. 6). Loosen the crank pin nut (T)

and turn the adjusting knob (U) until the

correct graduation mark on the slide

aligns with the line on the crank-pin

indicating washer. If you find that the

adjusting knob (U) is difficult to move,

turn the crank (E) Fig. 8 until the tension

is relieved. Tighten the crank pin nut (T),

Fig. 6 securely.

EXAMPLE: If you want your mortise to be 4" (101.6 mm) long, turn the adjusting

knob (U) until the Fig. 6 graduation mark aligns with the line on the crank-pin

indicating washer.

SETTING MORTISER FOR DEPTH OF CUT

Disconnect tool from power source!

Measure the lock box at its deepest part, including the thickness of the lock face.

Add 1/4" (6.4 mm) for clearance. The depth of cut is controlled by the feed rod

(W) Fig. 7 which is marked in 1/4" (6.4 mm) increments. Loosen the collar (X) and

move it to the determined depth requirement. Lock it in place.

MAKING A TRIAL CUT

After set-up, make a trial cut to ensure the fit of the lock box.

1. Clamp a length of 2" x 6" (50.8 x 152.4 mm), or larger lumber in vise, or

fasten it securely to a work bench, in an upright position.
