BASIC OPERATIONS
1. Layout and mark workpieces for the mortises to be cut.
2. Install the appropriate chisel and bit in the chuck.
3. Place the stock on the table against the fence .
4. Set the depth stop.
5. Loosen the fence locking levers and adjust the fence until the
workpiece is positioned with the mortise to be cut centered on the
chisel .
NOTE: If necessary, lower the chisel onto the
workpiece to make sure the layout lines of the mortise
are aligned with the bit.
6. With the fence now set to the correct front to back position, tighten
the two fence locking levers to hold the fence in place.
7. So that the chips are discharged into the part of the mortise which is
already cut, and that the part to be cut remains well visible, set the
workpiece on the table with the bit aligned with either:
- The left end of the mortise if the chip clearing slot is facing left (d);
- The right end of the mortise if the chip clearing slot is facing right (e);
NOTE: To avoid overheating or damage to the chisel or bit,
do not position the slot against the blind end of the mortise
as this would prevent the chips from discharging from the
chisel.
8. If multiple workpieces are to be mortised in an identical manner, adjust
the workpiece stop to allow to position the next workpiece at the exact
same location(F).
9. Tighten the table roller to hold the workpiece securely against the
fence.
10. Adjust the workpiece hold down until slightly above the workpiece
and tighten(G).
11. Turn on the machine.
12. Lower the chisel into the workpiece using a steady even pressure
until it bottoms out on the depth stop.
