4.1 Installing Chisel and Bit (Refer to Fig. 1)
4.1.1 Loosen the lock screw.
4.1.2 Insert the chisel into the head. Tighten the screw sufficiently to hold the
chisel in place.
NOTE: Set the slot in the side of chisel to the left or right, NOT to the back or
front. This will allow chippings to escape when cutting mortises.
4.1.3 Push the chisel up into the head as far as possible. Then lower the
chisel by between 0.8mm and 1.6mm. Tighten the lock screw to hold the
chisel in place.
4.1.4 Push the bit up through the chisel opening until the end of the bit is level
with the end of the chisel. Tighten the lock screw. Lock the drill bit in
place with the chuck key.
4.1.5 Loosen the lock screw and push the chisel up against the bushing. This
will give the required gap between the end of the bit and the end of the
chisel.
4.2 Mounting the Work Stop (Refer to Fig. 2)
4.2.1 The work stop is mounted to the table as shown in fig. 2.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
 WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 Safety Instructions
before use.
5.1. Set the depth stop to the required depth of cut. Refer to fig. 3.
5.2 Place the workpiece on the table and clamp it with the vice. Use the left hand wheel to
move the table forwards or backwards to suit the position of the mortise on the
workpiece.
5.3 Adjust the table stops according to the length of cut required then tighten the thumb
screws. Refer to fig. 4.
5.4 Switch on the mortiser and feed the chisel and bit steadily into the workpiece by
pulling down the operating handle.
NOTE: The rate of feed must be fast enough to prevent burning at the tip of the bit, yet not so
fast as to cause the machine to slow, or stall.
