for which the tool was intended,
8, WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry, These items
can get caught in the machine during operations
and pull the operator into the moving parts, The
user must wear a protective cover on their hair, if
the hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any
moving parts,
11,
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELEC-
TRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments,

12,
KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN
WORKING ORDER.
13,
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING, Make sure that

Use dust collection system whenever possible,
Exposure to the dust may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death, Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid pro-
longed contact with dust, Allowing dust to get into
your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may pro-
mote absorption of harmful material, Always use
properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and
wash exposed areas with soap and water,
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of
the extension cord is, if in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord, An
undersized cord wHUcause a drop in HnevoUtage resuUt-
ing in a bss of power and overheating, USE ONLY A
3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG
GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG,
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use,
Be sure your extension cord is property sized, and
in good electrical condition, Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it,
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas,

27, USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION, When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw, Please see minimum recom-
mended gauge for extension cords (AWG) table for
correct sizing of an extension cord, if in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge,
![](/html/a9/a9ba/a9ba209c6c70c59438b17b08cb9e3f68ce9b427c677210278a7a36acced1721f/bg5.png)
THINSTOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHmLEmNUSE
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRmC
SHOCK.
mNTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTmON OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of bast resistance
for eUectriccurrent and reduces the risk of eUectric
shock. This tooUis equipped with an eUectric cord that
has an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing pUug.The pUugMUST be pUugged into a matching
eUectricaUreceptacle that is properUy installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL bcaU codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED, if it wHUnot
fit the eUectrbaUreceptacb, have the proper eUectrbaU
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip°
ment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
The motor supplied with your Mortiser is a 120°volt,
singb-phase motor. It is shipped wired for 120°volt
application. Never connect the green wire to a live
terminal.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A 3=PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE 1. FIGURE 1
shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as
shown in FIGURE 2 can be used to temporarily connect
this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The
adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be
connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS
PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
This Mortiser is for indoor use only, Do not expose to
rain or use in damp locations,

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 hobs (A)
located in the mortiser base,

ASSEMBLING CHUSEL AND BIT
Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the
power source.
ChbeUs are very sharp and can cause a serious cut.
Take extreme caution when handling chiseUs.

Lower chiseU1/16" to 3/16" and tighten set screw.
There must be a space of 1/16" to 3/16" cbarance
(G) between the bushing (H) and shouUder of
chiseU(U)as shown in Figure 17. This assures
having proper clearance between the cutting edges
of the bit and points of the chiseUafter the bit is
inserted into the chuck.

wood it may be necessary to increase this
distance to a maximum of 3/16" clearance,

ON-OFF SWITCH
DEPTH STOP ROD
The switch is Uocatedon the side of the motor, To turn
the machine on flip the switch up to the "ON" position,
To turn the machine off, move the switch down to the
"OFF" position,

When the tooUis not in use, the switch shouUd be Uocked
in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized use, This
can be done by grasping the switch toggUe (A) and
pulling it out of the switch, With the switch toggUe
removed, the switch wHUnot operate, ShouUdthe toggUe
be removed while the machine is running, the switch
can be turned off once, but cannot be restarted without
inserting the switch toggUe, See Figure 21,
RAISUNG AND LOWERUNG THE HEAD
Figure 23

The depth stop rod is provided to Hmit the depth of the
chisel, See Figure 23,
Figure 22

The head is raised and lowered by using the lever, For
maximum leverage during the mortising operation, the
lever can be repositioned by pulling out the hub (A) of
the lever assembly and repositioning hub on the pinion
shaft (B), See figure 22,

To adjust the depth stop rod (A), loosen set screw
(B) using provided 4mm T handle allen wrench,

Lower head until the chisel(C) is at the desired
depth,

The Fence can be moved in and out to accommodate
various size workpbces,
1, To move Fence, bosen Lock Knob (A) See Figure 24,
2, Loosen Fence Lock Handb (C) until the Fence
GUideShaft (B) can slide freeUy,
3, SHde Fence in or out to the desired bcation,
4, Tighten Fence Lock Handb to bck the fence in pUace,
MICRO ADJUST ASSEMBLY
Sometimes it is necessary to move the fence in small
increments, When this is the case, the Micro Adjust
AssemMy shouUd be used,
1, Make sure that the Lock Knob (A) is tightened
down on the Fence GUideShaft (B), See Figure 24,
The purpose of the holddown is to prevent the work-
piece from lifting as the chisel is raised up,
1, To adjust, loosen set screw (A), See Figure 25,
2, Position HoUddown (B) until it just touches the top of
the workpbce (C) and allows the workpbce to slide
left or right,
NOTE: The holddown can be turned upside down to
accommodate thicker workpieces,
3, Once Holddown is in position, retighten set screw,
2, Loosen the Fence Lock Handb (C) so that the
Fence (D) may slide smootHy,
3,
Rotate the Adjustment Knob (E) clockwise to move
the fence in towards the mortiser column, Rotate
counterclockwise to move the fence away from the
mortiser column,
