Figure 1 - Unpacking

Figure 4 - Install Cylinder Top

• When both ends are snapped in place, check security with a slight tug.

• Check the movement of the head, and its return, using the handle.

INSTALLING THE TABLE

Place the two flat head screws in the top side of the

table, and attach the T-nuts loosely underneath.

Figure 5 - Attach T-Nuts

• Insert the nuts into the slots in the base of the mortiser.

Tighten the screws firmly, but not too tight.

INSTALLING THE TOOL AND CHISEL HOLDER

Slide the tool and chisel holder into the vertical slots

towards the back of the mortiser shaft.

Figure 8 - Install Chisel Holder

INSTALLING BIT AND CHISEL

Bit and chisel come boxed together, with the bit inside

the chisel.

Always make sure the mortiser is disconnected from its power source before starting to install the set.

• Always place the chip escape slot in the chisel shaft to one side, right or left, never to front or rear.

Handle chisels with care: they are exceptionally sharp. A small block of wood is a help to hold the chisel in place while the procedure goes on.

• Open the chuck access doors.

• Open the chuck as far as needed: check by remov-

ing the chisel from its drill, and using the drill shank

to size the chuck opening.

Figure 6 - InstallTable

INSTALLING THE FENCE AND HOLD-DOWN

• Locate the fence handle, rod and handle. Slide the fence shaft into the hole in the

column. Screw the handle into the hole on the outside of the

column designed to hold the fence shank, and tight- en firmly.

Slip the rod into the hole on the fence. Turn the shaft so its flat side faces the threaded hole in the fence.

Figure 7 - Install Hold-down

• Insert the set screw and secure rod to fence.

• Slip the hold down on to the rod. Insert set screw and secure hold-down to rod.

Figure 9 - Chuck Access

Loosen the front set screw on the mortiser, and slide

the chisel as far up into the head as it will go. Now,

lower the chisel about W' and tighten the set screw. This clearance is essential. The bit cutting lips and

the points of the chisel must have the correct clear-

ance; this distance provides that clearance.

Figure 10 - Chisel Bushing

• Push the bit as far up through the chisel as it will go into the open chuck. Lock the bit in the chuck using

the chuck key. The bit point should be very sharp:

use the block of wood used to insert the bit as a pusher.

• Loosen the front set screw and move chisel up to head. The proper clearance between bit and chisel is

now set.

NOTE: Hollow chisel mortiser is supplied with an adap- tor to accept short shank drill bits. To install adaptor:

• Make sure the morfiser is turned off and disconnect- ed from the power source.

• Open the access windows from both sides of the mortiser head.

• Hold the motor shaft by the flats through the access window. Use the wrench supplied.

• Through the other access window, insert chuck key into the hole on the outside of the chuck.

• Turn the chuck key counterclockwise while holding

the motor shaft.

• Loosen and remove chuck.

• Install adaptor onto motor shaft using the threaded hole. Tighten adaptor.

• Install chuck onto adaptor using the threaded hole. Tighten chuck.

POWER SOURCE

WARNING: Do not connect hollow chisel mortiser to the power source until all assembly steps have been

completed. The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and

frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safe- ly on voltages not more than 10% above or below spec- ified voltage. Running the unit on voltages which are not within range may cause overheating and motor burn- out. Heavy loads require that voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified on nameplate.

. Power supply to the motor is controlled by a rocker

switch. Removing the key from rocker switch will lock the unit and prevent unauthorized use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.

. Check with a qualified electrician if you do not under-

stand grounding instructions or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

. This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at

150V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (See Figure

12) for your protection against shock hazards.

o Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a

properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding- type receptacle, as shown (See Figure 12).

The hollow chisel mortiser weighs approximately 50 Ibs. when completely assembled. The hollow chisel mortiser

must be installed in a place with ample lighting and cor- rect power supply. To install hollow chisel mortiser:

. Make sure there is plenty of room for moving the

workpiece through the entire cut. There must be enough room that neither the operators nor the bystanders will have to stand in line with the wood while using the tool.

. Use this tool only after fastening it to the bench: the

long handle gives needed leverage for mortising, but also pulls the machine forward and over.

. Insert two lag 5/16"x 2" screws (not supplied), with flat

washers, through the holes in the base, and drive

them into the benchtop, after drilling pilot holes.

. If the mortiser is to be left portable, attach it to a 3/4"

x 13" wide x 16" long plywood base (not supplied)

that can be clamped or bolted to the benchtop.

° Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.

Inthe event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.

WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the termi- nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.

• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by an authorized service facility.

• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the elec- tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

• A 2-prong wall receptacle must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in

accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Any receptacle replacement should be performed by a qualified electrician.

A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See Figure 13) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly grounded.

DESCRIPTION

The Craftsman hollow chisel mortiser is a heaw duty, portable, machine designed to produce mortises up to

_/2"wide in hardwoods and 3/4"wide in softwoods. Slow

feeds and patience allow the user to create 3/4"wide

mortises in most hardwoods. The Craftsman mortiser is powered by a 120 volt, 4.0 amps, 60 Hz electric motor.

The mortiser uses hollow chisel mortising tools. While

the Craftsman mortiser is designed for portability, it

should never be used without secure fastening to a solid bench or other surface to prevent tipping.
