2. Swing two bushing spacers (B) away f rom the

head (C).

3. Loosen the lock screw (D).

4. Insert the chisel bushing* (E) into the head (C),

lining up the hole (F) with the lock screw (D).

5. Set the lock screw (D) so the threaded end

extends into the hole (F) of the bushing (E), holding it in place. The bushing should still have about 1/4" of vertical travel margin.

The chis el to a uger c lear ance (see F igure 5) is the vertic al cl ear anc e between the auger and chisel.

When assembled, the proper chisel to auger clearance i s dependant on the chisel size and t he position of the chisel (adjustable) with respect to the auger (which is fixed). The position of the chisel is set with spacers described in t he following steps.

6. Position spacers (B) so they rest against the

bushing above the lip (J).

Number of spacers to use:

 For chisels 1/2" or less – use the

upper spacer only

 For chisels greater than 1/2" – use

both spacers

Chisels are extremely sharp. Use extreme care when handling to prevent perso nal injur y .

7. Insert the auger (K) into the chisel (L). Then

insert the assembly through the bushing (E). Using gloves or a bl ock of wood, press up on the auger as far as it will go. The shank should slide into the opening in the bottom of the chuck (M).

Referring to Fi gur e 8:

1. From hardware kit insert the diamond

sharpening cone (E) i nto the opening (F ) at t he top of the colum n.

2. Secure with the setscrew (G). The threaded

opening is located behind the tool holder (A) which needs to be rai sed to ac c ess.

Electrical

115V/230V Operation

The Powermatic 701 Mortiser comes pre-wired from the fact ory to operate at 115V . The motor c an be rewired to operate at 230V (see Wiring Diagram) which will also require a 230V plug and electrical outlet. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Figure 7

Figure 8

Power Connection

Do not operate this machin e in damp locations.

A separate elect ri c al ci r c uit shoul d be used for your machines. This circuit should be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. If an extensi on cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle, which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch is in the Off position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All li ne connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

Figure 9

Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded whi le in use to pro tect the u ser fro m shock

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

If you are not sure whether your outlet i s properly grounded, consult a qualified electrician.

Referring t o Figure 9: A s receiv ed from the factor y, your morti ser is ready t o run at 115-v olt operat ion. This mortiser is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrat ed in (A). A temporary adapt or, which looks like the adaptor shown in (B), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified elec trician. This adaptor i s not applicable in Canada. The gr een col ored rigi d ear, l ug, or tab, extending fr om the adaptor, m ust be connected to a permanent gr ound such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Figure 10

Operating Controls

Start/Stop Switch

Referring to Fi gur e 10: The Start/Stop switch is located to the left of the

motor. Flip the switch out to start; flip in to stop. The yellow insert is a switch lock which prevents

the mortiser fr om bei ng star ted when removed.

Adjustments

Depth Stop Adjustment

Referring to Fi gur e 11: A depth stop is provided to limit the depth, or

downward travel, of the chisel. This enables the operator to make repeated boring operations without the need t o m easure each bor e. To adjust:

1. Loosen the lock handle ( A ) and br ing the depth

stop (B) to rest at the bottom of the column.

2. With the operating handle (C) lower the

head (D) until the chisel (E) is at the desired depth.

3. Bring the depth stop (B) up until it comes to

rest against the bot tom of the head (D).

4. Tighten the lock handle (A).

Figure 11

Handle Position Adjustment

Referring to Fi gur e 11: The handle assembly is spring-loaded permitting

the operating handle (C) to be repositioned by pulling out the hub (F) and repositioning it (G) in 36º increments on the pi nion shaf t for a t otal of ten available posi tions.

Chisel Parallel to Workpiece

Referring to Fi gur e 12: The chisel can be adjusted parallel to the

workpiece as follows:

1. Loosen the two clamps (A) that secure the

fence (B).

2. With the adjust k nob (C), move the fence back

far enough to insert the workpiece (D) between the chisel (F) and fence (B). Raise the workpiece hold-down clamp (E) if necessary.

3. With the operating handle (G) bring the head

down until the chi sel points are almost at the table level.

4. Bring the fence (B) forward with the adjust

knob (C) until the front edge of the workpiece (D) r ests agai nst the back surface of

the chisel (F), but do not force.

5. Loosen the chisel lock handle (H). This will

allow the chisel to rotate.

Further adjust t he c hisel by hand if needed.

6. Tighten the lock handle (H) while making sure

the bushing maintains contact with the head casting to preserve the clearance setting..

Figure 12

Fence and Clamp

Referring to Fi gur e 13: The 701 Mortiser is equipped with a

forward/backward movement adjustable fence (B) and hold-down clamp (F, K, L) for securing the workpiece during m or tising operations.

Fence Adjust ment

To adjust the fence ( B) f or ward or backward:

1. Loosen two clamps (A) t hat lock the fence.

2. Turn the knob (C) and adjust the fence (B)

forward or backward (D) to the desired position.

3. Lock the clamps (A).

Hold-down Clamp

There are two ways that t he hold-down clam p can be used. Both opti ons are described below.

Option One – workpiece securely clamped to the table. If multiple mortises are needed, this will require the clamp to be loosened, workpiece moved, and clamp secured again.

To clamp the workpiece:

1. Loosen the clamp lock knob (H) and clamp

position lock knob (G).

2. Place the workpiece on t he table ( E) u nder t he

prongs of the clamp (F) (see Note below) and against the fence.

3. Tighten the clamp lock knob (H) until the

workpiece is secured.

Option two – workpiece partially clamped. If multiple mortises are needed, the workpiece can be moved by hand without repetitively loosening and tightening the clamp.

To clamp the workpiece:

1. Loosen the clamp lock knob (H) and clamp

position lock knob (G).

2. Place the workpiece on the table (E) (see Note

below) under the pr ongs of the clamp (F) and against the fence (B).

3. Bring the clamp down so the prongs rest on

the workpiece, but do not press against the workpiece.

4. Tighten the clamp position lock knob (G).

This will constr ain t he workpiec e and prev ent it from being lif ted when the chisel is raised, yet still all ow the workpiece to be r epositioned by hand. However, the operator will still need to hold the workpiece in position against the fence.

Figure 13

The following step i s an option which will hold the workpiece securely agai nst the f ence yet still allow operator to reposi tioning by hand.

5. Loosen the roller guides lock knobs (K).

6. Press the tabs (L) to secure the workpiece between the wheels (M) and fence (B).

7. Tighten the lock knobs (K).

Note: If needed, the hold-down clamp can be reversed (K, L) to accommodate a wide range of wood thi cknesses.

Operation

1. Set the depth s top to the r equired dept h of cut (refer to the Depth Stop Adjust ment secti on on page 12).

2. Place workpiece on table and against the fence.

3. Adjust the fence until the workpiece is in the correct position (see the Fence and Clamp section on page 14).

4. Clamp the workpiece or set the clamp to the desired height as described in the Fence and Clamp section on page 14)

Before turn ing the machine on,

verify that the chu ck key is not in the chu ck.

5. Turn on the machi ne and feed the chisel and auger steadily int o workpiece by pul ling down

the operating handle.

After the first cut, move the workpiece along for each successive cut. The direction of movement must allow the chips to clear freely. Move the workpiece so that the sl ot in t he chisel is rel easing chips into the already cut part of the workpiece (Figure 14).

Do not have the chisel slot against the blind end of the mortise, as the chips will not be able to clear the chisel. This can cause overheating and possible breakage of chisel or auger.

When cutting deep mortises, make the cut in several stages of approximately 1" each, to allow chips to cl ear. To prevent breakout at the back of the workpiece when cutti ng through mortises, use a piece of scrap materi al under the workpiece as support.

Rotating Column

Referring to Fi gur e 15: The column can be rotated 180º as shown to

permit m ortising large workpieces off the table. To rotate the column:

1. Using a 4mm hex wrench, r em ov e four screws,

lock washers and flat washers (C) Note: only one screw is visible in Figure 15.

2. Rotate the column (A) 180º.

3. Replace the four screws, l ock washer s and fl at

washers.

The base must be secured to the work be nc h.

Figure 14

Figure 15

Maintenance

Before any intervention on the machine, disconnect it from the electrical supply by pulling out the plug or switching off the main switch ! Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

General

A coat of paste wax applied to the table and column will hel p to keep the surfaces clean.

If the power cord i s worn, cut, or dam aged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

The Mortiser requires only minor maintenance, such as cleaning and lubrication and routine adjustment and sharpening of the chisel and auger.

Dust the machine down after each use and, as necessary, use l ight appli cations of oil or gr ease to lubricate linkages, moving parts, etc.

Sharpening Chisel and Auger

The chisel and auger should be kept sharp f or best performance. Blunt edges will give inaccurate mortises and can lead to overheating and breakage to chi sel or auger . If chisel and auger ar e badly worn and become difficult to sharpen, they should be replaced.

Auger

Sharpen the auger by using a small, smooth file, following the original shape of the auger. File the inside edge of the spur, the sides of the brad point, and the cutting edge inwards toward the flute of the auger (Figure 16) .

Figure 16

Figure 17

Do not file t he outsi de edge of the spur, as this wil l affect the diameter of the auger.

Chisel

Referring to Fi gur e 17: Sharpen the chisel (A) with the chisel sharpening

cone (B) loc ated on the top of t he column next to the tool holder. Set the chisel (A) on the sharpening cone (B ) and rotate b ac k and fort h until sharpened (C).

Note: Make sure the set-screw is tight to prev ent the cone from spinni ng.

Using a fine stone or micro-abrasive on a flat surface, lap t he outside faces of the mortise bit t o remove any burrs.

Lubrication

All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication. Periodically grease the gears, racks, and table pivot points wit h a #2 tube grease.

Periodically clean and oil any exposed machine surfaces, such as: dove-tail ways and slides, and table surface.

Storage

If the mortiser will be stored for an extended period, use the depth stop t o hel p secur e the h ead in position; this will relieve stress upon the hydraulic cyli nder .
