holding it in place. The bushing should still
have about 1/4" of vertical travel margin.
The chis el to a uger cle aranc e (see F igure 5) is the
vertical 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 the foll owing
steps.
6. Position spacers (B) so they rest against the
bushing above the lip (J).

Figure 8
Power Connection
Do not operate this machin e in
damp locations.
A separate electri c al circuit should 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
characteri stic s as indicated on the machine. All line
connections should make good contact. Running
on low voltage will damage the machine.

Grounding Instructions
This machine must be
grounded whi le in use to pro tect the u ser from
shock
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric curr ent to r educ e t he ri sk of electric shock.
If you are not sure whet her your outlet i s properly
grounded, consult a qualified electrician.
Referring t o Figure 9: As rec eiv ed from the factory ,
your morti ser is ready t o run at 115-v olt operati on.
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 adaptor , 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 green c olor ed rigi d ear, lug, or tab,
extending fr om the adaptor, m ust be connected to
a permanent gr ound such as a properly grounded
outlet box.

workpiece as follows:
1. Loosen the two clamps (A) that secure the
fence (B).
2. With the adjust knob (C), mov e 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 f orce.
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

Page 14
Fence and Clamp
Referring to Figur 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 back ward:
1. Loosen two clamps (A) that 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 clamp c an
be used. Both options 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 the
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 t he cl am p.
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 t o be repositioned 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 repositioning 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 ckne sses.

Page 15
Operation
1. Set the depth stop t o the requir ed depth 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 de scribed 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 m achine and feed the c hisel and
auger steadily int o workpiece by pulling 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 clear . To prevent breakout at the back of
the workpiece when cutti ng through mortises, use
a piece of scrap material under the workpiece as
support.
Rotating Column
Referring to Figur 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: onl y
one screw is visible in Figure 15.
2. Rotate the column (A) 180º.
3. Replace the four screws, loc k washer s and fl at
washers.
The base must be secured to
the work be nc h.

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 damaged i n 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 applic ations of oil or grease to
lubricate linkages, moving parts, etc.
Sharpening Chisel and Auger
Figure 16
The chisel and auger should be k ept sharp for best
performance. Blunt edges will give inaccurate
mortises and can lead to overheating and
breakage to chisel or auger . If c hisel 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) .
Do not file t he outside edge of the spur, as thi s wil l
affect the diamet er of t he auger.
Chisel
Referring to Figur e 17:
Sharpen the chisel (A) with the chisel sharpening
cone (B) located on the top of the column next to
the tool holder. Set the chisel (A) on the
sharpening cone (B) and rotate back and forth 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 to
remove any burrs.
Figure 17
Lubrication
All of the ball beari ngs are packed with gr ease at
the factory. They require no further lubrication.
Periodically grease the gears, racks, and table
pivot points with a #2 tube gr ease.
Periodically clean and oil any exposed machine
surfaces, such as: dove-tail ways and slides, and
table surface.
