Maintenance
There is very little maintenance required on your morticer.
Keep it clean
Make sure the rack and pinion gears do not become
clogged with chips/sawdust.
Lightly spray oil on all exposed metal surfaces if the
machine is going to stand idle for any length of time. Keep
the chisels and augers sharp.
Once a month
Blow/suck the motor to remove any debris that might
have lodged in the fan cover.
Oil the chuck and exercise it over its full range to ensure
the oil coats all moving parts.
There are full ranges of mortice chisels and a useful sharpening sets listed online at axminster.co.uk
