Setting Up the Morticer
14
Setting the Chisel Depth
The chisel depth can be set to give two depth settings; the first
method is adjusting the setting bar and the second is to adjust
the ring collar clamp (B). First method, with the stop plate (A)
set in the angled position. Set the bar depth then lower the
head stock so the bar rests on top of the stop plate (A) giving
the first depth, see fig 21.
The second depth can also be set by repositioning the stop
plate (A) in the square position. Allowing the setting bar to
drop so the ring collar clamp (B) which rests against the stop
plate (A) giving the second depth, see fig 22.

Chuck Extension
WARNING!! DISCONNECT THE MORTICER FROM THE
MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE CONTINUING!
To increase the chuck’s travel, the morticer comes with a ‘chuck
extension’ (I). This fits between the motor spindle and the chuck.
To fit the extension, first open the chuck access doors. Using
the spanner (D) hold the chuck in place, turn the large nut
downwards on the spindle to push the chuck assembly off the
tapered spindle. Clean the spindle to remove any build up of
debris.
Note: before fitting the extension, wind the large nut back
up the spindle.
Insert the extension (I) up over the motor spindle, then replace
the chuck by inserting it over its extension. Place a piece of
wood against the chuck and tap firmly home using a high face
mallet. Assemble the chisel as described on page 12 and close
both chuck doors. Continue with operation.
