Please dispose of the packaging responsibly; much of
the material is biodegradable. The machine and its
accessories will arrive coated with heavy corrosion
preventative grease and greased wax paper.
These may need to be cleaned from the machine, its
components and accessories prior to it being set up
and commissioned. Use paraffin or a proprietary
degreaser to remove the barrier grease.
Read the manual thoroughly, familiarising
yourself with the correct safety, operating
and maintenance procedures before
proceeding further.
The machine and cabinet are both
supplied fully assembled so the
initial assembly work is
limited to positioning the
morticer on the cabinet
and securing using four long
hexagon head bolts, nuts
and washers, see fig 1.
Place the machine onto a
suitable surface, that will enable
you to work comfortably and
to ensure that there is adequate
room on either side for
the size of timber
you plan to use.
Once you are
happy, bolt the
morticer
assembly down.
