•
Do not have the slot against the blind end of the mortise, as the chips will
not be able to clear from the chisel. This will cause overheating and possible
breakage to the chisel or bit.
•
When cutting deep mortises, make the cut in several stages of approximately
25mm each, to allow chips to clear.
•
When performing a through mortise, a piece of wood should be placed between
the workpiece and the table. This prevents the wood from splintering when breaking
through the bottom of the mortise and also prevents damage to the table.
•
Always switch the mortising machine off after use. Never leave the machine
running unattended.
