OPERATION
1. Set the fence to suit the position of the mortise on the workpiece. Make
sure the fence and chisel are square to each other (see p14), and tighten
in place.
2. Make any fine adjustments to the fence to move the workpiece in or out
by using the adjuster at the rear of the fence (see p14).
3. Set the depth stop to the required depth of cut as described on page 15.
4. Ensure the Hold Down rests gently on the surface of the workpiece, but not
so tight as it prevents the workpiece from moving, and lock into position. If
necessary, use packing pieces between the workpiece and the hold down
• If working on long workpieces, support the timber along its length.
5. Ensure the workpiece is held firmly against the fence.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
1. The ON-OFF switch is located on the motor. Raise the RED cover and push
the GREEN button to switch the machine ON.
2. Push the RED button or the RED cover to switch the machine OFF.
NOTE:
The switch is a No Volt Release type. If the supply is interrupted,
the ON/OFF switch will automatically revert to the OFF position.
This is a safety device to prevent the machine from starting again,
should the supply be restored.
3. With the machine running, feed the chisel and bit steadily into the
workpiece by pulling down on the operating handle.
NOTES
• It is recommended that you check the position and depth of cut, on
a piece of scrap before cutting your workpiece.
• The rate of penetration of the chisel must be fast enough to prevent
burning at the tip of the bit, but not so fast as to cause the machine
to slow or stall. With experience you will find suitable feed rates to suit
various types of timber.
• You may encounter smoke from the bit or material once the chisel
has engaged the material. The smoke created is a natural operating
occurrence in hollow chisel morticing and is caused by material
chip friction and the resins in the stock being burned off. Blueing of
the chisel after initial use is not indicative of a dull chisel, but a
combination of friction and resin buildup on the cutting faces of the
chisel.
