Chisel and bit Installation
WARNINg
: Make sure switch is in the
OFF
position and power cord is unplugged be-
fore performing checks, adjustments, or setup procedures.
1. Loosen cap screw (A) Fig.9.
2. Make sure chisel bushing (B) is installed inside the hole in the head. Tighten cap
screw (A) just enough to hold the chisel bushing in place.
3. Insert bit (C) into chisel (D) and insert chisel and bit up through the hole in head.
Push the chisel up as far as possible into the head, then lower chisel approximately
1/16". This setting is only temporary, the chisel will need to be repositioned against
the head once the bit is secure, tighten the cap screw (A) to hold the chisel in place.
NOTE
: The opening in the side of the chisel should always be to the right or left, never
to the front or rear. The opening allows chips to escape during operation.
4. Lower the plastic covers on both sides of the head to expose the chuck (E).
5. Push the drill bit (C) up through the chisel opening making sure that drill bit bottoms
out in chisel before bottoming out in the chuck. Secure the bit in the chuck using the
chuck key supplied.
6. Loosen cap screw (A) and push chisel up all the way into the head and retighten
cap screw. This should provide the proper distance (1/16”) between the points of
the chisel and the bit.
NOTE
: For certain types of wood it may be necessary to increase this distance up to a
maximun of 3/16" clearance. This assures having proper clearance between the cutting
lips of the bit and the points of the chisel.
