Dust the machine down after each use and, as necessary, use light applications of oil or grease to lubricate linkages,
moving parts, etc.
SHARPENING CHISEL & BIT
The chisel and bit should be kept sharp for best performance. Blunt edges will give inaccurate
mortises and can lead to overheating and breakage to chisel or bit. If chisel and bit are badly worn and become difficult to
sharpen, they should be replaced.
1. Sharpen the bit by using a small, smooth file,
following the original shape of the bit
. File the inside edge of the spur, the
sides of the brad point, and the cutting edge inwards toward the flute of the bit. See Fig. 13. Do not file the outside edge
of the spur as this will affect the diameter of the bit.
Fig 13
2. Sharpen the chisel with a mortise chisel cutter with the correct size pilot. (Pilot size will differ
depending on the size of your chisel). Two or three turns of the cutter in a carpenter's brace chuck should be enough to
sharpen the chisel, as shown in Fig. 14
Fig 14
Fig 15
3. Use a small, triangular, smooth file to relieve the inner corners of the chisel. See Fig.15.
Remove any burrs from the outside of the chisel with a fine oilstone.
