Assembly and Installation
All assembly and retrofitting work may only be performed
when the mains plug has been disconnected.
The mortiser should be secured to the stand with four M12
x 120 hexagon screws (provided), using the holes in the
base. Make sure there is enough room on each side of the
mortiser for the size stock you plan to use.
Putting into Operation
Please observe the safety instructions!
The machine may only be put into operation when all of
the protective and saftey devices have been mounted.
Installing chisel and bit
• Release the lock screw, as shown in Fig. 2.
• Insert chisel bushing (with the hole facing forward) into
the head. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the chis-
el in place.
• Place the chisel in the bushing. Firmly tighten the screw.
Attention: The slot in the side of the chisel must show
to the left or to the right, never to the front or to the
back. This will allow the ejection of chips when making
mortises.
• Push the chisel through the chisel opening upwards into
the chuck and lock it with the chuck key.
• Adjust the bit at a distance of 0.8 to 1.6 mm between
the chisel points, dictated by the type of wood.
Work piece stop, Fig. 3
The work piece stop is mounted to the table.
After the correct setting, it is fastened by means of the
clamping handles.
Operating instructions
• Set the depth stop to the required depth of cut – see Fig.
4.
• Place the work piece on the table and clamp it with the
vice. With the right hand wheel, move the table forward
and backward, with the left hand wheel move the table
to the left and to the right.
• Adjust the table stops, Fig. 5, according to the length of
cut required, then tighten the thumb screws.
• Turn the machine on and feed the chisel and bit stead-
ily into the work piece by pulling the operating handle
down. Attention: The speed of pulling the handle down
must be efficient but smooth, in order to avoid burning
at the bit. Yet if the chisel and bit are pulled down too
quickly, the machine could be overloaded. The differ-
ent rates of feed for different woods must be learned
through experience.
• After the first cut, the work piece is moved along with
the left hand wheel for each successive cut. The direc-
tion of movement must allow the chips to clear freely.
Move the work piece so that the slot in the chisel is
releasing the chips into the already cut part of the work
piece – see Fig. 6.
