Operating Instructions
1. Set the depth of the mortice with the lower of the two depth stops (Fig C) on page 8.
The upward travel of the head can be limited by adjusting the upper stop; this prevents
unnecessary movement of the operating handle when cutting shallow mortices.
2. Place the workpiece on the table and clamp in position with the vice or the hold down
clamps. Use the left handwheel to move the table forwards and backwards in order to
position the mortice in the required position across the timber.
3. Adjust the two table stops shown in Fig D on page 9 to give the required length of
mortice and tighten up the two thumbscrews.
4. Turn the machine on and feed the chisel and bit steadily into the work by pulling down on
the operating handle. The handle can be re-positioned on its spindle so that it is in the most
convenient position.
5. After making the first cut, the table is moved along with the left hand wheel for successive
cuts until the mortice is complete. The direction of movement of the table will depend on
which side of the chisel the clearance slot is located - movement should be away from the
slot so that the chippings can clear freely.
6. The rate of feed of the chisel should be fast enough to prevent burning of the tip of the
chisel but not so fast as to risk breaking the auger. The ideal speed for any combination of
chisel size and timber type will be learned through experience.
7. Deep mortices are best cut in a series of shallower cuts to allow the chippings to clear
and prevent blocking of the chisel.
