Chuck Extension Adaptor
The Mortiser is supplied with a chuck intended
for use with augers having long shanks. Augers
come with long or short shanks, depending upon
the manufacturer. See Figure 10.
The chuck extension adaptor is used for
mounting a short-shank auger. Proceed as
follows (Figure 11):
1. Remove chisel and auger.
2. Hold the spindle still by inserting the chuck
key into the chuck and allowing it to wedge
against the edge of the headstock. Use the
provided chuck removal wrench to lower the
chuck release nut, which will force the chuck
off the spindle. Catch the chuck when it falls
to prevent it being damaged.
3. Return the chuck release nut to its former
high position on the spindle.
4. Push the optional adaptor onto the spindle
as shown. Then firmly push the chuck onto
the adaptor.
Tool Storage
A shelf and perforated cushion inside the
cabinet are convenient for storing the
accessories.
The chuck key can also be stored on the clips at
the rear of the mortiser column (see Figure 7).
Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The mortiser is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided
– if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding connector.
