from the crate base, keep this mounting hardware so you can use it
to fasten the base to a workbench. Some parts are coated with rust
prevention wax which must be removed before operation with a soft
cloth soaked in kerosene. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer
thinner; these are dangerous products and may damage the plastic
and rubber parts. It is recommended to apply a coat of paste wax to
the sliding table work surface.

For your safety, to avoid toppling the mortiser during use, fasten the
mortiser base to a work bench or a stand. An optional stand
(SS-1050ST) designed for this machine is available, simply ask your
King Canada distributor for more information.
