Support long workpieces with helping roller stands.
7. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out after
the machine is protected against accidental starting by
pulling the mains plug.
7.1 Installing chisel and bit
Disconnect the machine from the power source (unplug).
Open the chuck access doors on both sides of the head.
Insert the chisel bushing (3, Fig 5) with the hole facing
forward into the head.
Insert chisel and bit together.
Tighten the screw (2) just enough to hold the chisel (4) in
place.
Fig 5
NOTE:
The slot in the chisel should face to the right or left side only.
The opening will allow chips to escape during operation.
Push the chisel up as far as possible into the head. Then
lower the chisel 1.5 to 4mm, depending on the type of wood
being worked. Tighten the screw to hold the chisel in place.
Push the bit up through the chisel opening as far as it will go.
Lock the drill bit in place with the chuck key.
Loosen the screw and push the chisel up against the bushing
and tighten the screw. This should provide the proper
distance between the points of the chisel and the bit.
NOTE: The chisel should be adjusted parallel. Use the
workpiece as a gauge (Fig 6).
Fig 6
Close the chuck access doors before starting the machine.
Using bits with shorter shanks:
It will be necessary to attach the spindle extension.
Place the supplied 32mm open spanner on the chuck release
nut and use the chuck key to hold the chuck.
Force off the chuck with the chuck release nut.
Attach the spindle extension to the chuck and reinstall.
7.2 Sharpening chisel and bit
The chisel and bit should be kept sharp for best performance.
Sharpen the bit by using a small file, following the original
shape of the bit.
File the inside edge of the spur (A, Fig 7), the sides of the
centre point (B) and the cutting edge inwards toward the flute
of the bit (C)
Fig 7
Do not file the outside edges of the spur as this will affect the
diameter of the bit.
Sharpen the chisel on the cutting edge inside only.

The table can be tilted up to 35
q
for angle mortising.
