MORTISER USE
(fs_8-2_0.0)
SAFETY OVER ALL
DANGER-WARNING
the tool must turn in the direction indicated by the arrow as shown in fig. 8.2.
Switch on the machine for a fraction of a second and check the direction of rotation. Should
rotation be incorrect, follow the instructions listed in Chap. 4 “Electrical connection”.
Mount the tool following the instructions and warnings listed in par. 8.1.2.
Check that the tool is well tightened.
DANGER-WARNING
always make sure that the workpiece is rightly clamped on the table.
For long workpieces use a support the height of which may be adjusted and eventually add a
clamping device to the support (not supplied by
SCM
).
Work with moderate feed speed with small strokes because the bit is brittle.
Before starting working always make sure that the cutterblock is protected.
As the bit and cutterblock rotate together, after the use as a mortiser demount the bit as it is not
protected.
DANGER-WARNING
before you start machining, rest the guard (U, E
fig. 8.2) on the table so that the cutter block is
completely covered.
After adjusting the table stroke, set the workpiece against stop (B fig. 8.2)and clamp it with foot(Z fig. 8.2).
With levers (A and S fig. 8.2)start drilling in longitudinal direction with a drilling depth equal to 10 mm, then carry
out the drilling in the traverse direction along the entire length of the slot desired.
The milling may be carried out with many adiacent holes, the slot is obtained with a traverse stroke.
This technique is necessary to avoid the bit rupture (tool always brittle), to permit the chips exhaust and to avoid
the overheating of the tool which may be damaged so the working quality is not ensured.
