Mounting

Machine positioned near edge of bench.
Do not connect the
machine to power at
this time. The machine
must remain unplugged
throughout the entire
assembly process. Failure
to do this may result in
serious personal injury.
The Model W1671 Mortising Machine can be
mounted to any workbench sturdy enough to
support the combined weight of the machine
and workpiece and which allows a comfortable
working height. The bench should be located
where plenty of working clearance exists for
larger workpieces. The mortising machine must
be bolted to the bench, and to help avoid a tip-
ping hazard,
should be bolted away from the
front edge
. The mortising machine has a pivot-
ing feature which allows the head and column
assembly to pivot around the base. For this rea-
son, the machine should be located near enough
to one end of the bench top to allow mortising
long workpieces.
See Figure 8.
Follow the instructions on the next page to
mount the mortising machine.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire assembly
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
