Additional Safety for Mortising Machines
4. CHISEL COMPATIBILITY. Make sure the
mortising bit fits a minimum of
1
⁄
2
" into the
chuck.
5. ADJUSTMENTS. Do not adjust the machine
or workpiece while the mortiser is running.
Wait for the spindle to come to a complete
stop and unplug the machine before con-
tinuing.
6. INSPECTING MACHINE. Inspect the machine
for smooth head casting movement, loose
drill bits/chisel housing, and loose nuts/
bolts before connecting the machine to
power and operating. Correct any problems
before use.
7. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties per-
forming the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Contact Tech Support at
(570) 546-9663.
1. HAND PROTECTION. Do not place your
hands under an installed chisel at any time
or near the chisel while the spindle is in
motion. Chisels may become hot during
operation! Allow chisels to cool before han-
dling. Chisels are sharp! Always use caution
when handling, especially when installing
or removing.
2. USING CORRECT MATERIALS. Do not use
the machine for anything except mortising
in wood. Materials such as metals, plastics,
and glass can damage the machine, result-
ing in personal injury.
3. RESPIRATOR AND SAFETY GLASSES.
Always wear a respirator and safety glasses
while operating the machine. Dust and
chips are created when mortising. Some
debris will be ejected, becoming hazards
to the eyes and lungs.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is potential danger
associated with this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
