Assembly
Do not connect the machine
to
power
source
until
completely
assembled. Read and understand the entire
manual.
Wooden Table
Referring to Figure 1:
1. Place the wooden table (A) in position on
the slide (B).
Figure 1
Operating Handle

1. Fasten operating handle (A) to the hub (B)
and tighten with a 14mm open-end wrench.
2. Raise mortising machine head to the up
position by moving the operating handle
(A) up.
Note: The handle assembly is spring-loaded
and can be repositioned by pulling out the
hub (B) and repositioning it on the pinion
shaft (C).

Electrical
Power Connection
Do not
machine
operate this
in
damp
locations.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for
your machines. This circuit should not be less
than #12 wire and should be protected with a
20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is
used, use only 3-wire extension cords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
matching receptacle, which will accept the
machines plug. Before connecting the machine
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
Off position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as indicated on
the machine. All line connections should make
good contact. Running on low voltage will
damage the machine.
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be
grounded while in use to
protect the user from shock
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
If you are not sure whether your outlet is
properly grounded, consult a qualified
electrician.
Referring to Figure 5: As received from the
factory, your mortiser is ready to run at 115-volt
operation. This mortiser is intended for use on
a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks
like the one illustrated in (A). A temporary
adaptor, which looks like the adaptor shown in
(B), may be used to connect this plug to a twopole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adaptor should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. This
adaptor is not applicable in Canada. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the
adaptor, must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Operating Controls
Start/Stop Switch
Referring to Figure 6: The Start/Stop Switch is
located to the left of the motor on the side of
the mortiser. To turn the mortiser on press the
green START (A) button. To stop the mortiser,
push the red STOP (B) button.

Adjustments
90 Chisel to Worktable Calibration
Referring to Figure 7:
Place a square (E) so it rests against the
worktable (B) and chisel (A). If the chisel to
table angle is 90, no calibration is necessary.
If calibration is required:
1. Loosen the bolt (C) that allows the tilting
base to pivot.
The tilting base is heavy. If
raised, take extra precaution not to let it
drop on hands or fingers. Injury can result.
2. Adjust the adjustment screws (F) until the
chisel to table angle is 90. Calibration is
then complete.
3. Retighten the bolt (C).
Upon completion, make sure that the pointer
points to 0. Calibrate if necessary.

the machine, disconnect it from the
electrical supply by pulling out the plug or
switching off the main switch! Failure to
comply may cause serious injury.
General
A coat of paste wax applied to the table and
column will help to keep the surfaces clean.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
The Mortiser requires only minor maintenance,
such as cleaning and lubrication and routine
adjustment and sharpening of the chisel and
bit.
