GENERAL SAFETY

Operating a power tool can be dangerous if safety and common sense are ignored. The operator must be familiar with the operation of this machine. Read this manual to understand this machine. DO NOT OPERATE this machine IF YOU DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND the limitations of this tool. DO NOT MODIFY this machine in any way.

BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE

WARNING
To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before operating the machine.

  1. SOME DUST CREATED BY USING POWER TOOLS CONTAINS CHEMICALS known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

    • Lead from lead-based paints.
    • Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
    • Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
      Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
  2. READ this entire manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications.

  3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The third prong is used to ground the tool and provide protection against accidental electric shock.

  4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT. Do not use electrical tools in a damp environment or expose them to rain.

  5. DO NOT USE electrical tools in the presence of FLAMMABLE liquids or gases.

  6. ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA CLEAN, well lit, and organized. Do not work in an environment with floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and wax.

  7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. Do not permit people to be in the immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.

  8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for which it was not designed. It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the tool was intended.

  9. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING.
    Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery. These items can get caught in the machine during operations and pull the operator into the moving parts. The user must wear a protective cover on their hair, if hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any moving parts.

  10. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.

  11. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments, changing parts or performing any maintenance.

  12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.

  13. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.

  14. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the immediate area prior to turning “ON” the machine.

  15. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use of incorrect or improper accessories could cause serious injury to the operator and cause damage to the tool. If in doubt, check the instruction manual that comes with that particular accessory.

  16. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

  17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips over, or you accidentally contact the tool.

  18. DO NOT STORE ANYTHING ABOVE OR NEAR the tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.

  19. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. Do not extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.

  20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool bits sharp, dress grinding wheels and change other abrasive accessories when worn.

  21.  EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they operate properly, are not damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.

  22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.

  23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure the work piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the work piece with your hands.

  24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

  25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust extraction system wherever possible. Exposure to dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting AS/NZS approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

  26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. Use of extension cords should be avoided where possible. When using an extension cord, be sure to have a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw, and with compatible pin configuration and connections. NEVER use an extension cord rated at less than your machine. Longer run extensions will need heavier duty extension cords. Only connect your extension cord or machine to a receptacle that accepts your plug and never modify your plug to suit a receptacle.

CHISEL MORTISER SAFETY

You can be seriously injured or killed by getting clothing, jewellery, or long hair entangled with the chisel. Your fingers can be severely cut or amputated by the chisel. You can be blinded or hurt by flying wood chips, broken cutting tools, workpieces, or adjustment tools that can be thrown from the spinning chuck with great force. To reduce your risk of serious injury when operating this machine, completely heed and understand the following:

HAND PROTECTION
Do not place your hands under or near chisel while spindle is in motion. Chisels are sharp and may become hot during operation! Allow chisels to cool before handling. Always use caution when handling, especially when installing or removing. Do not wear gloves while machine is operating. They may become entangled in the chisel.

USING CORRECT MATERIALS
Mortising materials such as metals, plastics, and glass can result in serious personal injury and machine damage. Do not use machine for anything except mortising in wood. Do not attempt to mortise material that does not have a flat surface unless a suitable support is used.

C HISEL COMPATIBILITY
Mortising chisels can fly out of chuck at operator if not properly secured, causing serious personal injury. Ensure mortising chisel is installed a minimum of 1/2” into chuck.

INSPECT CUTTING TOOLS
Inspect chisels and augers for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use. Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools immediately.

INSPECT MACHINE
Loose chisels and augers can be ejected at operator, and headstock can fall if not properly secured, causing serious personal injury. Inspect machine for smooth head casting movement, loose augers/chisels, loose nuts/bolts, and lock levers before connecting machine to power and operating. Correct any problems before use.

SECURE WORKPIECE TO TABLE
Never hold workpiece by hand during operation.

ADJUST DEPTH STOP
Adjust the depth stop to avoid drilling into the table or work bench.

REMOVE CHUCK KEY
Ensure chuck key is removed before starting machine. Do not modify chuck key in any way.

ALWAYS TURN POWER OFF:

  • when the drill bit or chisel is contacting the workpiece
  • when performing layout, assembly, or setting up work on the table
  • before removing scrap pieces from the table
  • before cleaning the table or work area and leaving the machine

WARNING
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 personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

  • This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool may be equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST Be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

  • DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.

  • If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

  • IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

  • CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
    or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

  • Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

  • Power tools and machinery are intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE A that shows a 10 Amp 3-wire electrical plug and corresponding electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor.

  • If this particular tool has been designed and fitted with a two prong electrical plug, ensure it displays the ‘Double Insulated’ logo shown in FIGURE B, before connecting to a 3- wire receptacle.

WARNING
Never modify the standard fitted electrical plugs to fit your receptacle.

OPERATION

I)  CUTTING A MORTISE

  1. Ensure that the power is turned OFF.

  2. The chisel and fence need to be square. Adjust as necessary. Fig. I1

  3. On a test piece, lay out the desired mortise. Fig. I2

  4. Position the test piece so that it is flush with the fence.
    warning
    Keep fingers away from the chisel and auger path during operation.

  5. Clamp test piece firmly. See section D. Fig. I3

  6. The chisel should be aligned with the outline of the mortise. Adjust the table position as necessary. See section E. Fig. I3

  7. Turn the power ON and use the hand lever to feed the mortising chisel into the test piece. Fig. I4

  8. When your desired depth is achieved, move the hand lever back into its highest position out of the way, leaving the test piece in place. Fig. I5

  9. Turn the power OFF.

  10. Check the hole placement in the test piece and if necessary, adjust the table position. Fig. I6

  11. Once you are happy with the accuracy and placement of the mortise, repeat these steps on your real workpiece.

MAINTENANCE

J) MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The Mortiser requires only minor maintenance, such as cleaning and lubrication and routine adjustment and sharpening of the chisel and bit.
Dust the machine down after each use and, as necessary, use light applications of oil or grease to lubricate linkages, moving parts, etc.
If you ever observe any of the below, shut down the machine immediately and fix the problem before continuing operations:

  • Loose mounting bolts
  • Worn or damaged wires
  • Any other unsafe condition

K) SHARPENING CHISEL AND BIT
The chisel and bit should be kept sharp for best performance. Blunt edges will give inaccurate mortises and can lead to overheating and breakage to chisel or bit. If chisel and bit are badly worn and become difficult to sharpen, they should be replaced.

  1. Sharpen the chisel with a mortise chisel cutter with the correct size pilot. (Pilot size will differ depending on the size of your chisel). Two or three turns of the cutter in a carpenter’s brace chuck should be enough to sharpen the chisel. Fig. K1.
  2. Sharpen the bit by using a small, smooth file, following the original shape of the bit. File the inside edge of the spur, the sides of the brad point, and the cutting-edge inwards toward the flute of the bit. Do not file the outside edge of the spur as this will affect the diameter of the bit. Fig. K2
