OPERATION Set the fence to suit the position of the mortise on the workpiece. Make sure the fence and chisel are square to each other (see p13), and tighten in place. Make any fine adjustments to the fence, to move the workpiece in or out, by using the adjuster at the rear of the fence (see p12).
• Do not have the slot against the blind end of the mortise, as the chips will not be able to clear from the chisel. This will cause overheating and possible breakage to the chisel or bit. • When cutting deep mortises, make the cut in several stages of approximately 25mm each, to allow chips to clear.
SHARPENING THE DRILL BIT & CHISEL For best performance the chisel and bit need to be kept sharp. Blunt cutting edges will give untidy and inaccurate mortises, and can cause overheating and breaking of the chisel and bit. Sharpen the bit by using a small smooth file, following the original shape of the bit.
