and installed in the mortiser, prepare your work
piece for cutting of the mortise(s).
1. Mark your mortise size and location on the
surface of your work piece.
2. Set the chisel & bit to the desired mortise
depth - see Depth Stop instructions on page 13.
3. Set the work table and fence location so the
chisels & bit are positioned perfectly to bore the

The chisel and bit should be kept sharp for
best performance. Blunt edges will give inac-

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.
3. To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly

Start the mortiser and feed the chisel into the
work piece. Feed the chisel to a depth of 1/2" then
retract it to allow the chips to clear. Make repeated
small cuts, allowing the chisel to do the work while
clearing the chips. Do not force the cut or the
motor will slow down.
For long mortises, cut one end, then move the
work piece and drill the other end. Finally, bore out
the material between the two holes to complete
the mortise.

problems and ensure the machine is in ready
condition for the next time it is used
WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye
protection to prevent debris from blowing into
eyes.
4. Clean all parts of the mortiser on a regular
basis. Treat the rods and moving parts with a
dry lubricant spray. Do not use ordinary oil which
will collect dust and hamper the operation of the
machine.
5. Keep the machined surfaces free of resin and
rust. Clean them regularly with a non-flammable
solvent, then coat with a light film of dry lubricant
spray, or wax, to enhance passage of work piece
on/over the table(s).
