NOTE: Before assembly begins, make sure that
the Mortiser is positioned on a sturdy work sur-
face, and secured down to prevent any tipping.

The Mortiser's head assembly is secured in the
'down' position for transporting, and must be
freed for operation.
1. Loosen the locking hex head Screw (Part #64)
that is located on the left side of the mortising
head, next to the Gas Spring (#57). FIG. 1.
The Mortiser's head assembly should auto-
matically rise once the locking screw is loosened.
Install the Feed Handle (#1) into the Handle
Shaft (#5), and secure it in place with the Locking
Handle Screw (#4). FIG. 2.
The handle's lower end has a milled slot on the

sliding table left or right.
1. Attach the Handle Shaft (#84) onto the Gear
Shaft (#83) which extends out from the front of

shaft. The locating key in the handle shaft must
