Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury. 23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the chisel, auger or other moving parts.
This manual is provided by WMH Tool Group covering the safe operation and maintenance procedures for a JET Model JFM-5 Mortiser. This manual contains instructions on installation, safety precautions, general operating procedures, maintenance instructions and parts breakdown. This machine has been designed and constructed to provide years of trouble free operation if used in accordance with instructions set forth in this manual.
Open shipping container and check for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Mortiser is assembled and running properly. Compare the contents of your container with the following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
The mortiser should be placed in a dry area with a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough space around mortiser operations and any adjustments or servicing.
The wing screws (B, Figure 7) will now be used to lock and unlock the table movement. Wood Table Mount the wood table to the mortiser using the two flat head screws (Figure 8). Make sure the countersunk holes in the wood table are facing...
2. Insert bushing into the hole with the bushing’s hole facing the front toward the locking screw (Figure 9). NOTE: The mortiser is shipped with one of the three bushings already installed. To remove it, loosen the locking screw and slide out the bushing.
The chuck key can also be stored on the clips at the rear of the mortiser column (see Figure 7). Grounding Instructions Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This...
150 to 230 volts, inclusive: If the Mortiser is to be re-wired for 230 volt operation, it will use an outlet that looks similar to the one in Figure 14. An appropriate 230 volt grounding plug must be installed on the power cord.
Adjustments Depth Stop 1. Loosen the handle and move the depth stop rod (Figure 16) up and temporarily out of the way. 2. Lower the head until the auger reaches the desired depth in front of the workpiece. See Figure 16. 3.
Operation The mortiser has a magnetic switch which is a valuable safety feature. Should electrical power be cut off while the machine is operating, the magnetic switch will prevent the machine from immediately re-starting when power is restored. To re-start the mortiser you must press the START button.
Wipe down the mortiser after each use and, as necessary, use light applications of oil or grease to lubricate linkages, moving parts, etc. If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
Take a lighter cut. If this does not solve the problem there is probably a loose electrical lead. Verify that mortiser is on a circuit of correct size. If circuit size is correct, there is probably a loose electrical lead.
