While the main mortising assembly of the Shop Fox W1671 Mortising Machine is assembled at the fac- ® tory, other components require assembly.

Mounting, Cont. 1. Plan the placement of the mortiser. Take measurements of the base and layout a pen- cil drawing for the best location on the work bench. See Figure 9. The Mortiser represents a heavy load that must be lifted from the bottom.
Hand Lever Clutch Position depth stop to touch table and secure with lock knob before Shouldered attaching hand lever. Bolt The head may drop sud- denly causing injury. Attaching the hand lever requires the use of the 4 and 5mm Allen wrenches supplied.
Gas Spring The gas spring can be secured to 3 different locations along the side or back of the left col- umn. Each location offers a different range of motion for the mortising head. In the instruc- tions below, we will cover only the side loca- tion.
Work Table 1. Secure the wooden work table with the 2 head screws provided. See Figure Phillips ® Figure 14. Work table secured with screws. Fence 1. The fence comes with a micro-adjustable stop attached to the fence support rod, which retains a spring.

ADJUSTMENTS Gas Spring Locations The gas spring can be positioned in 1 of 3 loca- tions to allow clearance for different board thicknesses or to mortise a board on edge. To determine which setting to use, look at the chart in Figure 21 and find the board thickness that most closely fits your workpiece.
Gas Spring Placement Swinging the handle out will cause the head casting to fall when the gas spring is removed. The gas spring supports the weight of the head casting and the hand lever regulates its height. However, if the handle is pulled while the gas spring is removed the head will drop suddenly.
Pivot Feature The head and column assembly can be adjusted for mortising off of the base. This will allow the mortising machine to accommodate a larger workpiece than those previously listed. To change the position of the head and column assembly: 1.
5. Place the workpiece against the fence and position the fence so the chisel is near the penciled in marks. Lock the fence. 6. Loosen the setscrew holding the micro adjust- ment block on the fence mounting rod and move the block until the screw fits into the back of the support block.
OPERATIONS Test Run Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine. Always wear safety glass- es when operating this Mortising Machine. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury. Make sure the starting switch is off.
