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.

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.
