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. Seek assistance before beginning assembly.
2.Seek assistance and lift the mortising machine to the workbench. Lift the mor- tising machine from its base, only. Slide it over the pencil layout. Recheck for proper working clearance and adjust as needed.
The mortising machine may be secured with 5⁄16" lag bolts or through bolts with washers and nuts (not supplied).
3.Use the mounting holes in the base as drill guides and drill holes. See Figure 10. Drill a 1⁄4" hole for 5⁄16" lag bolts. For through bolts drill a 5⁄16" hole.
4.Secure the base with the bolts.
