the head is lowered so the chisel rests on the workpiece. The depth stop rod is adjusted using a measuring tape, to the desired depth. Figure 32 shows the chisel being lowered until the chisel is even with a depth line on the workpiece. The fence is adjusted before and after the depth stop is locked.

4.Carefully mark the outline of the mortise on the workpiece. Align the fence and workpiece so the chisel aligns with the mark- ings. See section on Fence Adjustments. A sacrificial board should be used under the workpiece whenever through-holes are pro- duced to minimize tear out and protect the work table.

5.Test the positioning setup with a piece of scrap lumber of the same dimensions as the workpiece. Position the hold down on top of the workpiece and secure with cap screw.

6.Turn the power ON.

7.Lower the head by pulling the hand lever down with your right hand. Be sure not to feed the chisel too fast or too slow. Feeding too fast can cause the drill bit to clog with chips causing the motor to slow down and overheat. Feeding too slow may cause exces- sive heat, ruining the chisel. However, it is normal for some discoloring of the chisel to occur due to heat generated during use.

8.When desired depth is achieved, move the hand lever back to its original position. The workpiece should remain in place as this is done.

9.Check the placement of hole on the test piece and adjust the fence if necessary. Continue with the actual workpiece when the desired accuracy of placement is achieved.

10.When making rectangular mortises, we rec- ommend you follow the sequence of cuts shown in Figure 33. Please note that cuts 5, 6 and 7 will only use a portion of the chisel and so the chisel should be positioned over the center of each space.
