Make a habit of inspecting your Hollow Chisel Mortiser each time you use it. Check for the fol- lowing conditions and repair or replace when nec- essary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

The Model G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser requires a minimum of maintenance. The opera- tor should clear the machine of wood chips after every use and periodically wipe the machine of dust and grime. All of the bearings within the machine are lubricated and sealed at the factory, so lubrication by the operator is unnecessary. A periodic application of light oil on the rack-and- pinion gearing will insure smooth operation between the head and column.
