Once the assembly is complete and the adjust- ments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The Hollow Chisel Mortiser should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything!
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual inspection, feel free to contact our service depart- ment for help.
1.Place the workpiece on the table and adjust so chisel is aligned correctly for desired mortise cut.
2.Secure the fence so the workpiece is firmly supported.
3.Position the hold down as described earlier, so upward movement of the workpiece is eliminated.
4.Turn power on.
5.Lower the head by pulling the handle bar down with your right hand, while supporting the workpiece with your left hand. NOTE: Be extremely careful to avoid the chisel with your left hand. It is very sharp, and friction will make it hot enough to cause burns to your skin. Figure 17.
