The column and other unpainted parts of the Model G3183 are coated with a waxy oil that pro- tects them from corrosion during shipment. Remove the protective coating with mineral spir- its and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine- based solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.

WARNING!

Follow the safety rules listed below when working with solvents:

1.Read and follow all directions and warnings on the solvent label.

2.Work only in a well ventilated area.

3.Do not work near any type of open flame (e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so on).

4.DO NOT smoke while working with flamma- ble material.

5.Paper towels from the cleaning process are extremely combustible. Dispose of waste towels so they do not create a fire hazard.

1.Mounting: We recommend mounting your Hollow Chisel Mortiser to a bench. This will prevent the machine from tipping over and to allow for maximum leverage when mortising.

2.Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a loca- tion for your Hollow Chisel Mortiser.

3.Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre- vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amper- age requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
