-16- G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser
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.
Test Run
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.
