G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser -5-
Clean up
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.
Site Considerations
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.
