The fence adjustment knob cannot be used

The hold down acts as a clamp, holding the
workpiece to the table surface. The hold down
must be used to keep the workpiece from raising
when the chisel is removed after a cut
.
To use the hold down:
1. Position the chisel over the workpiece and
lock the depth stop rod.

the bottom of the hold down

top of the workpiece—allowing the workpiece
to move horizontally for making multiple mor

tises, then secure the lock lever, as shown in
Figure 25.
When placed in the position shown in

slightly taller than the fence

The hold down may also be placed directly on
the workpiece when making multiple mortis

es. However, each time you cut a mortise you
will have to loosen the lock knob, move the
workpiece, and then secure the hold down.
You can also
flip the hold down to hold thicker
workpieces, as shown in Figure 26.
