NOTE:
The slot in the chisel should face to the right or left side
only. The opening will allow chips to escape during
operation.
Push the chisel up as far as possible into the head. Then
lower the chisel 1,5 to 4mm, depending on the type of wood
being worked. Tighten the screw to hold the chisel in place.
Push the bit up through the chisel opening as far as it will
go. Lock the drill bit in place with the chuck key.
Loosen the screw and push the chisel up against the
bushing and tighten the screw. This should provide the
proper distance between the points of the chisel and the bit.
NOTE: The chisel should be adjusted parallel. Use the
workpiece as a gauge (Fig 6).
Fig 6
Close the chuck access doors before starting the machine.
Using bits with shorter shanks:
It will be necessary to attach the spindle extension.
Place a 10mm open spanner on the motor spindle and use
the chuck key to unscrew the chuck.
Attach the spindle extension to the chuck and reinstall.
7.2 180° Head rotation
Remove the three hex socket cap screws at the base and
rotate head and column 180°.
Doing this will enable you to outboard mortise taller items.
7.3 Sharpening chisel and bit:
The chisel and bit should be kept sharp for best
performance.
Sharpen the bit by using a small file, following the original
shape of the bit.
File the inside edge of the spur (A, Fig7), the sides of the
centre point (B) and the cutting edge inwards toward the
flute of the bit (C).
Fig 7
Do not file the outside edges of the spur as this will affect
the diameter of the bit.
Sharpen the chisel on the cutting edge inside only.
8. Maintenance and inspection
General notes:
Maintenance, cleaning and repair work may only be
carried out after the machine is protected against
accidental starting by pulling the mains plug.
The mortise requires only minor maintenance, such as
lubrication, routine adjustments and sharpening of chisel
and bit.
Clean the machine regularly.
Defective safety devices must be replaced immediately.
Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may
only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
9. Trouble shooting
Motor doesn’t start
*No electricity-
check mains and fuse.
*Defective switch, motor or cord-
consult an electrician.
Chisel clogged with chips
*Clearance chisel to bit not enough-
set bit 1,5 to 4mm below chisel.
*chips cannot clear the chisel-
observe chisel slot and working order.
