1010.11 Adjusting chisel parallel toworkpieceThe chisel can be adjusted parallel to workpiece byloosening screw (A, Figure 10-7) and rotatingchisel until back surface of chisel is flat againstworkpiece. Tighten screw to hold chisel in place.Figure 10-711.0 Operation1. Set depth stop to required depth of cut (seesect. 10.5).2. Place workpiece on table and against fence.3. Adjust fence until workpiece is in correctposition.4. Clamp workpiece or set hold down to desiredheight (sect. 10.4).Before turning on themachine, verify that chuck key is not in thechuck.5. Turn on machine and feed chisel and bitsteadily into workpiece by pulling downoperating handle.6. After the first cut, move workpiece along foreach successive cut. The direction ofmovement must allow chips to clear freely.Move workpiece so that chisel slot is releasingchips into the already-cut part of the workpiece(Figure 11-1).Do not have chisel slotagainst the blind end of the mortise, as thechips will not be able to clear the chisel.This can cause overheating and possiblebreakage of chisel or bit.7. When cutting deep mortises, make the cut inseveral stages of approximately 1" each, toallow chips to clear. To prevent breakout at theback of the workpiece when cutting throughmortises, use a piece of scrap material underthe workpiece as support.Figure 11-112.0 StorageIf the mortiser will be stored for an extendedperiod, use the depth stop to help secure head inposition; this will relieve stress upon the hydrauliccylinder.13.0 Optional accessoriesPremium Mortise Bit and Chisel Sets:Stock no.
