CHISEL MORTISER SAFETY

!
You can be seriously injured or killed by getting clothing, jewellery, or long hair entangled with the chisel. Your fingers can be severely cut or amputated by the chisel. You can be blinded or hurt by flying wood chips, broken cutting tools, workpieces, or adjustment tools that can be thrown from the spinning chuck with great force. To reduce your risk of serious injury when operating this machine, completely heed and understand the following:

handling, especially when installing or removing. Do not wear gloves while machine is operating. They may become entangled in the chisel.
USING CORRECT MATERIALS
Mortising materials such as metals, plastics, and glass can result in serious personal injury and machine damage. Do not use machine for anything except mortising in wood. Do not attempt to mortise material that does not have a flat surface unless a suitable support is used.

HAND PROTECTION
Do not place your hands under or near chisel while spindle is in motion. Chisels are sharp and may become hot during operation! Allow chisels to cool before handling. Always use caution when

CHISEL COMPATIBILITY
Mortising chisels can fly out of chuck at operator if not properly secured, causing serious personal injury. Ensure mortising chisel is installed a minimum of 1/2″ into chuck.

MAINTENANCE

J. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The Mortiser requires only minor maintenance, such as cleaning and lubrication and routine adjustment and sharpening of the chisel and bit. Dust the machine down after each use and, as necessary, use light applications of oil or grease to lubricate linkages, moving parts, etc. If you ever observe any of the below, shut down the machine immediately and fix the problem before continuing operations:
· Loose mounting bolts · Worn or damaged wires · Any other unsafe condition

performance. Blunt edges will give inaccurate

1. Sharpen the chisel with a mortise chisel cutter with the correct size pilot. (Pilot size will differ depending on the size of your chisel). Two or three turns of the cutter in a carpenter’s brace chuck should be enough to sharpen the chisel. Fig. K1.
2. Sharpen the bit by using a small, smooth file, following the original shape of the bit. File the inside edge of the spur, the sides of the brad point, and the cuttingedge inwards toward the flute of the bit. Do not file the outside edge of the spur as this will affect the diameter of the bit. Fig. K2
