Attach the MDF table (F) to the base using two screws.
Attach the work stop (B).
The work stop can be mounted on either end of the table.
Attach the handles to the handwheels (D).
Adjust the depth stop (E) and the table stops (C) according to
the work to be performed.
5.3 Mains connection
Mains connection and any extension cords used must comply
with applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with the information on the
machine licence plate.
The mains connection must have a
10 A surge-proof fuse.
Only use power cords marked H07RN-F
Connections and repairs to the electrical equipment may only
be carried out by qualified electricians.
5.4 Dust collection
Use a suitable dust collection and filtration system to avoid a
high dust concentration in the air.
Dust the machine down after each use and as necessary.
5.5 Starting operation
You can start the machine with the green on button. The red
button on the main switch stops the machine.
6. Machine operation
Set the depth stop rod (A, Fig 2) to the required depth of cut.
Adjust the work stop (B, Fig 1) to suit the workpiece length.
Fig 2
Place the workpiece on the table and clamp the vice (A,
Fig3).
The vice has a quick-release function; one full turn to the left
will disengage the spindle.
Use the left handwheel to move the table forward and
backward to suit the position of the mortise on the workpiece.
Adjust the table stops (B, Fig 3), according to the length of cut
required, then tighten the thumb screws.
Turn on the machine and feed chisel and bit steadily into the
workpiece by pulling down the operating handle.
NOTE:
The rate of feed must be fast enough to prevent burning at
the tip of the drill bit, but not so fast as to cause the machine
to stall. The different rates of feed for different woods must be
learned by experience.
After the first cut, the workpiece is moved. The direction of
movement must allow the chips to clear freely (Fig 4).
When cutting deep mortises, make the cut in several stages
of approx. 25mm each, to allow chips to clear.
To prevent breakout at the back of the workpiece when
cutting through mortises, use a piece of scrap material under
the workpiece as support.
Warning:
Always keep your hands well clear of the rotating bit.
Always close the chuck cover before you start the machine.
