2. Move the feed lever (A) to the horizontal position (Fig. 8). Pull the motor
carriage (B) to the end of the guide rod (C).
3. Place the mortiser against the edge of the 2" x 6" so that the clamps are
firmly seated. The crank (E) will be free to revolve. Tighten the clamp handles
(D) securely to hold the mortiser in position.
4. Move the feed lever (A) to the vertical position to engage the feed
mechanism.
Make sure that the motor switch is in the "OFF" position.
5. Connect the mortiser to the power source.
6. Turn motor switch "ON" and rotate the crank (E) until the collar (F) hits the
feed housing, stopping the depth of cut and completing the mortise.
7. Turn the motor "OFF".
Disconnect tool from power source!
8. Move the feed lever (A) to the
horizontal position.
9. Grasp the motor carriage (B) Fig.
9 with both hands and pull toward
you until the bit is clear. Remove the
mortiser from 2" X 6".
10. Remove all chips from the cut and
test the lock box for fit. If necessary,
readjust the mortiser and make
another trial cut.
NOTE: Be sure the length of the mortise cut has not removed the stock required
for the two screws that retain the lock box to the door.
MORTISING A DOOR
After you make a successful trial cut, mortise the door.
1. Place the door in an upright position
and anchor it securely. If the door is
hung, use wedges under the bottom
of the door to keep it from moving.
2. Place the lock box against the side
of the door at the desired distance
from the floor.
3. Make a mark on the side of the door
at the top of the lock box (Fig. 10).
Transfer this mark to the front edge
of the door.
4. Draw a line 3/8" (9.5 mm) above this
mark across the front edge of the
door. This is required for clearance
for the radius of the cutter.
NOTE: The actual clearance may be determined from the lock box and the trial
cut in the 2" X 6". This clearance may be used in place of 3/8" (9.5 mm).
