General Instructions for 230V Machines • Clean machines by wiping with a damp soapy cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaners that may damage plastic parts or painted/coated surfaces. Keep water and solvents away from all electrical components, leads and plugs. • When storing or leaving tools for any length of time, spray bare metal surfaces with a protective spray to minimise surface corrosion.

Installing the Chisel and Bit 1. Select the size of mounting bush to suit the chisel being used and fit into the morticing head. 2. Insert the chisel into the bush and tighten the screw just enough to hold the chisel in place. Rotate the chisel so that the slot in the side of the chisel is positioned either to the left or right, not the front or back; this will allow the chips to escape freely when cutting. 3. Push the chisel fully into the bush and then retract it by about 1.
Operating Instructions 1. Set the depth of the mortice with the lower of the two depth stops (Fig C) on page 8. The upward travel of the head can be limited by adjusting the upper stop; this prevents unnecessary movement of the operating handle when cutting shallow mortices. 2. Place the workpiece on the table and clamp in position with the vice or the hold down clamps.
Maintenance The morticer requires only minor maintenance such as routine cleaning and lubrication. Keep the machine clean and use a light application of thin oil to the moving parts. Chisels and bits should be kept sharp for best performance, a discoloured tip is usually a sign of excessive heat caused by a blunt auger and/or chisel. Bits are best sharpened with a small file and chisels with the special mortice chisel sharpeners available through Axminster Power Tool Centre (03332 406406).
