PREPARATION & ADJUSTMENTS

USING THE OPERATION HANDLE (Fig. 10)

The operation handle controls the movement of the head.

Pull down the handle to lower the head.

For maximum leverage, you can reposition the handle by

pulling the handle outwards (Fig. 10) and repositioning the

handle clutch on the pinion shaft.

ADJUSTING THE FENCE (Fig. 11)

1. Loosen the fence lock handle (Fig. 11 - 1).

NOTE: The handle is spring-loaded, and can be pulled up-

wards to be repositioned.

2. The fence is spring-loaded and may require some force to

move back. Push the fence back and tighten the lock lever. If

a chisel is installed, be careful to not touch it.

3. Thread the micro-adjustment knob (Fig. 11 - 2) all the way

into the small hole of the micro-adjustment plate (Fig. 11 - 3);

this will allow sufficient distance between the plate and the

guide block for adjustments.

4. Slide the micro-adjustment plate onto the fence rod un-

til the tip of the micro-adjustment knob is against the guide

block.

5. Using the included hex wrench, tighten the set screw (Fig.

11 - 4) on the side of the micro-adjustment plate to secure it

to the fence rod.

6. Loosen the fence lock handle and rotate the micro-adjust-

ment knob counterclockwise (as viewed from the rear of the

mortiser) to move the fence forward. The fence should be

right against the back of your workpiece to support it during

operation.
