Putting the mortiser unit onto the frame (fig. 30)
- Clean both mounting surfaces (1.2)
- Slide the unit onto the two bolts (3).
- Make sure the table is mounted horizontally before tightening the two bolts (3).
Warning:
- Always make sure both the mortiser chuck and the planer arbor safety guards are in place
before starting work.
- Only use left hand drill bits and, whenever possible, short drills.
- Make sure the drill bit is fastened correctly.
- Make sure the workpiece is firmly secured onto the table with the woodclamp
- An adjustable workpiece support can be fitted onto the mortising table.

Height adjustment (fig.31)
- After locking the height with the locking lever, the height adjustment is made with the
handwheel. One turn of this handwheel equals 4 mm in height.
- The mortiser is equiped with 2 levers who enable the table to move in 2 directions.
- The lever for the depth movement can be removed when machining large pieces. The
workpiece itself is then used as a lever.
The unit has an adjustable depth stop and two length stops to facilitate repitition hole boring.
- In case deep holes have to be drilled, it is recommended to drill in steps (each time 10 mm).
You will obtain far better results than when drilling the full depth in one step.
- When mortising, it is recommended to drill first two holes at the extremities of the mortise;
then drill the necessary holes next to one another at the correct depth and cut away the
remaining material.
