NOTE: The screw should not become tight at this point. If it does, loosen it and retry,

making certain that the round hole in the side of the bush is lined up with the screw.

Insert the bit into the chisel, and insert chisel and bit up through the bush.

NOTE: The opening in the side of the chisel should always be to the right or left, never to

the front or rear. The opening allows chips to escape during operation.

Push the chisel up as far as possible into the head, and nip up the screw to temporarily

hold it in this position. You can lower the drill bit gently, and allow it to rest on the base

whilst carrying out this operation.

Push the drill bit up through chisel, and into the opened jaws of the chuck , as far as it will

go, then back off approx. 1/16", and secure the drill bit in this position, by tightening the

jaws using the chuck key provided.

Loosen the chisel securing screw and lower the chisel until it contacts the end of the drill

bit, then raise it 1/16", and secure it in this position by tightening the securing screw,

ensuring the opening on the side of the chisel is on one side, not facing the front.

NOTE: The chisel should be adjusted so that flat portion of the drill bit is at least 1/16"

from the bottom of the chisel. For certain types of wood, it may be necessary to increase

this distance up to a maximum of 3/16". This ensures having proper clearance between

the cutting lips of the bit and the points of the chisel.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:

Before using the Machine, ensure it is bolted

down to a firm and stable workbench to prevent

it from tipping during operation. Two holes are

supplied in the centre of the base for this purpose.

WARNING: Make sure the switch is in

the OFF position and power cable is

unplugged before performing checks,

adjustments, or setup procedures.

The ON-OFF switch is located on the motor and has operating positions clearly marked. Push

switch up to turn tool ON and down to turn it OFF. The switch has a Switch Key that, when

removed, allows the switch to be locked in OFF position. To activate locking feature, push the

switch to OFF and pull Switch Key out of the switch.

RAISING AND LOWERING THE HEAD

A handle is provided to raise and lower the head. This handle may be adjusted for maximum

leverage and comfort during operation. To do this loosen the large hex nut located on the

pinion shaft, just enough to allow interlocking teeth to pass one another. Reposition the handle

to the desired location, and re-tighten the hex nut.

ADJUSTING FENCE

The fence can be moved in or out, by loosening the locking handle on the column, sliding the

fence to the desired position and re-tightening the locking handle.
