POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if t h e g r o u n d i n g i n s t r u c t i o n s a r e n o t c o m p l e t e l y understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in

Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OPERATIONS

1.

Keep chisels and bits sharp.

2.

Fig. 28 illustrates a typical mortising operation. Note that the opening (A) in the chisel is to the right. Move your workpiece from left to right for subsequent cuts to allow chips to escape freely.

A

B

3.

Hold the workpiece firmly against the fence. Ensure that the hold-down (B) Fig. 28 is properly adjusted. The rate of penetration of the chisel must be fast enough to prevent burning at the tip of the bit, but not too fast as to stall the

Fig. 28 motor. You may encounter smoke from the bit or the workpiece. The smoke created is a natural operating occurrence, caused by friction and the burning of resins.

Bluing of the chisel after initial use is not indicative of a dull chisel, but rather is a combination of friction and builtup resin on the cutting face of the chisel. A dull chisel can be detected by the amount of excess force required to complete a cut.

4.

When performing a through mortise, place a thin piece of wood between the workpiece and the table to prevent

“chip-out” at the bottom of the mortise.

12

ROTATING COLUMN 180 DEGREES

The column (A) Fig. 29 can be rotated 180 degrees for special cuts off of the table. To rotate the column, remove four screws, two of which are shown at (B), rotate the column (A) 180 degrees, and replace the four screws (B).

The base must be secured to a supporting surface.

USING BITS WITH EXTRA LONG SHANKS

When using bits with extra long shanks, remove the extension (A) Fig. 30. Look on the top of the motor and insert a screwdriver into the slot (B) in the end of the armature shaft. Use a chuck key to unscrew and remove chuck (C) Fig.

30 and extension (A). Remove the extension (A) from the chuck (C) and replace the chuck (C) on the end of the motor shaft. You can also use the chisel spacer. Place the chisel spacer (D) Fig. 32 on the chisel shank (F) and insert the chisel into the chisel holder. Tighten the chisel holder securely.
