Safety
Warning:
Before using the mortising accessory, read and understand
these Important safety Instructions:
Danger
Zone--The danger zone during mortising operations extends
3" around the bit and chuck and 5" beneath the bit. When you
perform mortising operations, be certain your hands and fingers
aren't beneath the bit when you advance the quill. Never reach
in toward the bit or beneath it to clear away scraps. Turn
off the machine and let it come to a complete stop first.
- Wear
proper eye and ear protection.
- Never
leave the key in the chuck. Remove the key from the chuck
immediately after securing the bit.
- Never
wear jewelry, gloves, ties, loose clothing or clothing with
long sleeves. Keep long hair tucked under a hat. Jewelry,
gloves, ties, clothing and hair could become entangled in
the bit.
- Position
the worktable at mid-chest whenever possible.
- Use
the rip fence as a backstop and hold the stock firmly against
both the worktable and the fence.
