ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS SAFETY 110V Operation This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur. The Shop Fox® W1671 Mortising Machine can only be operated at 110 volts.
AVOIDING POTENTIAL INJURIES SAFETY Figure 2. Unplug before changing chisels. Figure 3. Always clamp workpiece. Fig. 4. Secure depth stop before removing gas spring. Figure 5. Remove safety key when not in use. Figure 6. Never place hands under chisel. -7- Fig. 6A. Secure depth stop before adjusting quick-set handle above. See Fig. 4.
ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Figure 7. Components laid out for identification. The following is a description of the components shipped with the Shop Fox® W1671 Mortising Machine. It is recommended that all the parts be laid out in a similar fashion to those in Figure 7. This will help in identification before beginning assembly. Should any part be missing, examine the packaging carefully. If any key parts are missing call Woodstock International, Inc.
While the main mortising assembly of the Shop Fox® W1671 Mortising Machine is assembled at the factory, other components require assembly. The following is the recommended sequence best suited for final assembly. TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need the 4, 5 & 6mm Allen® wrenches (supplied), a hand drill, a 1⁄4" or 5⁄16" drill bit and a Phillips® screw driver. Wear safety glasses during the entire assembly process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
Mounting, Cont. 1. Plan the placement of the mortiser. Take measurements of the base and layout a pencil drawing for the best location on the work bench. See Figure 9. ASSEMBLY The Mortiser represents a heavy load that must be lifted from the bottom. Seek assistance before beginning assembly. Figure 9. Layout penciled in. 2. Seek assistance and lift the mortising machine to the workbench. Lift the mortising machine from its base, only. Slide it over the pencil layout.
Hand Lever Hub Clutch Position depth stop to touch table and secure with lock knob before attaching hand lever. The head may drop suddenly causing injury. Spring Shouldered Bolt Figure 11. Assembly break down. 1. Locate the shouldered bolt, clutch and small spring. 2. Insert the spring into the clutch and place the clutch on the hub. 3. Secure the spring and clutch using the shouldered bolt. Insert the bolt and tighten. Refer to Figure 11 for the layout of the parts. 4.
Gas Spring ASSEMBLY The gas spring can be secured to 3 different locations along the side or back of the left column. Each location offers a different range of motion for the mortising head. In the instructions below, we will cover only the side location. Further explanation will follow in the Adjustments section. Position depth stop to touch table and secure with lock knob before indexing the hand lever. The head may drop suddenly, causing injury. Figure 12. Indexing handle by swinging out. 1.
Work Table 1. Secure the wooden work table with the 2 Phillips® head screws provided. See Figure 14. Fence 1. The fence comes with a micro-adjustable stop attached to the fence support rod, which retains a spring. Loosen the setscrew with the 4mm Allen® provided and remove the stop but not the spring. 2. Slide the support rod into the mounting block located between the columns. See Figure 15. Figure 15. Slide fence support through block. 3. Replace the micro-adjustable stop and secure with the setscrew.
Hold Down The hold down acts as a clamp, holding the workpiece to the table surface. This helps to keep the workpiece from raising when extracting the chisel after a cut is made. The hold down must be used. ASSEMBLY 1. Support the head with the hand lever and unlock the depth stop lock knob. Allow depth stop rod to touch the base surface and secure the rod in place. 2. The hold down support rod has a flat portion along its length. Place the completely round portion into the fence.
Installing Chisels Always unplug the mortising machine before changing chisels. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Select the size needed for your project and follow the instructions below. 1. Support the head with the hand lever and unlock the depth stop lock knob. Allow depth stop rod to touch the base surface and secure the rod in place. 2. Remove the hold down bracket from the support rod and move the fence to the back edge of the work table. 4.
ADJUSTMENTS Gas Spring Locations The gas spring can be positioned in 1 of 3 locations to allow clearance for different board thicknesses or to mortise a board on edge. To determine which setting to use, look at the chart in Figure 21 and find the board thickness that most closely fits your workpiece. Note the number that corresponds with that board. This will be the position number shown in Figure 22. Follow the instructions on the following page to place the gas spring in the new location.
Gas Spring Placement Swinging the handle out will cause the head casting to fall when the gas spring is removed. The gas spring supports the weight of the head casting and the hand lever regulates its height. However, if the handle is pulled while the gas spring is removed the head will drop suddenly. Please read the Caution to the left. Upon determining which location the gas spring is to be placed, follow the instructions below. Figure 23. Snapping gas spring into place. 1.
Pivot Feature The head and column assembly can be adjusted for mortising off of the base. This will allow the mortising machine to accommodate a larger workpiece than those previously listed. To change the position of the head and column assembly: 1. Support the head with the hand lever and unlock the depth stop lock knob. Allow the depth stop rod to touch the base surface and secure the rod in place. 2. Loosen the two hex nuts in the pivoting base. Figure 24. Workpiece clamped to edge of table. 3.
5. Place the workpiece against the fence and position the fence so the chisel is near the penciled in marks. Lock the fence. 6. Loosen the setscrew holding the micro adjustment block on the fence mounting rod and move the block until the screw fits into the back of the support block. See Figure 26 on the previous page. 7. Unlock the fence and rotate the micro adjustable knob until the chisel lines up withthe penciled in lines as in Figure 27. Figure 27. Aligning chisel to marked workpiece. Wider Stock 1.
OPERATIONS Test Run Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine. OPERATIONS Always wear safety glasses when operating this Mortising Machine. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury. Make sure the starting switch is off. The paddle is down for off. Make sure all the fasteners and lock handles are tight. Plug in the power cord. Pull the START paddle.
the head is lowered so the chisel rests on the workpiece. The depth stop rod is adjusted using a measuring tape, to the desired depth. Figure 32 shows the chisel being lowered until the chisel is even with a depth line on the workpiece. The fence is adjusted before and after the depth stop is locked. 4. Carefully mark the outline of the mortise on the workpiece. Align the fence and workpiece so the chisel aligns with the markings. See section on Fence Adjustments.
MAINTENANCE General Fence And Chisels The cast iron fence and steel chisels/bits can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like Boeshield® T-9. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™. Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or repairs. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
