Unpacking  
Piece Inventory  
After all the parts have been removed from the  
carton, you should have:  
• Mortising Machine  
The Model G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser is  
shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully  
packed carton. If you discover the machine is  
damaged after you’ve signed for delivery, please  
call Customer Service immediately for advice.  
• Hydraulic Cylinder  
• Handle Bar  
58'' Chisel Bushing  
34'' Chisel Bushing  
Save the containers and all packing materials for  
possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.  
Otherwise filing a freight claim can be difficult.  
• Chuck Key  
• Spindle Extension  
• Wood Table  
• Hold Down  
• Fence  
Caution: The Model G3183 is a heavy machine,  
45 lbs. shipping weight. DO NOT over-exert your-  
self while unpacking or moving your machine –  
get assistance. In the event that your Hollow  
Chisel Mortiser must be moved up or down a  
flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable  
of supporting the combined weight of people and  
the machine.  
• 4 & 5mm Allen Wrenches  
• Flat Head Screw M6-1.0x20mm(2)  
In the event that any non-proprietary parts are  
missing (e.g. a nut or a washer...), we would be  
glad to replace them, or, for the sake of expedi-  
ency, replacements can be obtained at your local  
hardware store.  
When you are completely satisfied with the con-  
dition of your shipment, you should inventory its  
parts.

Clean up  
Site Considerations  
The column and other unpainted parts of the  
Model G3183 are coated with a waxy oil that pro-  
tects them from corrosion during shipment.  
Remove the protective coating with mineral spir-  
its and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other  
petroleum based solvents because of their  
extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-  
based solvents – if you happen to splash some  
onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.  
1. Mounting: We recommend mounting your  
Hollow Chisel Mortiser to a bench. This will  
prevent the machine from tipping over and to  
allow for maximum leverage when mortising.  
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and  
anticipated needs, size of material to be  
processed through each machine, and  
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or  
other machinery when establishing a loca-  
tion for your Hollow Chisel Mortiser.  
WARNING!  
Follow the safety rules listed below when  
working with solvents:  
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be  
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-  
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be  
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-  
age requirements. Outlets should be located  
near each machine so power or extension  
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe  
local electrical codes for proper installation  
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.  
1. Read and follow all directions and warnings  
on the solvent label.  
2. Work only in a well ventilated area.  
3. Do not work near any type of open flame  
(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so  
on).  
4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-  
ble material.  
5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are  
extremely combustible. Dispose of waste  
towels so they do not create a fire hazard.

Circuit Requirements  
Tools Required  
The motor supplied with the Model G3183 is a  
110V single-voltage motor, prewired for 110V.  
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate-  
ly 6 amps @ 110V. We recommend using a 15  
amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse  
for 110V operation. This should be satisfactory  
for normal use, while preventing motor damage  
from high heat caused by overload. If frequent  
circuit failures occur when using the Hollow  
Chisel Mortiser, contact our service department  
or your local electrical contractor. The Hollow  
Chisel Mortiser cannot be wired for 220V opera-  
tion.  
The Model G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser has  
been largely pre-assembled at the factory.  
However, some components must be assembled  
or installed after delivery. We have organized the  
assembly process into steps. Please follow along  
in the order in which we have presented them  
here. We also recommend that you spend some  
time with the diagrams and parts lists to become  
familiar with all the parts before you begin.  
Tools Required: Common hand tools are all that  
are necessary to assemble this machine.  
Specifically, you will need a screwdriver, 4mm  
and 5mm hex wrenches (provided) and a Phillips  
screwdriver.  
This equipment must be grounded. Please  
ensure that the Hollow Chisel Mortiser is continu-  
ously grounded from the motor to the machine  
frame and then to a known ground. 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.  
Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must  
be rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.  
Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to  
50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also  
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair  
or replace extension cords if they become dam-  
aged.  
CAUTION: Be sure that your particular electrical  
configuration complies with local and state codes.  
The best way to ensure compliance is to check  
with your local municipality or licensed electri-  
cian.

bit extends between 16'' and 16'' below the  
tip of the chisel edge. Once you have prop-  
erly aligned the bit and chisel, tighten the  
chuck with the chuck key provided in the  
package.  
Figure 8.  
4. Insert the bit into the chisel, then insert both  
through the bottom of the bushing. Loosen  
the brass screw, if necessary, to allow the  
chisel and bit to pass by. Push the chisel as  
far as it will go into the head assembly.  
Tighten the brass screw to hold the chisel in  
position. Figure 9.  
NOTE: If the bit extends beyond the maximum  
316'' below the chisel, even when fully engaged in  
the chuck, it will be necessary to shorten the  
shank of the bit to achieve proper clearance.

Chuck Extender  
The use of the chuck extender is only necessary  
if the chisel is too short to reach the chuck. The  
extender will lower the chuck approximately 1''.  
To install the extender:  
1. Remove the chuck cover on the mortiser’s  
head by loosening the knobs at the front and  
side of the cover plate.  
2. Hold the motor shaft in place with a 10mm  
wrench. Insert a phillips screwdriver into the  
chuck key hole and unscrew the chuck in a  
clockwise direction. Figure 10.

SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS  
Headstock  
Fence  
The handle bar on the Model G3183 Hollow  
Chisel Mortiser raises and lowers the head by  
rack-and-pinion gearing. The handle bar can be  
adjusted for comfort and maximum leverage by  
loosening the nut at the end of the pinion shaft  
just enough for the right and left adjustable gears  
to disengage. Figure 11.  
The fence can be moved forward and backward  
to adjust for each project. To move the fence,  
loosen the lock handle at the side of the column,  
move the fence to the desired position and re-  
tighten the handle. Figure 12.

Hold Down  
Depth Stop  
The hold down is designed to prevent the work-  
piece from lifting when the chisel is retracted. The  
hold down should be adjusted so it just comes in  
contact with the workpiece – allowing it to move  
side-to-side, but not up and down. To adjust the  
hold down, loosen the setscrew at the vertical  
post, move the hold down to the desired height  
and tighten the setscrew. The hold down can be  
flipped upside down to accommodate larger  
stock. Figure 13.  
The depth stop rod allows you to control the  
depth of your mortise cuts by limiting the distance  
the head can be lowered. To set the desired mor-  
tising depth, lower the head until it is a proper dis-  
tance from the table. Loosen the setscrew on the  
left side of the head and drop the depth stop rod  
until it touches the base.Tighten the setscrew.  
Figure 14.  
NOTE: Ensure that the hold down is centered so  
its fingers do not interfere with chisel movement.  
The vertical post is flattened on one side. Position  
the hold down so the setscrew meets the flat sur-  
face.  
Figure 14.  
Figure 13.

Two setscrews mounted just forward of the bolts  
ensure that side-to-side movement is minimal. If  
head displays excess wiggle from side-to-side,  
loosen the locknuts and tighten the setscrews  
until movement is eliminated. Tighten the lock-  
nuts. Figure 16.  
Head Adjustment  
Proper adjustment of the head and column is  
necessary to ensure that mortiser travel is  
smooth and precise. Two bolts located at the  
back of the head control the tightness of the head  
and column. If movement of the head becomes  
sloppy, tighten the bolts until the travel is smooth  
and solid. Should the head movement become  
too difficult, loosen the bolts until movement is  
satisfactory. Figure 15.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS  
Safety Rules  
Before machine inspection, maintenance or  
changing accessories: Turn off switch, unplug  
power cord and wait for all moving parts to  
stop.  
Earlier in this manual we covered general shop  
and machine safety rules. This section will  
address safety rules specific to your mortiser.  
Keep hands away from the chisel and bit  
while this tool is being operated.  
Be sure to observe all electrical requirements  
such as fuse sizing, wire sizing, machine  
grounding and any other electrical considera-  
tion.  
Always have the chisel opening facing away  
from the operator or the fence.  
The bit should reach full speed before begin-  
ning a cut.  
Always wear eye protection while operating  
this mortiser. Also use a respirator to avoid  
breathing dust. All safety equipment must be  
ANSI approved.  
Always feed chisel evenly and smoothly.  
Do not touch the chisel during the mortising  
operation.  
Always be aware of the condition of the wood  
you are mortising. Pay particular attention to  
knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous  
areas.  
Never leave the mortiser running unattended.  
This sums up our review of safety guidelines.  
Remember that every shop has its own specific  
hazards. Be sure, above all else, to use good  
common sense and reasonable caution each  
time you start this Hollow Chisel Mortiser, or any  
woodworking machinery. Proper safety stan-  
dards rarely take any more time or energy when  
followed religiously. Develop a habit of safety.  
Never attempt to operate the mortiser with  
bits or chisels that are dull or damaged. They  
will burn the wood and cause it to bind.  
Maintain the mortiser in proper working condi-  
tion. Perform machine inspections and main-  
tenance services promptly when called for.  
Always put adjustment tools away after use.  
Caution  
Always wear ANSI-approved safety  
glasses or goggles when operating  
equipment. Do not allow visitors into  
your workshop when testing or oper-  
ating equipment.

Test Run  
Mortising  
Once the assembly is complete and the adjust-  
ments are done to your satisfaction, you are  
ready to test the machine.  
1.  
Place the workpiece on the table and adjust  
so chisel is aligned correctly for desired  
mortise cut.  
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.  
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-  
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case  
there’s a problem. The Hollow Chisel Mortiser  
should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or  
rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises  
should be investigated and corrected before  
operating the machine further.  
2.  
3.  
Secure the fence so the workpiece is firmly  
supported.  
Position the hold down as described earlier,  
so upward movement of the workpiece is  
eliminated.  
4.  
5.  
Turn power on.  
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or  
adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until  
the machine is turned off, unplugged and all  
working parts have come to a rest before you do  
anything!  
Lower the head by pulling the handle bar  
down with your right hand, while supporting  
the workpiece with your left hand. NOTE:  
Be extremely careful to avoid the chisel with  
your left hand. It is very sharp, and friction  
will make it hot enough to cause burns to  
your skin. Figure 17.  
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual  
inspection, feel free to contact our service depart-  
ment for help.  
Figure 17.  
-16-

6. The chisel and bit will cause some smoking  
as it contacts the workpiece. This is caused  
by friction heating resins in the wood. This  
does not necessarily mean that the chisel is  
dull. More likely, a dull chisel will cause the  
head to be difficult to lower.  
10. When making rectangular mortises, we rec-  
ommend you follow the sequence of cuts  
shown in Figure 18.  
7. An even pressure on the handle bar will pro-  
vide the best mortising results. The rate of  
penetration should be fast enough to avoid  
burning the tip of the bit, but slow enough to  
avoid stalling the motor.  
1 3 2 5 4 6  
8. Placing a piece of wood between your work-  
piece and the mortiser’s table when through-  
cutting will minimize tear-out.  
9. When mortising thin stock, build up the  
height of the workpiece enough for it to clear  
the fence, so the hold down will function cor-  
rectly.

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE  
General  
Lubrication  
The Model G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser  
requires a minimum of maintenance. The opera-  
tor should clear the machine of wood chips after  
every use and periodically wipe the machine of  
dust and grime. All of the bearings within the  
machine are lubricated and sealed at the factory,  
so lubrication by the operator is unnecessary. A  
periodic application of light oil on the rack-and-  
pinion gearing will insure smooth operation  
between the head and column.  
Make a habit of inspecting your Hollow Chisel  
Mortiser each time you use it. Check for the fol-  
lowing conditions and repair or replace when nec-  
essary.  
1. Loose mounting bolts.  
2. Worn switch.  
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
4. Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.
