MM-B375P
Operating a power tool can be dangerous if
safety and common sense are ignored. The
operator must be familiar with the operation of
this machine. Read this manual to understand this
machine. DO NOT OPERATE this machine IF YOU
DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND the limitations of
this tool. DO NOT MODIFY this machine in any way.
BEFORE USING
THIS MACHINE
!
To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool,
read and follow all of the Safety and Operating
Instructions before operating the machine.
!
1. SOME DUST CREATED BY USING
POWER TOOLS CONTAINS CHEMICALS
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
2. READ this entire manual. LEARN how to use
the tool for its intended applications.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied
with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into
a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The third
prong is used to ground the tool and provide
protection against accidental electric shock.
4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING
ENVIRONMENT. Do not use electrical tools in
a damp environment or expose them to rain.
5. DO NOT USE electrical tools in the presence
of FLAMMABLE liquids or gases.
6. ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA CLEAN, well lit,
and organized. Do not work in an environment
with oor surfaces that are slippery from
debris, grease, and wax.
7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. Do
not permit people to be in the immediate
work area, especially when the electrical tool
is operating.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an
operation for which it was not designed. It
will do a safer and higher quality job by only
performing operations for which the tool was
intended.
9. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
or jewellery. These items can get caught in
the machine during operations and pull the
operator into the moving parts. The user
must wear a protective cover on their hair, if
hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any
moving parts.
10. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by
removing switch keys, unplugging tools from
the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.

11. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE
ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE
when making adjustments, changing parts or
performing any maintenance.
12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND
IN WORKING ORDER.
13. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure
that the power switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the power cord to the
electrical receptacle.
14. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from
the immediate area prior to turning “ON”
the machine.
15. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Use of incorrect or improper accessories
could cause serious injury to the operator
and cause damage to the tool. If in doubt,
check the instruction manual that comes with
that particular accessory.
16. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL
UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the
“OFF” position. Do not leave the tool until it
has come to a complete stop.
17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury
could result if the tool tips over, or you
accidentally contact the tool.
18. DO NOT STORE ANYTHING ABOVE OR
NEAR the tool where anyone might try to
stand on the tool to reach it.
19. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. Do not extend
yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant
rubber soled shoes. Keep oor clear of
debris, grease, and wax.
20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always
keep tools clean and in good working order.
Keep all blades and tool bits sharp, dress
grinding wheels and change other abrasive
accessories when worn.
21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR
DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE
TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that
they operate properly, are not damaged, and
perform their intended functions. Check for
alignment, binding or breaking of moving
parts. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be immediately repaired or replaced.
22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED,
OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.
23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to
secure the work piece. This is safer than
attempting to hold the work piece with
your hands.
24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE
DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
GENERAL SAFETY

CARBATEC.COM.AU

MM-B375P
25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO
PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST
OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood
dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos
dust. Direct particles away from face and
body. Always operate tool in well ventilated
area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust extraction system wherever possible.
Exposure to dust may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury,
including silicosis (a serious lung disease),
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing dust, and
avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on
your skin may promote absorption of harmful
material. Always use properly tting AS/NZS
approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure, and wash exposed
areas with soap and water.
SAFETY
26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION. Use of extension cords should
be avoided where possible. When using an
extension cord, be sure to have a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw, and with compatible pin conguration
and connections. NEVER use an extension
cord rated at less than your machine.
Longer run extensions will need heavier
duty extension cords. Only connect your
extension cord or machine to a receptacle
that accepts your plug and never modify your
plug to suit a receptacle.
CHISEL MORTISER SAFETY
You can be seriously injured or killed by getting
clothing, jewellery, or long hair entangled with
the chisel. Your ngers can be severely cut or
amputated by the chisel. You can be blinded
or hurt by ying wood chips, broken cutting
tools, workpieces, or adjustment tools that can
be thrown from the spinning chuck with great
force. To reduce your risk of serious injury when
operating this machine, completely heed and
understand the following:
HAND PROTECTION
Do not place your hands under or near chisel
while spindle is in motion. Chisels are sharp and
may become hot during operation! Allow chisels
to cool before handling. Always use caution when
handling, especially when installing or removing.
Do not wear gloves while machine is operating.
They may become entangled in the chisel.
USING CORRECT MATERIALS
Mortising materials such as metals, plastics,
and glass can result in serious personal injury
and machine damage. Do not use machine
for anything except mortising in wood. Do not
attempt to mortise material that does not have a
at surface unless a suitable support is used.
CHISEL COMPATIBILITY
Mortising chisels can y out of chuck at operator
if not properly secured, causing serious personal
injury. Ensure mortising chisel is installed a
minimum of 1/2” into chuck.

the workpiece
• when performing layout, assembly,
or setting up work on the table
• before removing scrap pieces from
the table
• before cleaning the table or work area and
leaving the machine
CHISEL MORTISER SAFETY
INSPECT CUTTING TOOLS
Inspect chisels and augers for sharpness, chips,
or cracks before each use. Replace dull, chipped,
or cracked cutting tools immediately.
INSPECT MACHINE
Loose chisels and augers can be ejected at
operator, and headstock can fall if not properly
secured, causing serious personal injury. Inspect
machine for smooth head casting movement,
loose augers/chisels, loose nuts/bolts, and lock
levers before connecting machine to power and
operating. Correct any problems before use.
SECURE WORKPIECE TO
TABLE
Never hold workpiece by hand during operation.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop
environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery
with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
