Warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with
all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This mortiser is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a mortiser, do not use until proper training
and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this mortiser for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Powermatic
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from
that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this mortiser. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Also use a dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
7. Before operating this mortiser, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past
the elbows. Secure all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
10. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
11. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
12. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.
13. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
14. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately after maintenance is complete.
15. Make sure the mortiser is firmly secured to the stand before use.
16. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
17. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
18. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
19. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
20. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
21. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
22. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the chisel and drill bits
or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
23. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.
24. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
25. Do not use this tool in damp or wet locations.

26. Maintain tools with care. Keep chisel and drill bits sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
27. Make sure the work piece is securely attached or clamped to the table. Do not cut mortises freehand.
28. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do
not use your hands.
29. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
30. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
31. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
