This manual has been prepared for the owner and operators of Model BMO
210 Mortiser. Its purpose, aside from proper machine operation, is to pro-
mote safety through the use of accepted correct operating and maintenance
procedures. Completely read the safety and maintenance instructions befo-
re operating or servicing the machine. To obtain maximum life and effici-
ency from your mortiser, and to aid in using the machine safely, read this
manual thoroughly and follow all instructions carefully.
SAFETY RULES
As with all power tools there is a certain amount of hazard involved with
the operation and use of the Mortiser. Use the tool with the respect and cau-
tion demanded where safety precautions are concerned. This will conside-
rably lessen the possibility of personal injury. When normal safety precau-
tions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator
can result.
Know your tool. Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn the tools appli-
cations and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
Keep guards in place and maintained in working order.
Ground all tools. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be
plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to
accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to
a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept
a safe distance from work area.
Make workshop childproof - with padlocks, master switches, or by remo-
ving starter keys.
Don't force tool. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
Use proper tool. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewelry that can get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommen-
ded. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair
Use safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer
than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
Don't overreach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.
Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories.
Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories such as
chisel and bit.
Use recommended accesories. Consult the owner's manual for recommen-
ded accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is in "OFF" position before
plugging in cord.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure 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 dama-
ged should be properly repaired or replaced.
Never leave tool running attended. Turn power off. Don't leave tool until
it comes to a complete stop.
Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
Health hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paint.
- Crystalline silica from bricks and 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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
