1. Loosen fence lock knob, and slide fence
forward out of the way.
2. Place chisel you are using for your mortise
against stop #1. Slide stop #2 against chisel
with gentle pressure, as shown in Figure 11.
Note: Some mortise chisels may have an
undercut on the shaft. Position chisel so that
stops are contacting its true width.
3. Tighten stop #2 locking lever firmly. Remove
chisel – you should feel slight but not excessive
resistance, indicating stop #2 has been set
correctly.
If you use the same chisel for future cuts with
this saw and blade combination, stop #2 will
require no further adjustment.
