ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
This equipment must be grounded. 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. Serious
injury may occur.
The Shop Fox® W1671 Mortising Machine can
only be operated at 110 volts. The motor sup-
plied with your new Mortising Machine is rated
at 3⁄4 H.P. and will draw approximately 8 amps.
When choosing an outlet for this machine, con-
sider using one with a 10 amp circuit breaker or
fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by
other machines or tools at the same time will
add to the electrical load being applied by the
Mortising Machine. Add up the load ratings of all
machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds
the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a
different outlet.
Extension Cords
When it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use the following guidelines:
•Use cords rated for Hard Service
•Never exceed a length of 100 feet
•Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger
•Insure cord has a ground wire and pin
•Do not use cords in need of repair
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1.
The electrical cord for the Model W1671 is sup-
plied with a 3 prong plug. If your outlet does not
accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by
a qualified electrician or have an appropriate
adapter installed and grounded properly. An
adapter with a grounding wire does not guaran-
tee the machine will be grounded. The ground
source must be verified.

While the main mortising assembly of the Shop Fox® W1671 Mortising Machine is assembled at the fac-
tory, other components require assembly. The following is the recommended sequence best suited for
final assembly.
TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need the 4, 5 & 6mm Allen® wrenches (supplied), a hand drill, a 1⁄4" or 5⁄16"
drill bit and a Phillips® screw driver.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire assembly
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Do not connect the
machine to power at
this time. The machine
must remain unplugged
throughout the entire
assembly process. Failure
to do this may result in
serious personal injury.
Mounting
The Model W1671 Mortising Machine can be
mounted to any workbench sturdy enough to
support the combined weight of the machine
and workpiece and which allows a comfortable
working height. The bench should be located
where plenty of working clearance exists for
larger workpieces. The mortising machine must
be bolted to the bench, and to help avoid a tip-
ping hazard, should be bolted away from the
front edge. The mortising machine has a pivot-
ing feature which allows the head and column
assembly to pivot around the base. For this rea-
son, the machine should be located near enough
to one end of the bench top to allow mortising
long workpieces. See Figure 8.

Figure 30. Hand poised over stop paddle.
ger is poised over the paddle,
just in
Figure 30,
case there is a problem. The Mortising Machine
should run smoothly, with little or no vibration
or rubbing noises. Normally, there is some noise
generated by the drill bit turning inside the
chisel. If noise is excessive, it is likely the drill
bit needs to be lowered a little inside the chisel.
Any strange or unnatural noises require you to
stop the machine, wait for it to stop moving,
unplug the machine, investigate and correct the
problem before further operation.
DO NOT attempt to
investigate or adjust
the machine while it is
running. Wait until the
machine is turned off,
unplugged and all work-
ing parts have come to a
stop before proceeding!
If the source of an unusual noise or vibration is
not readily apparent, please contact our service
department for help at 1-360-734-3482 or by
email at: [email protected].

depth stop rod to touch the base surface
and secure the rod in place.
2. Check the set up of the mortising machine
to ensure head height and range of motion
is sufficient. Also, check fasteners and
locks.
3. Adjust the depth stop rod to correct depth
for producing blind mortises. In Figure 31,

the head is lowered so the chisel rests on the
workpiece. The depth stop rod is adjusted
using a measuring tape, to the desired
depth. Figure 32 shows the chisel being
lowered until the chisel is even with a depth
line on the workpiece. The fence is adjusted
before and after the depth stop is locked.
4. Carefully mark the outline of the mortise
on the workpiece. Align the fence and
workpiece so the chisel aligns with the mark-
ings. See section on Fence Adjustments. A
sacrificial board should be used under the
workpiece whenever through-holes are pro-
duced to minimize tear out and protect the
work table.
Figure 32. Use penciled line to gauge depth.
5. Test the positioning setup with a piece of
scrap lumber of the same dimensions as the
workpiece. Position the hold down on top of
the workpiece and secure with cap screw.
Do Not mortise without a hold down.
The chisel will become
hot during operation. Use
gloves or wait until chisel
has cooled before remov-
ing. Serious personal inju-
ry may occur.
6. Turn the power ON.
7. Lower the head by pulling the hand lever
down with your right hand. Be sure not to
feed the chisel too fast or too slow. Feeding
too fast can cause the drill bit to clog with
chips causing the motor to slow down and
overheat. Feeding too slow may cause exces-
sive heat, ruining the chisel. However, it is
normal for some discoloring of the chisel to
occur due to heat generated during use.

8. When desired depth is achieved, move the
hand lever back to its original position. The
workpiece should remain in place as this is
done.
9. Check the placement of hole on the test piece
and adjust the fence if necessary. Continue
with the actual workpiece when the desired
accuracy of placement is achieved.
Figure 33. Sequence of cuts.
10. When making rectangular mortises, we rec-
ommend you follow the sequence of cuts
shown in Figure 33. Please note that cuts 5,
6 and 7 will only use a portion of the chisel
and so the chisel should be positioned over
the center of each space.

MAINTENANCE
General
Fence And Chisels
The cast iron fence and steel chisels/bits can be
kept rust-free with regular applications of prod-
ucts like Boeshield® T-9. For long term storage
you may want to consider products like Kleen
Bore's Rust Guardit™.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance or
repairs. Failure to do this
may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
W1671 Mortising Machine will ensure its opti-
mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting
the machine each time you use it. Check for the
following conditions and repair or replace when
necessary.
For other items on this machine, such as the
gear, base and columns, an occasional applica-
tion of light machine oil is all that is necessary.
Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust and
wood chips.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication.
Too much lubrication will attract dirt and saw-
dust. Various parts of your machine could lose
their freedom of movement as a result.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Lubricating Drill Bits
The drill bits for mortising chisels operate under
extreme conditions. A small amount of bees
wax applied to the drill bit can aid in reducing
heat and expelling chips. It is important that a
small amount is used and none is applied to the
chisel. Bees wax coming into contact with the
finished surfaces will impede adhesion of glues
and finishes.
