There is very little maintenance required on your morticer.
Keep it clean
Make sure the rack and pinion gears do not become clogged with chips/sawdust.
Lightly spray oil on all exposed metal surfaces if the machine is going to stand idle
for any length of time. Keep the chisels and augers sharp.
Once a month
Blow/suck the motor to remove any debris that might have lodged in the fan cover.
Oil the chuck and exercise it over its full range to ensure the oil coats all moving
parts.
There are full ranges of mortice chisels and a useful sharpening set listed in
Section 1 of the Axminster catalogue.
