Magnetic Switch And Safety Key; Adjustments; Tools Required For Adjustments; Fence Alignment - Powermatic PM1000 RU Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Do not rely that no light means
no power to the machine. Always check for
power first. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
Referring to Figure 22:
Start – Press the green start switch.
When power is connected to the machine, the
green light is always on regardless of whether the
saw is running or not.
Stop – Press the red switch to stop.
Reset – In the event that the saw stops without
pressing the stop button, as the result of a tripped
fuse or circuit breaker, etc.:
1. Press red button to reset
2. Press the green button to restart the machine.

8.5 Magnetic switch and safety key

The start/stop switch on the Model 2000 comes
equipped with a magnetic safety key. When in
place on the switch as shown in Figure 22, the
magnetic safety key trips a relay which will allow
the machine to start and stop when the respective
switches are pressed. Being magnetic, the lock can
be removed to make the machine inoperable and
can be hidden for safe storage by attaching it
underneath the rail or another magnetic surface.
When using the saw, place the key on the
switch cover lining up the arrow on the key
with the REMOVE arrow on the cover. Then
rotate the key so the arrow lines up with the
LOCK arrow. This will prevent the safety key
from coming loose from vibration when the
machine is in use.
