Tilt Stop Adjustment; Miter Gauge Adjustment; Belt Tensioning - Powermatic 66 Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

5. The blade must be kept centered with the
slot in the table insert to ensure clearance at
both the 90 degree and 45 degree positions.
After alignment, secure the table to the
cabinet by re-tightening the three mounting
screws (Figure 15).

Tilt Stop Adjustment

Using a combination square, check the 90
degree (0) and 45 degree stops. (Figure 16
shows the 90 degree stop being checked.)
Adjust stop positions if required, using the stop
screws as shown. Check the accuracy of the
pointer at 90 degrees (0) and re-adjust if
required.

Miter Gauge Adjustment

1. Slide the miter gauge into one of the slots
on the table top.
2. The miter gauge
individually adjustable index stops at 90
degrees and 45 degrees right and left. The
index stops can be adjusted by loosening
the hex nuts and turning the three adjusting
screws (A, Figure 17) as needed. After
setting each stop, retighten the hex nut.
3. To operate the miter gauge, loosen lock
handle (B, Figure 17) and move the body of
the miter gauge (C, Figure 17) to the
desired angle. The miter gauge body is set
to stop at 0 degrees and 45 degrees left or
right. To move the miter gauge beyond
these points, the stop rod (D, Figure 17),
must be pulled out.
4. If accurate crosscutting work is to be done
using the miter gauge, check its squareness
to the slot with a square as shown in Figure
17. Re-adjust the stop position as required.

Belt Tensioning

The saw is equipped with a set of two matched
belts. If they should need replacement, replace
the complete set.
To tension the belts:
Loosen the hex screw (A, Figure 18) and nut (B,
Figure 18) on the motor bracket. Pivot the motor
and bracket to the right. Retighten screw (A,
Figure 18) and nut (B, Figure 18).
To remove and replace the belts, loosen the
screw (A, Figure 18) and nut (B, Figure 18) and
rotate the motor and bracket to the left as far as
possible. Remove one belt at a time. After
installing new belts, re-tension as indicated.
