6.3 Unpacking and Cleanup
Model PM3000BT has an
industrial-grade low-friction corrosion-resistant
coating on the table and table extensions.
While the coating is durable, it can be damaged
if metal or other hard and/or sharp objects
strike,
gouge,
or
Significant damage to the coating may affect its
performance. Use care when unpacking and
locating the machine.
1. Use a hoist to lift saw off pallet; or remove
nailed boards holding saw cabinet to pallet and
slide saw off pallet onto floor.
2. The cabinet saw should be placed in an area
with a sturdy level floor, good ventilation and
sufficient lighting. Leave enough space around
the machine for mounting extension tables and
rail assemblies and loading and off-loading
stock and general maintenance work.
3. Exposed metal surfaces, such as table top and
extension wings, have been given a protective
coating at the factory. This should be removed
with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene or a
cleaner-degreaser.
gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose.
Do not use solvents on plastic parts and avoid
using an abrasive pad as it may scratch
surfaces. Note: Model PM3000BT has an
industial-grade
resistant coating on the table top and table
extensions and will not require cleaning.
6.4 Installing Extension Wings
See Figure 6-3.
1. Mating edges of table and wings should be
clean and free of burrs.
2. Attach an extension wing (B) to saw table.
(Extension wings are identical). Use three
screws, lock washers and flat washers (HP-
1/2/3). Lightly snug screws with 17mm wrench
or socket. Do not fully tighten yet.
Assembly Tip: If you are doing this without an
assistant, lift extension wing perpendicular to
table edge. Install center screw and washers,
and make snug. Then pivot wing parallel to
saw table to insert remaining two screws.
3. Repeat for opposite extension wing. Lightly
snug screws. Do not fully tighten yet.
4. The front edge of extension wings must be
flush with front edge of saw table. If needed,
tap front edge of wing with a rubber mallet to
make flush. See Figure 6-4.

6.4.1 Leveling Extension Wings
Level extension wings to saw table using a straight
edge. A metal straight edge is ideal, though a
carefully jointed board may also be used.
Two methods are described below: one using a
rubber mallet, the other using clamps on the table
edges.
Figure 6-3: installing accessories
Figure 6-4: leveling extension wings, method 1
Method 1 (Figure 6-4):
1. Shift extension wing so it is slightly above saw
table surface.
2. Begin by tightening the three screws beneath
extension wing that secure it to saw table.
Tighten these just enough to hold wing in
place but loose enough to change wing height
by tapping on it. (Tap with rubber mallet, or
hammer over a flat block of wood. Never use a
steel-faced hammer directly on the tables.)
3. Lay straight edge across saw table and
extension wing, extending it out past edge of
wing as shown in Figure 6-4.
4. Move straight edge to several places along
wing, as you continue to nudge wing level with
saw table. Also brush your fingertips over the
seam to ensure the transition feels smooth. As
each area of wing becomes flush with table,
tighten screw under that area. Continue until
all three screws are fully tightened. NOTE:
Make sure front edge of wing remains flush
with front edge of saw table.
5. Repeat above steps for opposite extension
wing.
