5.2 Back Rail Installation
Refer to Figure 6:
1.
The back rail is 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" with holes and
slots running along one side only. The height of
the back rail when attached to the saw is not
critical.
2.
Align the holes in the back rail to the holes in the
table top, as shown in Figure 6.
Refer to Figure 7:
3.
Secure the back rail to the holes in the saw table
with two 1/4 x 1-1/2 hex cap screws, four flat
washers, two lock washers, and two hex nuts as
shown in Figure 7. Tighten nuts securely with
10mm wrench.
(On the PM1000 Table Saw, use 1/4 x 3/4
screws at the two center holes, which are
threaded and will not require hex nuts.)
NOTE: If you are installing an optional wood
extension table on your saw, it should be installed
first before mounting the guide tube. This will prevent
having to mount and align the guide tube twice.
If you are not mounting an optional wood extension
table, skip the following section and proceed to
section 5.4, Guide Tube.
5.3 Wood extension table (optional)
The wood extension table is an optional accessory.
The wood extension table (including the optional
router table) sits flush against the saw table and
along the inside of the rails. The Powermatic logo (or
warning label on the router table) should face
outward. The extension table is not bolted to the saw
table, it is bolted only to the rails.
The extension table and saw table must be aligned
properly so the Accu-Fence will slide smoothly from
one to the other.
1.
Mount the two legs to the inside corners of the
extension table (at the end with the Powermatic
name) See Figure 8. Secure with the eight
screws provided with the legs. The foot pads on
the legs can be rotated to adjust for height.
Note: If you are using a mobile base under your
saw, you may need to shift placement of the legs
so they rest properly upon the base shelves.
2.
Place extension table between the rails and up
against the saw table, leaving the extension table
raised just slightly above the saw table.
3.
Clamp the extension table to the front and back
rails as shown in Figure 9. Clamping pressure
should be enough to secure the table yet allow
minor adjustments.
4.
Use a hammer and block of wood (or a rubber
mallet) to tap the extension table up flush against
the cast iron saw table (Figure 9).
