3. Lower pawl assembly onto center notch of
riving knife, with pawls straddling knife. Push
and hold button on pawl block (O

engages in notch.
4. Allow pawls to drop freely to table.

2. Push guard (L) down at an angle, as shown,
until pin engages rear slot in riving knife, and
release button.
3. Push down front of guard until it seats
properly, and is parallel to table top. The

freely to the table.
NOTE: The transparent leaves can be kept in
raised position by swinging them up and forward.
Guard, riving knife, and pawl
assemblies must be securely installed, and
leaves must be in contact with table, before
beginning any through-cutting operation.
The riving knife clamping base is adjusted by the
manufacturer and no further adjustment of blade
guard and riving knife assembly should be
necessary. However, proper alignment is very
important. Before operating table saw, read sect.
8.7, Riving knife alignment, to verify and follow
adjustment procedure if necessary.

6.11 Dust port

Use of a dust collection system (not provided) is
strongly recommended during table saw operation.
It will help keep the shop clean, as well as prevent
potential health issues due to dust inhalation.
Make sure internal hose is pushed into external
dust port (Figure 6-11). Attach hose from your dust
collection system to the 4-inch dust port at base of
saw, and secure with wire hose clamp (not
provided).

7.0 Electrical connections

Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
A power plug is not provided with the PM2000B.
You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed
plug or "hardwire" the machine directly to your
electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near
the machine for the operator. Consult electrical
drawings in sect. 15.0 for further clarification of
wiring setup.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the 3HP 1-phase, and 5HP
3-phase table saws be connected to a dedicated
20 amp circuit with breaker or fuse.
The 5HP 1-phase saw should be connected to a
30 amp circuit with breaker or fuse.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuse, use time
delay fuse marked "D". Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.

7.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric
equipment-grounding conductor. A plug is not
provided. A proper UL/CSA listed plug may be
installed or the machine may be "hard-wired" to a
circuit panel. If hard-wired, make sure a disconnect
is available to the operator.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor.
replacement of the electric cord or a plug is
necessary, do not connect
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check
electrician or service
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Repair or replace damaged
immediately.
