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 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 5HP 3-phase table saws
be connected to a dedicated 20 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 cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor. A plug is not provided. A proper 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
replacement of the electric cord or a plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
electrician or service personnel if the 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.

7.2 Extension cords

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
