6.0 Set-up and assembly
(Powermatic saw)
The following instructions are for installing the
Accu-Fence and Rail System on a Powermatic
Model PM2000B or PM3000B table saw. The rails
should bolt up to the Powermatic saw without any
drilling.
For mounting to a non-Powermatic saw, see sect.
7.0.
6.1 Tools required for assembly
Open-end wrenches, 10mm,13mm
Hex wrenches, 5mm, 6mm
Phillips screwdriver
Adjustable square
Straight edge
Rubber mallet (or hammer with block of wood)
Note: A ratchet wrench with sockets will speed
assembly time. Additional tools may be needed for
adjustments.
6.2 Installing front rail
1.
Identify the front rail, which is 3" x 3" with
notches on one side.
2.
Align holes on notched side of front rail to
holes in front edge of table saw top, as shown
in Figure 6-1. The notches should fall below
the miter slots.
Note: The rail's second hole from the left
should line up with the first hole in table top as
shown. The saw's extension wings are not pre-
drilled at the factory, so use of the first hole on
the rail is optional. Also, rails are designed to
be shifted to the right to accommodate
attachments, such as a sliding table (not
included).
3.
Lightly secure front rail to saw table with four
M8x40 flat head screws with washers and hex
nuts (Figure 6-2). Finger-tighten only.
The front rail must be parallel to table top in order
for the Accu-Fence system to function properly.
1.
Place an adjustable square on table as shown
in Figure 6-3.
2.
Check height of front rail at several locations
along table. The measurements should be the
same along the length of rail. (Generally, this
dimension will range from 2-3/4" to 2-7/8".
3.
When front rail is correctly positioned, tighten
all mounting screws securely with 5mm hex
wrench and 13mm
6.3 Installing back rail
1.
Locate the back rail which is 2" x 2" with holes
running along one side only. The back rail
should be installed parallel to table top.
2.
Align holes in back rail to holes in table top, as
shown in Figure 6-4.
Note: The rail's second hole from the right
should line up with the first hole in the table top
as shown. The saw's extension wings are not
pre-drilled at the factory, so use of the first
hole on the rail is optional.
