    Make certain the work area is well lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to minimize dust. Powermatic recommends the use of anti-skid floor strips on the floor area where the operator normally stands and that each machine’s work area be marked off. Provide adequate work space around the machine.

Consult the electrical schematics on pages 33-36 for proper wiring of the table saw. ADJUSTMENTS FIGURE 10 BLADE RAISING &...

  • Page 12: Tilt Stop Adjustment

    TILT STOP ADJUSTMENT Using a combination square, check the 90 degree (0) and 45 degree stops as shown in Figure 14. Ad- just stop positions if required, using the stop screws as shown. Check the accuracy of the pointer at 90 degrees (0) and readjust if required.

  • Page 13: Splitter Alignment

    SPLITTER ALIGNMENT One of the most critical adjustments to help avoid kickback is the splitter adjustment. It should be checked and readjusted, if required, after each blade change. Lift the mitre gauge bar slightly out of its slot. Place a combination square against the side of the raised up miter gauge bar and slide the scale against the top of the blade tooth and against the splitter as shown in Figure 17.

  • Page 14: Tilting Mechanism Adjustment

    If the saw arm has been relocated, the table may have to be realigned so as to provide clearance between the saw blade and table insert slot. The splitter will also have to be realigned. NOTE: The saw arm setscrew must be tight to avoid the possibility of movement which could cause the blade to hit the insert.

  • Page 15: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS Familiarize yourself with the location and op- eration of all controls and adjustments and the use of accessories such as the mitre gauge and rip fence. Serious injury can result from kickbacks which occur when a work piece binds on the saw blade or binds between the saw blade and rip fence or other fixed object.

  • Page 16: Rip Sawing

    Dull, badly set, improper, or improperly filed cut- ting tools and cutting tools with gum or resin adher- ing to them can cause accidents. Never use a cracked saw blade. The use of a sharp, well main- tained, and correct cutting tool for the operation will help to avoid injuries.
  • Page 17 NOTE: A caution decal is installed on the guard and splitter assembly warning of the hazard of misalign- ment. The rip fence should be set for the width of the cut by using the scale on the front rail, or by measur- ing the distance between the blade and fence.

  • Page 18: Resawing

    RESAWING Resawing is a ripping operation in which thick boards are cut into thinner ones. Narrow boards up to 3" can be resawed in one pass. Wider boards up to 6" must be resawed in two passes. In resawing wider boards, adjust the blade height so as to overlap the two cuts by 1/2"...

  • Page 19: Bevel & Mitre Operations

    Stop rods can be used in the holes provided in the mitre gauge for repetitive work of equal length. Do not use a stop rod on the free end of a workpiece. It should be used on the side of the mitre gauge op- posite the saw blade.

  • Page 20: Safety Devices

    The guard, splitter, and anti-kickback pawls supplied with the saw should be used for all cutting opera- tions where they can be used. When performing op- erations where the guard can not be used, as in some dadoing operations, alternative safety precautions should be taken.
