Tilt Stop Adjustment; Mitre Gauge Adjustment; Belt Tensioning - Powermatic 66 Instruction Manual & Parts List

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.

MITRE GAUGE ADJUSTMENT

1. Slide the mitre gauge into one of the slots on
the table top.
2. The gauge is equipped with individually adjust-
able index stops at 90 degrees and 45 degrees right
and left. The index stops can be adjusted by tighten-
ing or loosening the three adjusting screws (A) as
shown in Figure 15.
3. To operate the mitre gauge, loosen lock handle
(B) and move the body of the mitre gauge (C) to the
desired angle. The mitre gauge body is set to stop at
0 degrees and 45 degrees left or right. To move the
gauge beyond these points, the stop rod (D), must be
pulled out.
4. If accurate crosscutting work is to be done us-
ing the mitre gauge, check its squareness to the slot
with a machinists square as shown in Figure 15.
Readjust the stop position as required.

BELT TENSIONING

The saw is equipped with a set of two matched belts.
If they should need replacement, replace the com-
plete set. To retension the belts:
Loosen the hex screw (A) and nut (B) on motor bracket
as shown in Figure 16. Pivot the motor and bracket
to the right. Retighten screw (A) and nut (B).
To remove and replace the belts, loosen the screw
(A) and nut (B) and rotate the motor and bracket to
the left as far as possible. Remove one belt at a time.
After installing new belts, retension as indicated.
