Mounting The Saw To The Stand; Assembling The Handwheels And Lock Knobs - Powermatic 64S Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

MOUNTING THE SAW TO THE STAND

Tools required
12mm wrench.
Tip: Remove all the contents from the box except the
saw and one extension wing. Put some soft padding
on the floor beside the box. Fold back the carton flaps
and gently roll the box upside down on to the pad-
ding. Lift the box off, being careful not to let the exten-
sion wing fall.
1. Place the table top upside down with its surface
on a flat floor, and place the stand, with legs upside
down, on top of the cabinet. See Figure 4.
2. Align the holes of the stand with the holes on the
bottom flange of the saw base and tightly secure with
four 5/16-18 x 1 hex head screws, four 5/16 hex nuts,
four 5/16 flat washers and four 5/16 lock washers. The
screw heads should be inside of the saw body as shown
in Figure 4.
3. Carefully set the machine in the upright position.
4. With the saw located at the place of operation,
(with a solid foundation), spread the stand legs to self-
align the machine. (If your going to use an optional
mobile base, place the machine onto the base now).
When all four legs are seated solidly on the floor (or
base), securely tighten all of the nuts and screws in
the stand assembly.
NOTE: If the saw is to be used without the metal
stand provided, care must be taken to provide a hole
in the stand or bench utilized by the operator to facili-
tate the removal of sawdust.
CAUTION: If the saw has any tendency to
!
slide, walk, or tip over during operation,
the stand or bench MUST be secured to the
floor.
ASSEMBLING THE HANDWHEELS
AND LOCK KNOBS
Tools required
flat head screwdriver
14mm wrench
1. Attach the handwheel knob (A) by inserting a
screw (B) through the hollow knob and into the 3/8"
lock nut (C). See Figure 5. Lightly screw the assem-
bly into the handwheel.
2. Tighten the nut (C) to the handwheel just enough
so that there is adequate play in the knob (A) to allow
free rotation.
