Mounting The Blade Guard And Splitter - Powermatic 64S Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

10. Align the pulleys using a straight edge as shown
in Figure 11. NOTE: If a pulley needs to be adjusted
on the shaft, loosen the set screw, slide the pulley
forward or back as needed and re-tighten the set screw.
11. Mount the drive belt to the pulleys by raising the
motor off the support block. With the drive belt mounted,
lower the motor back to rest on the support block.
12. Position the pulley cover seat in line with the
pulleys, but not so it will interfere with belt operation.
13. Adjust the motor all the way back on the slots of
the base, then move it all the way to the right as
shown in Figure 12. This will prevent the motor from
rising above the table when tilted at 45
motor base screws.
14. Remove the pulley cover wing nuts and washers
and install the pulley cover over the bushing and car-
riage bolt as shown in Figure 12. Install the wing nuts
and washers and tighten the pulley cover so that it fits
snugly over the pulley cover seat.
15. Remove the support block. Test for interference
of the belt by turning the components by hand. Adjust
as necessary.

straightedge.
1. Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2. Attach the splitter mounting bracket to the saw
trunnion using a pin, nut and washer as shown in Fig-
ure 13. Insert the pin into the trunnion hole until it is
flush with the other side, then place a wrench on the
flat of the pin to hold it while tightening the nut, coun-
terclockwise. The upper bracket is secured to the lower
bracket with four 5/16-18 x 1 screws, four 5/16 flat
washers and four 5/16-18 hex nuts.
3. Loosen the top screws (Figure 14, Item A) on the
mounting bracket, and the screw (Figure 14, Item C)
on the inside splitter mounting plate. The slotted legs
of the splitter assembly will slide onto the screws.
(You may need to loosen the set screws (Figure 13,
Item B), to slide the bracket to the required position
on the pin.)
TIP: The slotted section of the splitter may be difficult
to position over the screw on the mounting plate (Fig-
ure 14, Item C). Push the splitter guard toward the
back of the saw then down, allowing the slotted sec-
