Then pivot wing parallel to saw table to insert remaining two screws.) The cabinet saw should be placed in an area with a sturdy level floor, good ventilation and sufficient lighting.
1. Shift extension wing so it is slightly above saw table surface. 2. Begin by tightening the three screws (17mm wrench) under the extension wing that secure it to saw table. Tighten these just enough to hold wing in place but loose enough to change wing height by tapping on it. For instructions on mounting the accessory wood extension table, consult Accu-Fence manual, document no. M-2195075Z. Lay straight edge (Figure 6) across saw table and extension wing, extending it out past edge of wing as shown.
Figure 9 NOTE: If while lowering blade, the points on the anti-kickback pawls tend to catch in the seam between table and table insert, slightly raise that area of table insert above main table surface. Figure 11 (blade not provided) 7.12 Installing and removing blade 7.13 Riving knife A blade is not provided with the PM1000. Refer to Figure 12. To install riving knife: Use care when working with or around sharp saw blades to prevent injury. Refer to Figures 10 and 11. 1.
6. Riving knife must be parallel to saw blade. See section 9.6 for inspection and adjustments. 8.0 Electrical connections The PM1000 table saw is rated at 115/230V power, and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The table saw comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 13. NOTE: A low-profile riving knife is also provided, for making non-through cuts on the table saw. 7.14 Anti-kickback pawls Refer to Figure 12. 1.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts: 8.3 Overload reset button If saw becomes overloaded and the motor shuts off, open motor cover and push reset button (B, Figure 14) to restart. If overloading happens frequently, consult the Troubleshooting section in this manual. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure 13.
Do not rely that no light means no power to the machine. Always check for power first. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. To start saw, pull red button. Push it back in to stop saw. The switch has a safety key (Figure 15). Slide key out and store in a safe place, to prevent unauthorized starting of saw. Reinstall key to operate saw. Figure 16 9.4 Miter gauge Refer to Figures 17 and 18. 9.4.1 Setting miter angle The precision miter gauge has a rack and pinion adjustment for setting the angle.
9.4.3 Extension plate screws (4mm hex key) to eliminate any play between bar and miter slot. The extension plate (D, Figure 17) can be adjusted by sliding to the right or left or removed entirely. 9.5 Blade tilt stop adjustment To adjust, loosen two lock handles (E), slide the extension plate and retighten lock handles. Make sure end of extension plate is not in blade path. The stops for 90°, 45° blade tilt, and elevation settings have all been factory set, and should require no immediate adjustment.
Figure 23 Figure 21 The saw blade and riving knife must be in line. If adjustment is needed: 9.5.2 Tilt stop 45° Repeat steps 1 through 4 above for 45° setting, as shown in Figure 22. Loosen nut (B1) with 11mm wrench, and turn set screw (B2) with a hex key the needed amount. Retighten nut (B1). 3. Pull quick-release lever (A, Figure 24) and remove riving knife, making note as to which direction riving knife needs to be moved to align it with saw blade. 4.
9.6.2 Blade proximity alignment 4. The gap between saw blade and riving knife must be between 3 and 8mm (Figure 26). Raise miter gauge slightly out of its slot to serve as a shoulder. Using a sliding square (B) against the side of the bar, slide the scale over until it touches the tip of the blade, and lock scale in position. Figure 26 If adjustment is needed, note whether the blade to knife gap needs to be increased or decreased. Then adjust as follows: Figure 27 Refer to Figure 25. 1.
3. Listed below are conditions which can cause kickbacks: Press down on motor while retightening screw (C). If belt shows signs of wear, fraying, cracks, etc. it should be replaced, as follows. 9.8.2 Belt replacement Refer to Figure 29. 1. Lower trunnion completely. 2. Loosen screw (C) with 17mm wrench. 3. Slightly loosen nut adjustable) wrench. 4. Pivot motor upward to release tension on belt. 5. Replace belt. 6. Push down on motor and tighten screw (C) to tension new belt.
is properly aligned. When wood is cut along the grain, the kerf tends to close and bind on the blade and kickbacks can occur. accidents. Never use a cracked saw blade. The use of a sharp, well maintained, and correct cutting tool for the operation will help avoid injuries. Support the work properly and hold it firmly against gauge or fence. Use a push stick or push block when ripping short, narrow (6" width or less), or thin work.
use the same side of the board against the fence for both cuts. Figure 33 Figure 35 10.4 Crosscutting Crosscutting is where the workpiece is fed cross grain into the saw blade using the miter gauge to support and position the workpiece (Figure 36). Figure 34 When ripping long boards, use a support at front of table (C, Figure 34), such as a roller stand, and a support or "tailman" at the rear (D). Never use the rip fence beyond the point where the carriage is flush with the end of the rails.
Length stops should not be used on the free end of the workpiece in the cutoff area. Never use a zero-clearance insert with saw blade in tilted position. Do not crosscut workpieces shorter than 6". Before starting a cut, be sure the miter gauge is securely clamped at the desired angle. Hold the workpiece firmly against the table and back against the miter gauge. Always use the saw guard and riving knife and make sure the riving knife is properly aligned.
Figure 41 The process of cutting 1/8" to 13/16" grooves in workpieces is accomplished by the use of a stacked dado blade set or an adjustable type blade mounted on the saw arbor. By using various combinations of stacked dado blades, or properly setting the dial on an adjustable blade, an accurate width dado can be made. This is very useful for shelving, making joints, tenoning, etc.
Push stick and push block The use of a push block or push stick provides an added level of safety for the operator. A push stick is included with your table saw, but you may wish to make others personalized for different cutting procedures. The templates in Figures 44 and 45 offer construction details.
Periodic: 12.0 Maintenance Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. 12.1 Cleaning • Keep the inside of the cabinet and trunnion area clean. • Check for excessive play in the tilting and raising mechanism and in the saw arbor and adjust as required. • Check for belt tension and wear. Adjust or replace belt as required. Note: The following maintenance schedule assumes the saw is being used every day. 12.
