Powermatic PF3-JR Adjustments, Extension Cords, Basic Feeder/Stand Movements

Page 12

The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in Figure 7.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine.

Extension Cords

If an extension cord is necessary make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

The chart in Figure 8 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.

Adjustments

Basic Feeder/Stand Movements

To move the vertical column up or down, loosen the lock handle (A, Figure 9) and rotate the handle (B, Figure 9). When adjustment is complete, re-tighten lock handle (A, Figure 9).

To move the horizontal arm forward or back, loosen the lock handle (C, Figure 9) and rotate the handle (D, Figure 9). When adjustment is complete, re-tighten lock handle (C, Figure 9).

The vertical column and horizontal arm have stop screws (E, Figure 9) which prevent them from being moved too far.

To rotate the entire stand assembly, loosen the lock handle (F, Figure 9) and push the assembly into desired position. Tighten lock handle before operating the stock feeder.

To rotate the stock feeder alone, loosen lock handle (G, Figure 9). Tighten lock handle before operating the stock feeder.

Edgewise Stock Feeder Position

The stock feeder can be turned “edgewise” so that the feed is along the side of the workpiece. See Figure 10.

To create this position:

1.Loosen the screw on the arm cone (A, Figure 10) with a 14mm wrench, and slide the Stock Feeder off the horizontal arm.

2.Place the Stock Feeder edgewise with the rollers toward the bottom, as shown in Figure 10.
