Installing Belt Guard and Door

Refer to Figure 9.

Mount the belt guard over the shaft as shown, and install the knob to secure it in place.

Set the lip of the door over the bottom edge of the stand opening. Rotate the door knob to hold the door to the stand.

NOTE: When the jointer is being operated, the two M6 pan head screws (KK) and M6 flat washers (LL) should be installed to fully secure the door. At this moment, however, leave these screws off until the switch has been installed.

Installing Switch Arm

Refer to Figure 10.

1.Align the holes of the switch arm with the holes on the jointer stand, while slipping the electrical cord down through the larger hole in the stand.

2.Secure the switch arm with four 5/16”-18 x 3/4” socket head cap screws (EE), four 5/16” lock washers (GG), and four 5/16” flat washers (FF), using a 6mm hex wrench.

3.Open the stand door, and join the connectors of the switch cord and motor cord, as shown in the detail in Figure 10.

Installing Dust Chute

Refer to Figure 11.

It is strongly recommended that a dust collection system (not provided) be connected to the jointer. It will help keep your shop clean, and reduce the risk of health problems due to wood dust. The dust collector should have sufficient capacity for this size jointer. Visit our website at www.powermatic.com to see a range of available dust collection units.

Place the dust chute over the opening in the jointer stand, and secure with four 1/4”-20 x 1/2” pan head screws (HH) and four 1/4” flat washers (JJ).

Connect a suitable dust collection hose to the dust chute on the jointer and secure it with a hose clamp. NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose.

Both models embody Powermatic's commitment to innovation and performance, catering to the needs of professionals and serious hobbyists alike.

One of the standout features of the Powermatic 60C is its advanced digital readout (DRO) system. This technology provides users with accurate measurements and easy adjustments, ensuring that every cut is made with precision. The system helps eliminate guesswork, allowing woodworkers to focus on their craft without worrying about the accuracy of their settings. The 60C also features a powerful 1.75 HP motor, which is capable of handling even the toughest hardwoods with ease.

On the other hand, the Powermatic 60HH boasts the Helical Cutterhead technology, which offers a significant upgrade over traditional straight knives. The helical design consists of multiple cutting edges that provide a smoother cut and reduce tear-out, resulting in a superior finish. This is especially beneficial when working with figured woods or delicate materials. The 60HH also features a 3 HP motor, providing ample power for demanding applications and ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads.

Both models are equipped with a rigid and robust cast-iron construction, ensuring stability and reducing vibration during operation. This design enhances the durability of the machines and extends their lifespan, making them a worthwhile investment for any serious woodshop.

The jointer beds are precision-ground and provide excellent support for long workpieces, while the fence is easily adjustable and provides accurate guidance for various operations, such as jointing and planing. The intuitive controls make it easy for users to switch between different functions and settings, enhancing workflow efficiency.

In terms of mobility, both the 60C and 60HH come with sturdy, adjustable legs and can be fitted with mobility kits that allow for easy movement around the workshop. This flexibility is a significant advantage for woodworkers who need to optimize their workspace.

In summary, the Powermatic 60C and 60HH represent the pinnacle of jointer and planer technology. With their innovative features, powerful motors, and user-friendly designs, these machines deliver unparalleled performance, making them invaluable assets in any woodworking shop.
