Powermatic 60C, 60HH Electrical Connections, Installing Fence Handwheel, Storing the Push Blocks

Installing Fence Handwheel

Refer to Figure 12.

Install the handwheel (H) onto the shaft, and tighten the set screw with a 3mm hex wrench.

Knife Gauge Assembly (model 60C only)

Refer to Figure 13.

The knife gauge assembly consists of a bar, two end pieces and two e-clips. Slide the end pieces onto the ends of the bar as shown, and use a pliers to push the e-clips into the grooves on the bar.

Storing the Push Blocks

The two provided push blocks have a magnetic base – you can attach them to the jointer stand or any metallic surface, to keep them within easy reach.

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

The Jointer is equipped with either a single phase, 230 volt motor; or a three phase, 230/460 volt motor.

The single phase unit is factory wired for 230 volts. The jointer has a ground plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 14. Or, you may “hard-wire” the jointer directly to a service panel. It is recommended that the single phase jointer be connected to a dedicated, minimum 20 amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.

The three phase motor is pre-wired for 230 volt. It may be re-connected for 460 volts by changing the connections as illustrated in the diagram in the starter box (see “Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt”). “Hard-wire” the machine directly to a control panel, and make sure a disconnect is available for the operator.

It is recommended that the three phase jointer, when operated at 230 volts, be connected to a dedicated, minimum 20 amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. When operated at 460 volts, connect the jointer to a dedicated, minimum 15 amp circuit with 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.
