Powermatic 720HD operating instructions Clamp, Stock Stop, Setting Lateral Stops

Lateral (X Axis)

Use the handle (A, Figure 12) to move the head right or left. The lateral stops should be set in accordance with the length of the mortise cut (see “Setting Lateral Stops”).

Up/Down (Z Axis)

Handle B, Figure 12.

Forward/Backward (Y Axis)

Loosen the Y-Axis locking handle (shown in Figure 18) and move the handle (C, Figure 12).

NOTE: When making lateral cuts the Y-Axis locking handle (Figure 18) should be tightened.

Clamp

The clamp (Figure 13) has a quick release feature; push the handle forward to move the jaw against the workpiece, then further tighten the clamp by rotating the handle. The clamp jaw can also be retracted by loosening the handle about a half turn, and then pulling it outward.

The clamp can be swiveled for tapered workpieces. Loosen both screws (one is shown in Figure 13) and swivel the clamp as needed. Re-tighten both screws.

If you do not wish to mar a soft workpiece, you can mount a board to the face of the clamp jaw, using screws (not provided) through the two holes in the jaw.

Stock Stop

The stock stop, shown in Figure 13, is useful for repetitive cuts of the same length, and can be mounted to either end of the fence. Loosen the wing screws to adjust.

Setting Lateral Stops

Loosen the locking handles and slide the lateral stops (Figure 14) to the desired position. Re- tighten the locking handles.
