Powermatic PJ-882HH operating instructions Grounding Instructions, Dust Collection

The cutterhead guard should now have sufficient spring tension. Test it by swinging the guard away from the fence and then releasing it.

The guard must always have enough spring tension to cover the unused part of the cutterhead during the cutting operation, and to swing back to contact the fence when the workpiece has cleared the area.

If more spring tension on the guard is desired, follow the above procedure with this exception: tighten the set screw without allowing the pin to snap back to the rabbeting ledge. The farther clockwise the pin is situated, the greater will be the spring tension.

Dust Collection

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.

Connect the dust collection hose to the 4” diameter dust port on the jointer (Figure 7) and secure it with a hose clamp.

NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose.

Grounding Instructions

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.

This machine should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to

asystem having an equipment-grounding conductor. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

(hose and clamp not provided)

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

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