Powermatic PJ882 operating instructions Adjustments, Drive Belt Tension

If you are hard-wiring the Jointer, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the Jointer will be connected, and place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on until wiring is complete.

Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt (Three Phase Only)

Refer to the diagram on page 46 for connecting the motor leads for 460 volt power. If using a plug, it must be a proper UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 460 volt operation. The Jointer must comply with all local and national codes after being wired.

Three-Phase Test Run

On the three-phaseunit, after wiring has been completed, you should check that the wires have been connected properly:

1.Connect machine to power source and press the start button, shown in Figure 10. (See “Operating Controls” on page 24 for further information on the control switch.)

2.The cutterhead should rotate clockwise as viewed from the front of the machine. If the cutterhead rotation is incorrect, press the stop button (Figure 10) and disconnect machine from power.

3.Switch any two of the three wires at "R,S,T".

4.Reconnect machine to power source.

Adjustments

Drive Belt Tension

To check or adjust the drive belt tension:

1.Unscrew the knob (A, Figure 11) and remove the belt guard (B, Figure 11).

2.Remove the rear panel (C, Figure 11) by unscrewing the four flat head screws (D, Figure 11) with a cross-point screwdriver.

3.Proper drive belt tension is achieved when there is a small amount of deflection in the drive belt midway between the pulleys, when using moderate finger pressure (Figure 12).

4.To increase the tension on the drive belt, loosen the lower hex nut (B, Figure 13) with a 17mm wrench, and tighten the top hex nut (A, Figure 13). When finished, tighten lower hex nut (B, Figure 13).

5.Re-install rear panel and belt guard.
