Powermatic 72A, PM3000, PM2000, 55 operating instructions Side Plate Replacement

5.Measure the distance between the saw blade and the inside of the fence.

6.Adjust the cursor (G, Figure 18) to read the distance just measured and tighten the cursor assembly to the fence.

7.Take a test cut and confirm that the adjustment is correct.

Note: If the cursor does not have enough travel to give the correct measurement, loosen the guide rail and adjust as needed. If you still do not get the correct measurement, loosen the front rail and adjust as needed. If you have to adjust the front rail you will need to go through the front rail assembly instructions again.

This adjustment must be checked whenever a different blade is installed.

Side Plate Replacement

The Accu-Fenceis specially designed to save you many hours of down-time when side plates need to be replaced. In an operation that can last an entire day with other fences, the Accu- Fence side replacement takes only a few minutes.

Here's how it's done:

1.Turn the fence upside down and loosen the five 1/4 lock nuts with a 7/16 wrench through the slots.

Note: A socket wrench can fit into the slot, and will speed the process (Figure 20).

2.Remove the lock nuts.

3.Turn the fence on its side and pull the side plate from the main frame (Figure 21).

4.Replacement side plates come with fasteners already attached. With the fence still on its side, align the new side plate so that the attached bolts line up with the holes on the main frame. See Figure 21. Mount the new side plate to the main frame.

5.Turn the fence on its back and secure the side plate by lightly tightening all nuts.

6.Make any necessary adjustments to the side plate height (see Setting the Side Plate Height on page 9).
