Powermatic PM2000, PM3000, 55, 72A Mounting the Accu-Fence, Setting the Side Plate Height

Mounting the Accu-Fence

1.Screw the lock lever knob into the threaded handle on the Accu-Fence (see Figure 14).

The lock lever has three functional positions.

Referring to Figure 15:

•The upright position permits mounting and removal of fence from the saw.

•The unlock position permits easy fence positioning.

•The lower position locks the fence to the front rail. The cam handle should be

pushed down firmly against the pin. Figure 14

2.Place the Accu-Fenceon the table top and check the height of the side plates from the table top. The Accu-Fencehas been pre-set at the factory for a side plate height of 1/32" from the table top of your saw. If, however, some misalignment has occurred during shipment, you can easily reset your side plates to the correct height as described in the following section.

Setting the Side Plate Height

1.Figure 16 shows a fence where misalignment of the side plates has occurred; the side plates are in contact with the front edge of the table saw top.

2.Turn the Accu-Fenceupside down and with a rubber mallet (or a hammer and block of wood), gently tap the side plates to create a height greater than 1/32" from the table top.

Note: Do not use a steel faced hammer directly on the side plates as this will damage them.

3.Reposition the Accu-Fenceon the table and place the plastic shims (included with the shipping contents) beneath the side plates. With the hammer and wood block, tap the sides down until they contact the shims as shown in Figure 17.

4.Remove the shims. The Accu-Fenceshould now have correctly positioned side plates.
