Powermatic PWBS-14CS Leveling the Extension Table, Installing Rear Rail, Refer to Figures 22

Leveling the Extension Table

NOTE: Before leveling the extension table, the 90-degree stop of the main table should be verified. Read “Adjusting 90° Table Stop” on page 20, then return to this page.

Refer to Figures 22 and 24.

1.Position the main table at 90-degrees and tighten the table locking knobs.

2.Place a straight edge (Figure 24) across both tables, at several points along the tables. If the extension table is not level with the main table, use the level board beneath to achieve this, as follows.

3.With the four M6x25 socket head cap screws (HP2-E, Figure 22) still slightly loose, loosen the hex nuts (HP2-C) and turn any of the four set screws (HP2-D) with a 4mm hex wrench, to raise or lower that part of the extension table.

4.When the extension table is level with the main table, use a 1/2” wrench to tighten the hex nuts (HP2-C)up against the level board, to secure the setting of the set screws.

5.Adjust the gap between the extension table and the main table. This gap can be easily set by using the provided L-spacers(HP2-J)(Figure 24). Place the L-spacers between the tables as shown, and nudge the extension table toward the main table as far as it will go.

6.Snug the socket head cap screws (HP2-E) with a 5mm hex wrench, and remove the L- spacers.

7.Tilt the main table to ensure that it does not rub against the edge of the extension table.

8.Securely tighten the four socket head cap screws (HP2-E), making sure the extension table doesn’t shift during tightening.

Installing Rear Rail

Refer to Figure 25.

1.Disconnect machine from power source.

2.Install rear rail (D) to the main table using two M6x20 hex cap screws (HP4-L), two 1/4" lock washers (HP4-M)and two 1/4" flat washers (HP4-N).Finger tighten only.

3.The rear rail should lie parallel to the table top. Place a combination square on the main table at one end of the rear rail to get a measurement showing table-to-rail distance, as shown. Check the other end of the fence; the measurement should be the same.
