Powermatic 15S Planer User Manual

Extension Tables
1. Mount a cast iron table to the edge of the
main table with three M8 x 25 hex cap
screws (Figure 9) using a 12mm wrench. Do
not fully tighten yet.
2. The extension table must be leveled with the
main table. Place a straight edge (such as a
jointed board) across the extension table
and the main table.
NOTE: The straight edge should not lie over
the raised table rollers, as this would distort
the leveling process. Either place the
straight edge just short of the table rollers, or
lower the table rollers completely into the
table (see page 11) while mounting the
extension tables.
3. Insert three socket set screws with a 4mm
hex wrench, and screw them in or out as
needed until tables are level.
4. Securely tighten the hex cap screws.
5. Mount the second extension table to the
opposite side of the planer table, using the
same procedure.
Dust Hood
Mount the dust hood to the rear of the head
casting with three M6 x 12 socket head cap
screws with lock washers, and three M5 x 10
hex cap screws with flat washers. See Figure
10.
It is recommended that you use a dust collection
system with this planer. If you are not using a
dust collection system, do not attach the dust
hood to the planer, as the accumulation of dust
inside the hood may create a safety hazard, or
eventually cause jamming of the rollers.
Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. The
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
A power plug is not provided with the 15S or
15HH planers. You may either connect a 230
volt plug or "hard-wire" the machine directly to
your electrical panel provided there is a
disconnect near the machine. Consult electrical
schematic on page 38 for further clarification of
wiring setup.

It is recommended that the 15S or 15HH Planer
be connected to a dedicated, minimum 30 amp
circuit with a 30 amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.
