Powermatic 511 Saw User Manual

NOTE: If the blade binds in the workpiece, or
the workpiece shifts during the cut, stop the
motor, back the workpiece out of the saw,
reposition workpiece, restart motor, and then
begin the cut again.
Do not place hands, clothing
or body parts under carriage or in cutting path
of blade. Do not look directly down line of cut
as dust and debris are generated during this
operation.
7. As the workpiece passes through the saw,
move to the other side and complete the cut
by pulling the workpiece past the blade.
Support the upper piece to prevent it from
pinching the blade or the kerf protector, or
falling away from the machine.
8. When cut is finished, turn off motor and wait
for blade to come to a complete stop. Remove
workpieces.
9. Rotate turntable back to vertical position and
return it to the top of the guides. Lock the
carriage.
Adjustments
The 511 Panel Saw is preset at the factory, so no
adjustments should be necessary at first.
However, certain alignments should be checked,
and as the saw gets more use adjustments may be
needed.
