features a pair of spring-loaded balls that prevent vibration, locate the plate in its cavity and
prevent movement during use. The accessory zero-clearance insert has adjusting screws that
allow precise fitting to the cavity.
Power and Control
The PM3000 uses our
strong, long life motors.
Our motors are big
because they are built to
provide years of trouble-
free use.
The POWERMATIC PM3000 is available with a 5HP, 1 phase, 230V
motor (#1720304K) or with a 7.5HP 3 phase, 230/460V motor
(#1720305K, pre-wired 230V). All POWERMATIC motors are high
quality, high output and rated using a continuous duty cycle for the truest
representation of their power – not the “peak” or “maximum developed”
figures some other manufacturers continue to advertise.
The POWERMATIC PM3000 is equipped with an industrial style
magnetic ON/OFF switch. A green pilot light within the start button
indicates that the POWERMATIC PM3000 is connected to electrical
power. Depressing that illuminated button starts the POWERMATIC
PM3000. A large red “quick off” ring surrounds the ON button and
makes shutting the POWERMATIC PM3000 down a matter of pressing
the OFF ring by hand or bumping it with your leg.
To safeguard against accidental startups when you are not around we added
a removable magnetic “Key” that disables the Start/Stop switch when it is
not in place. When you leave the shop you can drop the key in your pocket
or stick it on a handy metal surface in the shop.
This magnetic switch also protects against under and over voltage
conditions. If the electrical power being delivered to the POWERMATIC
PM3000 strays below or above safe levels, the switch automatically shuts
the saw down.
We also built in power outage protection that prevents the POWERMATIC
PM3000 from starting unexpectedly should the electrical power be
interrupted and then come
back on. Once the power goes out, the POWERMATIC PM3000 will not
restart until the OFF ring is depressed and then the ON button pressed to
restart the saw. The safety implications here are obvious – the saw starts when you tell it to, not
whenever the power comes back on.
The magnetic switch
protects the motor from
harmful power
fluctuations. It also
prevents unexpected
startups should the
power go out and then
come back on again.
High-Tech Guard System
Even the blade guard and splitter system has been given extensive engineering attention.
Designed to be totally tool-free, this modular system makes it easy to configure the
POWERMATIC PM3000 blade guard/splitter system for the job at hand.
