Warning As with all machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the use of this panel saw. Use the machine with the respect and caution demanded where safety precautions are concerned. When normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator can result. 1. Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation. Know the limitations and hazards associated with this machine. 2.
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. 18.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual: This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or possible machine damage. This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious injury or possibly even death. Introduction This manual is provided by WMH Tool Group covering the safe operation and maintenance procedures for a Powermatic Model HPS67 Horizontal Panel Saw.
Machine Dimensions Figure 1 7
Unpacking Remove crate from around machine and check for shipping damage and ensure all parts are intact. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Read the instruction manual thoroughly for assembly, alignment, maintenance and safety instructions.
Installing Extension Tables 1. Mount the right extension tables to the edge of the cast iron table (Figure 5) with two M8 x 25 cap screws and two M8 flat washers. Do not tighten yet. 2. Level the extension table surface to that of the cast iron table, then firmly tighten screws. 3. Mount the left table extension (Figure 6) with two M8 x 20 cap screws and two M8 flat washers to the cast iron table. Then mount the top of the two braces (Figure 6) to the table with two M6 flat screws, flat washers and nuts.
Installing Guide Bar 1. Mount the scale (Figure 9) to the edge of the cast iron table with three M8 x 30 socket head screws, M8 flat washers, and spacers. 2. Mount the cylindrical steel guide bar to the edge of the cast iron table, using the four M12 hex nuts and flat washers. 3. The outside edge of the bar along its entire length should be approximately 2-1/2" from the table, to allow for smooth movement of the fence.
Installing Miter Fence Mount the miter fence assembly as shown in Figure 13. Tighten the rod (A, Figure 13) with the provided pin into the stationary T-nut. NOTE: Do not move the stationary T-nut; it has been calibrated with the angle scale. Screw the large lock lever (B, Figure 13) down into the other T-nut. Loosen the small lock levers and slide the aluminum fence (C, Figure 13) on to the assembly as shown.
5. Unlock the nut (NOTE: Left hand threads – loosen by turning clockwise). 6. Make sure the set screws in the adaptor are set flush on the blade side. (They should protrude to the rear to engage the arbor for positive drive). See Figure 16. Clean the mating surfaces, install new blade, and tighten arbor nut securely. 7. Remove locking pin (B, Figure 15) and close blade cover. SAFETY TIP: Tape a red rag on the locking pin and drape it over the blade while pin is inserted.
Do not remove the riving knife for saw operations. For slotting or grooving, the riving knife has to be adjusted in such a way that the upper part of the riving knife is never set lower than the highest sawtooth in use. Starting the Machine NOTE: The machine will not start if the blade cover or the rear door is open. When starting in Star-Delta mode, proceed as follows (Figure 19): 1 – Turn Main Switch to position "I". Figure 19 2 – Turn Star-Delta switch into star position "Y".
Adjustments Sliding Table Parallel to Blade The position of the sliding table relative to the machine is factory set, but should be checked periodically as the saw receives use. To ensure a clean cut, the sliding table must be set parallel to the saw blade. If adjustment is ever needed, proceed as follows: 1. The bolts (B, Figure 20) are used to adjust the height of the sliding table. They are preset at the factory. Figure 20 2.
When bevel cutting, make sure the appropriate blade guard has been mounted before operating the saw. Sliding Table Lock When loading panels and when cutting using the rip fence, the sliding table should be locked. To lock the sliding table, pull lever (Figure 24) into one of the slots in the sliding table. Over a long period of time, if many short movements of the sliding table are made (e.g.
4. Record the measurement in the sight glass. 5. Add 2” to this measurement and slide out the extension until the new measurement is read at the end of the fixed fence (Figure 28). NOTE: Be careful to set this correctly, because the scale on the sliding fence reads opposite the scale on the fixed fence. 6. Lock the extension fence to this new measurement by tightening the knob underneath. 7.
Miter Fence The flat T-nut which holds the vertical rod of the clamp is factory set and must remain in its position to make the angle scale correspond. 1. To set the required angle, loosen the rod (A, Figure 32) with the provided pin as shown. Loosen the large lever (B, Figure 32). 2. To slide the fence (C, Figure 32) toward or away from the saw blade, unlock the two smaller levers. 3. Reading the angle is done at the edge of the aluminum bracket.
Loosen the three screws on the scale (Figure 35) and nudge the scale until it matches the cut measurement. Make another cut to confirm the measurement. To avoid the fence contacting the rotating saw blade, the stop ring must be adjusted. Slide the fence to about 10mm from the saw blade. Slide the stop ring across the round guide bar until it comes up against the casting of the fence. Tighten the set screw on the stop ring. Figure 35 Tensioning the Belt To tension the belt on the main motor: 1.
Free Cut (Blade to Sliding Table) forward stroke is the same as the noise relationship back teeth to front teeth on the back stroke (on a scale of 100, 100/30 in each case), the sliding table is running exactly parallel to the blade (zero free cut). The sliding table does not run exactly parallel to the saw blade. It runs away from the back teeth by a fraction of a millimeter. This is called "free cut." To correct the free cut, one end of the sliding table must be moved outward or inward.
Scoring saw correctly aligned for sliding table is out of alignment on rip fence side and viceversa. into the saw blade for half the direction which the back teeth just cut. The width here will correspond to the distance between the front teeth and the fence. Chip out on the bottom as alignment of scoring saw with main blade inconsistent due to movement of workpiece. Between the teeth marks from the back teeth and front teeth there will be a small ridge.
Square Cut Thus, the scorer and the main blade are slightly out of alignment with regard to the tilt axis. 1. Take a panel approximately 40" and cut five times round, always turning the cut edge up against the crosscut fence (counterclockwise with crosscut fence in normal position). The fifth cut cuts the same edge as the first. As the blades are tilted to 45 degrees, this misalignment in the horizontal plane also becomes a misalignment in the vertical plane.
NOTE: All bearings in the machine are selfsealed and require no lubrication. Maintenance Blow sawdust out of the cooling fan and motor. The sliding table should be cleaned once a week, and all sawdust and chips removed. From both sides of the sliding table, blow out the dust which has accumulated between the two sections and on the ball carrier. This can be done more efficiently when the upper part of the sliding table is slid to the rear.
Troubleshooting Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Access door open. Close door completely. No power; possible shortage. Check power source. Star-delta switch in wrong position. Switch must be on “Y” position. Main switch off. Put main switch on “1”. Tilt or raising lock knobs not tight. Tighten knobs. Blade out of balance. Have it balanced or replaced. Worn or damaged belt. Replace belt. Bad motor. Replace motor. Fence misaligned. Reset fence angle. Table not aligned with blade arbor.
Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Reduction of speed during cutting. Belt tension incorrect. Properly tension belt. Motor overload due to incorrect feed rate. Reduce feed rate. Dull blade(s). Resharpen or replace. Power line overloaded. Correct overload condition. Undersize wires in supply system. Increase supply wire size. Low voltage. Request voltage check from power company and correct condition. Bad motor. Replace motor. Motor fails to develop full power.
