Powermatic COS18 User Manual

Re-install clear panel and close blade access
door, fastening it securely. NOTE: A sensor
switch on the door will automatically shut
down the saw if the door is opened while the
blade is moving.

WARNING: Do not reconnect power, air
or electric, without internal clear panel in
place and door securely fastened with
screws.

AIR SUPPLY

The correct air pressure for the COS18 saw is 70
PSI. Attach the hose from your air source to the
machine's air valve as shown in Figure 9.

SQUARING THE FENCE

The best way to square the fence is to make
sample cuts. Using a square, check the end of a
board after it has been chopped. If the cut is not
square, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen one of the bolts on the fence and
lightly tap the fence with a block or mallet.

2. Retighten the bolt, and make another cut.
Repeat as necessary until fence is square.

INSTALLING ROLLER TABLES
(OPTIONAL)

Four-foot and 8-foot roller tables are available as
accessories to your cut-off saw. The roller tables
can be used as infeed or outfeed tables and
mounted to either side of the saw. The terms
"Right Hand" and "Left Hand" Model are
determined by the location of the blade in
reference to the main table. (The cover of this
manual shows a left-hand model.)
