Sorry no one has answered you yet. I could be wrong because it's been quite a while since I asked that question but I think it uses a Venturi style vacuum system similar to the Holdfast vacuum system. It requires only a small compressor. They were running that system off of a pancake compressor at one of the shows I attended.
Have you contacted Powermatic customer service? The operating manual refers to 90psi for operation.
Thanks for your help, and a success.
