Palmgren Operating Manual & Parts List
SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting
procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool's operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use parts
list provided to order repair parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing blade.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the OFF
position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for which
it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do
not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped or
if blade is unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, application and
specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories (Refer to page 23). Use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply
into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.) Do not
remove jammed or cut off pieces until the saw is turned off,
unplugged and the blade has stopped.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
ASSEMBLY
MOUNT CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figures 17 and 20.
• Remove hex head bolts, lock washers and flat washers (Figure 20,
Ref. Nos. 30, 31, and 32) from column (Figure 17, Ref. No. 1).
• Secure control box (Figure 20, Ref. No. 33) to column using hex
head bolts, lock washers and flat washers.
INSTALL MOTOR ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 17.
• Remove socket head bolt, lock washer and flat washer (Ref. Nos.
45, 34 and 33) from side of motor mount plate (Ref. No. 42).
• Remove hex nut and flat washer (Ref. Nos. 47 and 46) from
support shaft (Ref. No. 50). Remove support shaft from motor
mount bracket (Ref. No. 48).
• Slide support shaft through motor mount bracket and motor tilt
plate. (Ref. No. 44) Secure support shaft with hex nut and flat
washer.
• Slide socket head bolt with lock washer and flat washer through
slot in motor tilt plate (Ref. No. 44) and thread into motor mount
plate. Do not tighten socket head bolt until V-belt is installed and
adjusted.
MOUNT PULLEY COVER
Refer to Figure 17.
• Remove knob (Ref. No. 30) from pulley cover (Ref. No. 31).
• Remove socket head bolts, lock washers and flat washers (Ref.
Nos. 35, 34 and 33) from drive wheel housing and motor mount
bracket (Ref. Nos. 20 and 48).
• Secure pulley cover using socket head bolts, lock washers and

INSTALL V-BELT
Refer to Figures 12 and 17.
• Band saw uses a step-pulley drive system to provide a selection
of blade speeds.
• Place V-belt (Ref. No. 36) on drive and motor pulleys (Ref. Nos. 32
and 37) with V-belt in desired location on pulleys. See Figure 12,
Blade Speed Chart.
• Do not over tighten V-belt. Excessive tension on V-belt will
reduce life of belt. Belt is properly tensioned when light pressure
applied between pulleys produces about 1/2" deflection.
• Tension V-belt by pushing motor mount plate and tightening
socket head bolt (Ref. Nos. 42 and 45).
