Palmgren Operating Manual & Parts List
SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED)
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches
invite accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power
tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for tool.
Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of the workplace. Make workshop childproof.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent
any unauthorized use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting proce-
dures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that ad-
justing 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 in-
tended 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 re-
paired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use the
parts list to order replacement 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 from power when changing abrasive belt or
disc.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch 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 sanding 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 belt or disc are unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, application and
specific limitations.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Belt jams when it digs to deeply into
workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work).
• Support workpiece with miter gauge, belt platen or work table.
• Maintain 1/16" maximum clearance between table and sanding
belt or disc.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing.
Use this manual to order replacement parts.
Before sander is assembled, a suitable location should be chosen.
The sander with cabinet weighs approximately 200 lbs when com-
pletely assembled. They should be assembled on location.
• Sander needs to be set on a flat, level surface.
• Make sure there is ample room for moving the workpiece
through the entire cut. There must be enough room that nei-
ther the operator nor the bystanders will have to stand in line
while using the tool.
• Good lighting and correct power supply are also required for a
proper work area.
ADJUST BELT HOUSING TO VERTICAL POSITION
1. Move to the front of the sander; loosen and remove four knobs.
2. Remove dust hoods.
3. Loosen both hex nuts on the belt housing casting. Do not take
out hex nut.
4. Move to the rear of the sander and gently lift the belt housing
up supporting the housing from both sides.
5. Lift belt housing until it is adjusted to the vertical position.
6. Tighten both hex nuts from the rear of the sander.
7. Replace dust hood and tighten knobs.
ATTACH FOOT RESTS
Required parts and hardware: Four foot rest assemblies.
CAUTION:
Sander with cabinet weighs approximately 200 lbs. At
least two people are required to attach foot rests.
1. Carefully tip the sander to raise cabinet from the floor just
enough so that one foot rest with bolt can be positioned under
the cabinet corner so that the bolt slides through the hole on
the cabinet base. Slowly set the sander back to the floor. Repeat
three more times to position one foot rest with bolt under each
of the cabinet corner.
2. Loosen knob and open cabinet door.
3. Using the cabinet door opening, secure foot rests to cabinet
using four flat washers and four hex nuts.
4. Make sure all the hex nuts are tight.
