Palmgren Operating Manual & Parts List
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly in-
stalled and grounded in accordance with all local codes and or-
dinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired
by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a
live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be re-
placed with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed
in accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
• A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See Figure
6) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is
properly grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless per-
mitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on
the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a perma-
nent electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe,
a properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire
system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Running the unit on voltages which are not within ±10% of the
specified voltage may cause overheating and motor burn-out.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) ex-
tension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, re-
place it immediately.
Make sure this is
connected to a
known grounded
receptacle.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure tool is off and disconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or
anytime wiring is inspected.
• Motor and wires are installed as shown in wiring diagram (See
Figure 7). Motor is assembled with approved, 3-conductor cord
to be used at 120/240 volts. Motor is prewired at the factory for
120 volts.
Sander has a locking rocker switch with removable key for safe and
easy operation
• Remove the key from the locking rocker to prevent unautho-
rized use of the tool.To replace the key, press key into the slot
on the locking rocker.
• To use the sander witha 240V power supply, have a qualified
electrician rewire motor and attach a 240 volt three-prong plug
onto sander line cord.
Sander also has a thermal overload protector to prevent damage to
motor and other electrical components. The thermal overload pro-
tector will get activated when high temperature conditions are ob-
served while operating the tool. This will turn the tool off to
prevent temperature buildup. If that occurs, give adequate time for
the sander to cool down and depress the reset button once. The
tool will be ready to operate.

OPERATION

Refer to Figure 7.
WARNING:
Operation of any power tool can result in foreign ob-
jects being thrown into eyes which can result in severe eye dam-
age. Always wear safety goggles complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool
operation.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following safety precautions:
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool, turn
switch OFF and remove the plug from power source.
• Recheck table handles. They must be tightened securely.
• Make sure all guards are properly attached and securely
fastened.
• Make sure all moving parts are free and clear of any interference.
• Make sure all fasteners are tight and have not vibrated loose.
• With power disconnected, test operation by hand to verify
clearance and adjust if necessary.
• Always wear eye protection or face shield.
• Make sure abrasive belt tracks properly. Correct tracking gives
optimum performance.
• After turning switch ON, always allow belt to come up to full
speed before sanding or grinding.
• Be sure motor runs clockwise on disc side. Abrasive belt must
travel down.
• Keep your hands clear of abrasive belt, disc and all moving parts.
