Warranty

The warranty period for new Pallmann machines® shall last for one year from the point at which 

the machine is transferred / delivered to the customer, insofar as statutory legal requirements do 

not stipulate otherwise.
When validating warranty claims, the invoice or proof of purchase must always be submitted.  

All repairs within the framework of the warranty agreement must be undertaken by a service 

center that has been accredited by us.
Customers performing their own repairs and/or improper repairs regularly lead to the exclusion 

of warranty claims. The same also applies to incorrect operation and/or use.

Replacement of parts, accessories and other modifications to Pallmann machines

Users of Pallmann® sanding machines enjoy a high level of safety and reliability of their machine. 

In order to maintain this status quo, your Pallmann sanding machine may not be modified from 

the condition in which it is delivered without the following rules below.
These rules apply to both the replacement of parts and equipping the machine with accessories 

as well as other technical modifications.

q   

All work undertaken to your Pallmann machine must be 

undertaken exclusively by a 

workshop

 that has suitably trained and experienced personnel at its disposal, as well as the 

requisite work equipment. We recommend using authorized service centers.

q   

In the event of planned replacement of parts, planned addition of accessories or other 

planned technical modifications, as assessment must always be carried out 

by an authorized 

service center or us, as manufacturer, before work is commenced.

q   

It is highly recommended that only safety-approved 

Original Pallmann 

replacement 

parts and 

Original Pallmann

 accessories are used, which have been approved by us, as 

manufacturer.

  

Replacement parts and accessories can be obtained from your authorized service center, 

which will also be able to undertake professional installation on your behalf. Original 

Pallmann replacement parts and Original Pallmann accessories have been checked for safety 

and suitability especially for Pallmann machines.

  

We are unable to adequately assess the safety and suitability of non-Original Pallmann 

replacement parts.

q   

In order to preserve operational safety and to prevent damage in the event of technical 

modifications, of whatsoever nature, our technical guidelines 

must always be observed.

 We 

are also always happy to hear from you should you have any other questions about your 

Pallmann machine.

Please note that we cannot accept any liability for damage, insofar as this is sustained as the 

result of incorrect work undertaken or as the result of violation of the rules stated above.
