DESCRIPTION
Palmgren 6” and 8” Variable Speed Bench Grinders are equipped
with totally enclosed ball bearing motors. Armature assembly is
dynamically balanced for smooth operation. Grinders feature LED
digital display of RPM and variable speed operation. Grinders oper-
ate from 1800 to 3450 RPM, by increments of 100 RPM. Removable
wheel guards allow for easy changing of wheels. Ratchet-type tool
rests are adjustable for wheel wear and angle grinding. Grinder
comes complete with spark guards, safety eyeshields and dust col-
lection hose.
UNPACKING
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a claim must
be filed with the carrier immediately. Check for completeness.
Immediately report missing parts to dealer.
To be certain the grinding wheels have not been damaged in ship-
ment, strike the edges slightly with a metal object. A ringing sound
indicates a good wheel, but a dull noise may signal a fracture.
WARNING:
If you suspect a wheel of being fractured, replace it
immediately. Fractured wheels may shatter, causing serious injury.

SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
For your own safety, read operating instructions
manual before operating tool.
CAUTION:
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in
this manual even if you are familiar with use of this or similar tools.
Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a second can
result in severe personal injury.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using such tools.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
•
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts of machine.
•
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•
Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
•
Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
NOT safety glasses.
•
Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
•
Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
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 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 pre-
vent any unintentional 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 clean for safest operation.
•
Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before turning 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 of moving parts, breakage of parts, 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
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.
