DESCRIPTION
Palmgren Arbor Press is designed for riveting, squeezing,
bending, punching, flattening, removing a bearing or pressing
in bearings. Removable, rotating, machined anvil has 4-slots

size and shape. Arbor press comes with three punches and a
magnetic insert to hold the punch. Press is equipped with
handwheel to perform light presswork. Press is suited for
work in production lines as well as in machine shops, auto-
motive repair shops and home workshops.
SAFETY RULES
•
For best operation, the arbor press must be bolted to a
stationary object that is also affixed to the floor.
•
When using the press, be sure the work is mounted
securely in it. Do not attempt to use the press with the
workpiece mounted on an angle.
•
Use only accessories designed for the arbor press.
Attachments and equipment used in the pressing opera-
tion must be as strong as the press. Use steel collars and
blocks to press against the workpiece.
•
Do not overload the press by using handle extensions
(cheater bars).
•
Remove arm-handle from arbor press before using
handwheel.
•
When not in use, the ram should be in the down position
to prevent accidents.
•
Know the arbor press and accessories. Read and under-
stand owner’s manual.
•
Wear a face shield or safety glasses.
•
Never place hands in jeopardy.
•
Always check your set up, i.e., see that the ram contacts
workpiece squarely before applying pressure.
•
Keep your mind on your work. Be alert.
•
Make sure workpiece, punch, anvil and accessories are
securely clamped.
•
Don’t force the arbor press or its accessories.
