2.0 Safety Warnings
2.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphe-
res, such as in the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and mo-
ving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use.
The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If the operation of a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-slip
safety shoes and hearing protection used for appro-.
priate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or
supplying power to tools that have the switch on, can
be hazardous.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
Warning

PALLMANN | 14509 E. 33rd Place, Unit G | Aurora CO 80011 | 720.374.4810 | Fax [phone] | www.pallmann.us
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and o󰀨.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other conditions that may a󰀨ect the power
tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
2.2 Machine-specic Safety
Warnings
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
► Do not use damaged insert tool. Before each
use, inspect the insert tool for chips and cracks.
If the power tool or wheel is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel.
After inspecting and installing the insert tool,
position yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged insert tools will normally break apart during
this test time.
► Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on the application, use a face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protection gloves.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping ying
debris generated by various operations.

8
PALLMANN | 14509 E. 33rd Place, Unit G | Aurora CO 80011 | 720.374.4810 | Fax [phone] | www.pallmann.us
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
ltrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
► Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpieces or of a broken accessory
may y away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
► Position the cord clear of the moving accessory.
If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
2.3 Additional safety warnings
Wear safety goggles.
► Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance.
Contact with electrical lines can lead to re and or elec-
trical shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to an explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line will cause property
damage and or may cause an electrical shock.
► When working screed, use dust extraction. The
vacuum cleaner must be approved for the extrac-
tion of stone dust.
Using this equipment reduces dust-related hazards.
► When working with the machine, always hold it
rmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
The power tool is guided more securely with both
hands.
► Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
main plug when the cable is damaged while
working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
2.4 Noise/vibration information
Wear hearing protection.
Measurements determined in accordance with
EN 60745
The A-rated sound pressure level of the machine
is normally
Sound pressure level ............................. dB(A) 85,7
Sound power level...................................dB(A) 96,7
Margin of error ..........................................K=d +/- 1.5 m/s²
Wear hearing protection!
Overall vibration values
(vector sum of three directions)
determined in accordance with EN 60745:
Vibration emission level ..................... ah = 2,7 m/s²
Margin of error ..................................... K = +/- 1.5 m/s²
The vibration emission level indicated in this informa-
tion sheet has been measured in accordance with
a standardised test specied in EN 60745 and may
be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for
di󰀨erent applications, with di󰀨erent accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may di󰀨er. This may
signicantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should
also take into account the times when the tool is switched
o󰀨 or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This
may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the e󰀨ects of vibration include: maintaining the tool
and the accessories, keeping hands warm, organization of
work patterns.

3.0 Assembly
3.1 Assembly of suction ring Fig. F
► Place dust seal on the oor
► Put the machine in the suction ring
3.2 Assembly of the Triple Disc Fig. C
For assembly, the machine is tilted over the wheels and
placed on a rubber plate (18). This makes the drive
accessible for the driving plate. Put the mounting disc
on the actuation and lock it by turning counterclockwise.
The pads are placed in the same way in the middle.
By turning counterclockwise they are xed.
3.3 Additional weight Fig. E
► Only the original weight may be used. Never use other
weights or add additional weights as these can cause
the machine to become overloaded!
Position the additional weight at an angle and snap
into place. PALLMANN recommends that no more
than two additional weights are used
4.0 Use
4.1 Switching on Fig. B
► Mount discs or brushes as described above.
► Put the handle in working position with the lever (11) at
the back.
► We recommend to position the hand grip in the height
of the users hip.
► Lift the handle slightly, to make sure the machine
stands horizontally.
► Keep safety switch (12) pressed.
► Switch on the machine with one of the levers (9)
located beneath the grip.
► Release switch (12).
After switching on the machine, the handle will move
shortly to the right.
4.2 Operating the machine Fig. C
The direction in which the machine runs is determined by
raising and lowering the hand guide. The more the handrail
is raised or lowered, the faster the machine will run in the
appropriate direction.
► lifting the grip: machine runs to the right
► lowering the grip: machine runs to the left.
If you feel unsafe or cannot control the machine just
release lever (9). The machine will stop at once.
If you have carried out some training, you will be able
to operate the machine with one hand.
4.3 Speed control Fig. B
Adjust the speed of the discs with switch (13). Turning
clock-wise increases the speed, turning counterclockwise
decreases the speed. The optimal speed is dependent on
the disc used and the suboor. Always test the optimum
speed in each case. Always start at low speed and then
increase the speed.
4.4 Operation with dust containment
The dust containment will not remove all the abrasive ma-
terial from the oor. It is recommended to clean the oor in
between each grit of sanding with a vacuum cleaner and
oor tool.
► Check condition of dust bag/dust containment in the
vacuum cleaner and replace if full or split
► Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful
to one’s health. Touching or inhaling the dusts can
cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory
infections of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are consi-
de red carcinogenic, especially in connection with
wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservati-
ve). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked
on by specialists.
– Use dust containment whenever possible.
– Provide good ventilation of the work area.
– The use of a P2 lter class respirator is recommended.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
