Safety Instructions

Safe work with this machine is only possible if you read this operating instruction and follow them strictly.

Additionally, the general safety instructions of the leaflet supplied with the tool must be observed. Prior to the first use, the user should absolve a practical training. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

If the connection cable gets damaged or cut during use, do not touch it, but immediately pull the plug out of the socket. Never use the tool with a damaged connection cable.

The tool must neither be wet nor used in humid environment.

• Do not use this machine to perform work such as roughing, brushing, polishing or disc sanding. Performing tasks for which the machine is not designed can create hazards and lead to injury.
• Never use accessories that were not specially developed and intended for this machine. Just because an accessory part can be fitted on your machine does not guarantee danger-free operation.
• The permissible rotational speed of the accessory must be at least as high as the maximum speed specified on the machine. Accessories that rotate faster than the permissible level can rupture.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of accessories must be within the specified size range of the machine. Accessories with incorrect dimensions cannot be sufficiently protected or controlled.
• Do not use damaged accessories. Before use, always check accessories such as sanding pads for nicks or cracks and check

support plates for cracks and excessive wear. Every time the machine is dropped, check the machine and accessories for damage, or install undamaged accessories. Following the check and assembly of accessories, ensure that all persons are beyond the rotating range of the tool and run the machine for one minute at maximum speed. Damage accessories usually break completely during this test time.

• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use a shield or protective goggles. If practical, wear a breathing mask, ear protectors, safety gloves and a work apron suitable to protect against impact or small sanding or workpiece parts. The protective goggles must be capable of blocking flying debris caused by the various work operations. The breathing mask or device must be capable of filtering particles generated during work. Continuous exposure to loud noise can cause loss of hearing.
• Ensure that persons standing near the machine are at a safe distance from the work area. All persons in the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Parts of the workpiece or broken accessories can fly off and cause injury outside the immediate work area.
• Keep the power cable away from rotating parts. If you lose control, the power cable could be cut or become stuck and your hand or arm could be drawn into the rotating parts.
• Never set the machine down until the tool has stopped completely.

Turning tools can catch on the storage surface, causing you to lose control of the machine.

- Never allow the machine to operate while carrying it at your side.

The rotating tool can catch on your clothing by accident and cause serious cutting injuries.

- Never operate the machine near combustible materials. Sparks can ignite these materials.

Cause and prevention of kickbacks

A kickback is a sudden reaction to jamming or catching of a rotating disc, a support plate, a brush or other accessory. Jamming or catching results in a rapid standstill of the rotating accessory, whereby, as a counter-reaction, an out-of-control machine is accelerated around the jamming point in a direction of rotation opposed to the accessory. If, for example, a sanding disc is jammed or caught by the workpiece, the disc circumference can dig into the workpiece surface at the jamming point, causing the disc to be expelled. The disc can either fly towards or away from the user, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the jamming point. This can also cause sanding discs to break. A kickback is the result of misuse of the machine and/or incorrect method of work or operation and can be avoided by closely observing the following precautionary measures.

• Always hold the machine firmly and position your body and arms such that you can control any kickback force. The user can control reaction torques or kickbacks if suitable precautionary measures are taken.
• Never place your hands near rotating tools. Tools can kick back over your hand.
• Never position your body in the area in which the machine moves in the event of a kickback. A kickback accelerates the machine in the direction of rotation opposed to the disc at the jamming point.
  Take extra care when working in corners, on sharp edges, etc. Avoid kickbacks and prevent the tool from seizing. Corners, sharp edges or a jump back tend to cause the rotating tool to catch, thus leading to a loss of control or a kickback.

Special safety instructions for fine sanding

- Do not use excessively large sanding discs when fine sanding. Observe the specifications of the manufacturer when selecting abrasive discs. A sanding disc that is too large and protrudes over the sanding pad represents a cutting injury hazard and can cause catching, disc tears or kickbacks.

Additional warning notes

• If potentially explosive or self-igniting dust is produced during sanding, the processing instructions of the material manufacturer must be observed under all circumstances.
• Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood and metal). Contact with these dusts, especially inhaling them, can represent a hazard for operating personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations that apply in your country. Connect the electric power tool to a suitable extraction system. To protect your health, wear a P2 protective mask.
• Do not work with materials containing asbestos.
  ■ Modifications of the tool are prohibited.
• Switch the machine off if it stops for whatever reason. This way you avoid that it starts suddenly and not under supervision.
  ■ While working, lead the line cord / extension cord and the extraction hose to the back away from the machine.
• Power tools have to be inspected by a specialist in regular intervals.
• Do not touch rotating parts.

For further safety instructions, please refer to the enclosure!

Electrical Connection

First, check the correspondence between voltage and frequency against the data mentioned on the identification plate. Voltage differences from +6% to -10% are allowed. The ELS 225.1 is made in protection class I.

Only use extension cables with a sufficient cross-section. A cross-section which is too small might cause a considerable drop in performance and an overheating of machine and cable.

Before connecting the machine to the mains supply, make sure that the machine is switched off.

Switching on and off

Switching-on: press on/off switch on I

Switching-off: press on/off switch on 0

Attention!

In case of every stop of the machine or a power cut, press the on/off switch on 0. Consequently, you can avoid an unintentional restart of the machine (physical hazard).

The ELS 225.1 has an adjustment wheel for stepless adjustment of the speed between 1050 and 1600 min ^-1 .

It is located below the On/Off switch.

Tool Change

Attention!

Before the beginning of all works disconnect the plug from the mains!

Only use original accessories in order to allow an optimal extraction.

Press the sanding paper in a way on the rubber foam pad that the extraction holes are not covered.

The 6 hole punch of both discs makes it possible to centre exactly and to position the sanding paper on the machine easily.

Changing the rubber foam pad and the base plate:

Rubber foam pad (Fig.1):

If existing, first remove the sanding paper and then the rubber foam pad carefully.

When fixing the new pad, flange nut and punched holes of the base plate make the positioning easier.

Base plate (Fig.2):

Remove the nut in the middle of the base plate by means of the enclosed face spanner. If necessary, counter hold with a screw driver in the work spindle.

Attention!

Before you start working, check whether the accessory has the exact position. Let the machine start running in a safe position for a short time. In case the machine does not run easily, immediately stop working.

Dust Extraction

Dust which appears during work is harmful to health. For this reason, use an industrial vacuum cleaner while sanding.

The appropriate Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner is available as accessory. Directly connect it to the nozzles which are meant for it on the dust hood.

Changing the sealing lip or the brush rim (Fig.3):

In case of damage of the sealing lip or wear of the brushes (extreme amount of dust during sanding), the sealing lip or the brush rim has to be replaced.

For this purpose, pull the sealing lip or the worn brush rim out of the guide way and put the new one in the flute which is meant for it.

Handling

Connect the lead cable of the long reach sander with the industrial vacuum cleaner and then connect the extraction hose with the dust connection of the sander. Lead the extraction hose and the cable to the back away from the machine. Activate the switch-on automatic on the vacuum cleaner.

Switch the machine on and put it carefully on the surface you want to work on. Hold the machine with both hands and move it in a linear or rotary way.

Do not overload the machine by pressing with excessive force! The best sanding results are achieved with moderate press-on pressure.

The flexibly mounted grinding head enables to the sander to best match the grinding surface. However, please take care not to stretch the flexible drive shaft excessively.

Note:

For full surface sanding of filled walls, we recommend using the brush ring. This facilitates the achievement of absolutely smooth surfaces.

When sanding joints of drywall boards, especially on ceilings, we recommend VacuGlide in conjunction with the sealing lip.

Regulation of suction force (VacuGlide):

For better control of the machine on the grinding surface, you can regulate the suction force of the grinder depending on the suction force of the grinder.

To do so, push the controller (see Fig. 4) to the corresponding setting. Start with a low suction power and slowly increase until you can feel that the application pressure has noticeably changed.

A high suction power makes sanding work on ceilings and walls less tiring.

Excessive suction power can become more difficult to guide.

You can reach high areas by attaching an extension tube (supplied).

Attention!

Do not touch rotating parts!

Overload Protection

In order to protect the user, the motor and the tool is equipped with an electronic overload protection.

Electronic: In case of overload caused by a grinding pressure which is too high, the electronics react by switching OFF the machine. After automatic switch-OFF of the machine you can continue working after switching OFF and ON the power tool again.

Care and Maintenance

Before the beginning of the maintenance or repair works you have to disconnect the plug from the mains.

Repairs may be executed only by appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. After every repair the machine has to be inspected by an electric specialist. Due to its design, the machine needs a minimum of care and maintenance. However, the following points have to be observed:

• Always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
• During work, please pay attention that no particles get inside the machine.
• In case of failure, a repair has to be carried out by an authorised service workshop.

Our after-sales service responds to your questions concerning maintenance and repair of your product as well as spare parts.

EIBENSTOCK's application service team will gladly answer questions concerning our products and their accessories.

Replacing the flexible drive shaft:

If necessary, you can easily replace the flexible drive shaft (see Fig. 5). To do so, press in one of the two locking pins with a suitable tool (for example a screwdriver) (1) and at the same time pull the shaft together with the protective hose from its holder (2).

With the locking pin depressed, insert the new shaft together with the protective hose into the holder and turn the protective hose until the locking pin has engaged securely.

Attention!

Check that the drive shaft is seated securely before start of operation. Let the machine run for a short time in a safe position. Immediately stop the work if the tool is not running smoothly.

Raw Material Recycling instead of Waste Disposal

In order to avoid damages on transportation, the tool has to be delivered in solid packaging. Packaging as well as unit and accessories are made of recyclable materials and can be disposed accordingly.

The tool's plastics components are marked according to their material, which makes it possible to remove environmental friendly and differentiated because of available collection facilities.
