Electrical Connection

Before starting the machine check the correspondence between voltage and frequency according to the data mentioned on the identification plate.

Voltage differences from + 6 % and - 10 % are allowed. The wall chaser is made in protection class II. Only use extension cables with a sufficient cross-section. A cross-section which is too small could cause a considerable drop in performance and an overheating of machine and cable.

The tool is equipped with a start-up speed limiter to prevent that swift automatic circuit breakers are unintentionally triggered.

Recommended minimum cross sections and maximum cable lengths

Mains voltage	Cross section in sq. mm
	1.5	2.5
110V	-	40 m
230V	50 m	80 m

Conversion to hand-held unit

Attention!

Disconnect the mains plug before working on the device!

To mill in hard-to-reach areas, e.g. in corners, the floor guide frame can be removed and the EHF 1400 can be used as a hand-held device.

To do this, first disconnect the connection cable by turning the blue lock in the direction of the arrow and loosening the plug and coupling (see Fig. 1).

Then open the clamping lever on the floor guide frame, turn the rod 90^ and pull off the floor guide frame (see Fig. 2).

Connect the connection cable supplied for manual operation to the machine by plugging the plug and coupling together until you feel the blue lock click into place.

Check the connection before putting the tiller into operation.

Switching on and off

The EFS 1400 is equipped with a lock-off button against unintentional switch-on.

Operation with floor guide device:

1 2

First press the lock-off button (1) to unlock the tool.

To run the tool, press the on/off-switch (2).

As soon as the on/off-switch is released the lock-

off switch is automatically activated to prevent unintended starting.

Operation as a hand-held device:

Momentary switch

Switch on: Push the rocker switch forward (1) and hold it in place.

Switch off: Release the rocker switch.

Before each start-up, check that the milling disc is undamaged and that the indexable inserts are securely mounted.

Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

Place the sliding plate of the heating tiller tilted on the surface to be milled so that the milling disc rotates freely when switching on.

Switch on the device and slowly plunge the milling disc into the material.

Guide the machine with applying moderate feed, suited to the material being worked.

Reduce the feed rate when milling curves in order to mill the cleanest possible groove.

The router is equipped with a parallel stop to ensure that the grooves are evenly spaced.

To set the fence, open the clamping lever on the protective cover, move the fence to the desired position (centre of milling disc - centre of fence = groove spacing) and close the clamping lever (see Fig.3).

After creating the first groove, a uniform groove spacing can now be achieved by plunging the rip fence into the adjacent groove.

Tool change

Attention!

The Milling Cutter might heat up enormously during operation. You could burn your hands or get cut or ripped by the segments. Therefore, always use protective gloves when changing the grinding wheel.

Before any work on the tool, disconnect the plug from the mains!

Changing the milling cutter:

Use the 2.5 mm Allen key to loosen the cover plate on the protective cover (see Fig.4). Press the spindle lock and use the face spanner to loosen the clamping nut on the milling cutter (see Fig. 5). Remove the milling disc and fit a new milling cutter in reverse order.

Changing / turning the indexable cutting inserts:

Use the TX15 Allen key to loosen the fastening screws of the indexable cutting inserts. Turn or replace the indexable cutting inserts.

Check that the indexable inserts are firmly seated!

Clean the work spindle and all parts to be mounted.

In order to check whether the spindle stop is released before you switch on the tool, turn the spindle slightly.

Let the machine run for a short period of time and in a safe position. If the machine does not run easily, stop working immediately.

Dust Extraction

Dust which occurs during your work is hazardous to health. That is why the EHF 1400 must be used with a vacuum cleaner, and a dust mask has to be worn. We also recommend the use of an anti-static hose. This prevents electrostatic charging from occurring.

The suitable Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner is available as accessory. It can directly be attached to the connection on the dust hood.

For better guidance, the suction hose can be fixed to the floor guide frame using the Velcro strip supplied (see Fig. 6).

Care and Maintenance

Before the beginning of 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 always 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.

Disposal

Raw material recycling instead of waste disposal

To avoid damages on transportation, the power tool has to be delivered in a sturdy packing. Packaging as well as unit and accessories are made of recyclable materials and can be disposed accordingly.

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

Only for EU countries

Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste material!

In observance of the European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.

Noise Emission / Vibration

The indication of noise emission is measured according to EN 62841-2-3. The level of acoustic pressure on the work place could exceed 85 dB (A); in this case protection measures must be taken.

Wear ear protectors!

The typical hand-arm vibration is below 2.5 m/s ^4 .

Measured values determined according to EN 62841-2-3.

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given 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 different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly 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 off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Dust Protection

Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative).

• Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.
• To achieve a high level of dust collection, use industrial vacuum cleaner for wood and/or minerals together with this tool.
• The work place must be well ventilated. The use of dust mask of filter class P2 is recommend.

Warranty

According to our general terms of delivery for business dealings, suppliers have to provide to companies a warranty period of 12 months for redhibitory defects (to be documented by invoice or delivery note). Damages due to natural wear, overstressing or improper handling are excluded from this warranty. Damages due to material defects or production faults shall be eliminated free of charge by either repair or replacement. Complaints will be accepted only if the tool is returned in non-dismantled condition to the manufacturer or an authorized Eibenstock service centre.
