Changing the Diamond Grinding Wheel

Attention! The grinding wheel 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

• Actuate the spindle stop and keep it pressed.
• Use the face spanner to unscrew the driving nut. Then remove the mounted grinding wheel respectively mount the new one. The assembly works the other way round! Pay attention that the collar of the clamping nut faces away from the machine, as shown in the figure.
• 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. Use only the original accessory

Dust Extraction
Dust that occurs during your work is hazardous to health. That is why the EBS 120.1 must be used with a vacuum cleaner, and a dust mask has to be worn. The suitable Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner (dust category M) is available as accessory. It can directly be attached to the connection on the dust hood.

Changing the brush rim
If the length of the brushes is – due to wear – smaller than 5 mm (extreme formation of dust during grinding), the brush rim has to be replaced completely. Pull out the worn brush rim and replace it by a new one.

Instruction for Use
Switch the machine on and put it carefully on the surface you want to work on. Hold the tool with both hands and work with circular or linear movements. For best working results: Don’t put too much pressure on the surface you want to work on.

For grinding works right into edges of the wall one segment of the dust guard can be opened by means of the chucking device. This allows grinding on surfaces which are usually hard to reach. In this case, an increased amount of dust is possible.

Attention! All other grinding works have to be done with the complete dust guard.

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 power tool needs a minimum of care and maintenance. The following works have to be carried out or rather the component parts have to be inspected:

• Always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots
• During work, please pay attention that no particles get inside the
• 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.

Environmental Protection
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.

1. The indication of noise emission is measured according to DIN 45 635, part
2. 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/s2. Measured values determined according to EN 60 745.

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). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists.

• 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 (dust category M) for wood and/or minerals together with this tool.
• The work place must be well ventilated.
• The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.

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.
