Safety Instructions

Safe work with this machine is only possible if you readthis operating instruction and follow them strictly.
Additionally, the general safety instructions of the leafletsupplied with the tool must be observed. Prior to the firstuse, the user should absolve a practical training. Save alwarnings and instructions for future reference.
If the connection cable gets damaged or cut during use, donot touch it, but immediately pull the plug out of the socketNever use the tool with a damaged connection cable.
The tool must neither be wet nor used in humid environment.

• Do not use the tool near explosive materials.
• Do not work with materials containing asbestos.
• Modifications of the tool are prohibited.
• Always check the tool, cable and plug before use. Have damages only repaired by specialists. Only insert the plug into the socket when the tool switch is off.
• When the machine runs outside, always use a protection switch (30 mA max.) against fault current.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and make sure is switched off when the machine is not under supervision, e.g. in case of putting up and stripping down, in case of voltage drop or when fixing or mounting an accessory.
• Switch the machine off if it stops for whatever reason. This way you avoid that it starts suddenly and not under supervision.
• Do not use the machine when one part of the housing is damaged or in case of damages on the switch, cable or plug.
• Check the accessories before use; do not use damaged products.
• Before use, make sure that the tool is correctly fixed and fastened. Let it run idle for about 30 seconds in a safe position. If considerable vibrations occur or if other defects are recognised, switch off immediately.
• While working, lead the line cord and the extension cord to the back away from the machine.
• Power tools have to be inspected by a specialist in regular intervals.
• Never carry the machine at its cable.
• Do not touch rotating parts.
• Persons under 16 years of age are not allowed to use the machine.
• While working, wear ear protectors, a dust mask and protective goggles.
• Make sure that the persons standing in the work area are not hit by particles which fly around.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
• During operation always hold the machine with both hands.
• Caution! The tool still runs for a little while after the machine was switched off.

For further safety instructions, please refer to the enclosure!

Electrical Connection

Before starting the machine, please check the correspondence between voltage and frequency against the data mentioned on the identification plate.
Voltage differences of + 6 % and – 10 % are allowed. The Stirrer EPG 400 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.
Recommended minimum cross sections and maximum cable lengths

Switching on and off

Short-Time Operation

Permanent Operation (only for working with telescopic rod)
Switching-on: press the on/off switch and, keeping it pressed, engage the lock button
Switching-off: press the on/off switch and let it go off again
Attention!
In case of every stop of the machine or a power cut, the lock button has to be released immediately by pressing the on/off switch. Consequently, you can avoid an unintentional restart of the machine (physical hazard).
The machine is equipped with an electronic switch. With this switch the speed can be regulated according to the pressure on the button. Only use the electronic switch when you want to start the machine slowly for a optimal surface.
Permanent use with reduced speed can cause an overload because the motor then gets less cooling air and therefore the machine will be overheated much faster.

Tool Change

Attention!
Before the beginning of all works disconnect the plug from the mains!
Mounting the base plate:
Place the base plate onto the head spindle and secure it with the help of the provided screw.
Mounting the work disk:
Place the work disc centrally onto the Velcro plate.
The entire disk must cling to the Velcro plate to ensure that the disk is attached securely.
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.

Instruction for use

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.
Always make sure you observe the plaster manufacturer’s product information and notes on use.
If the notes on use and the dwell times of the plasters are observed, optimum results can be achieved.
Attention!
Do not touch rotating parts!

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.

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.

Noise Emission / Vibration

Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
Sound pressure level LpA 87 dB(A)
Sound power level LwA 96 dB(A)
Uncertainty K 3 dB
Wear ear protectors!
Vibration total values ah and uncertainty K determined according to EN 60745:

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.

Warranty

According to the general supply conditions 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.)
Damage 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 was returned in non-dismantled condition to the manufacturer or an authorized Eibenstock service centre.
