Special safety instructions.

Before mounting or replacing application tools or accessories, remove the battery. This preventive safety measure rules out the danger of injuries through accidental starting of the power tool.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Grasp the power tool in such a safe manner that your body never comes into contact with the application tool, especially while working with application tools such as saw blades or other blades pointed toward the grasping range. Touching sharp tips or cutting edges can lead to injuries.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other persons or animals. Danger of injury from sharp or hot application tools.

The power tool is not permitted for operations or working with water supply. Water penetrating the motor casing can lead to electric shock.

Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the power tool. If the insulation is damaged, protection against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.

Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regular intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accumulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.

Use and handling of the battery (battery pack)

To avoid hazardous situations such as burns, fire, explosion, skin injuries, and other injuries when handling the battery, observe the following instructions:

Batteries must not be disassembled, opened or reduced in size. Do not subject batteries to mechanical impact or shock. Hazardous vapours and fluid can escape in case of damage and improper use of the battery. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause skin irritations or burns.

When battery fluid from a damaged battery has come into contact with objects close by, check the respective components, clean them or replace them as required.

Keep the battery away from heat and fire. Do not store the battery in direct sunlight.

Do not remove the battery from its original packaging until it is going to be used.

Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery from the power tool. If the power tool accidentally starts, there is danger of injury.

Remove the battery only when the power tool is switched off.

Keep the battery away from children.

Keep the battery clean and protect it against moisture and water. Clean contaminated battery terminals and power tool connections with a dry, clean cloth.

Use only intact original FEIN batteries that are intended for your power tool. When working with and charging incorrect, damaged, repaired or reconditioned batteries, imitations or other brands, there is danger of fire and/or explosion.

Follow the safety warnings in the operating instructions of the battery charger.

Handling hazardous dusts.

WARNING When working with power tools, such as when grinding,

sanding, polishing, sawing or for other work procedures where material is removed, dusts develop that are both hazardous to one’s health and can spontaneously combust or be explosive.

Contact with or inhaling some dust types can trigger allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Examples of such materials and therein contained chemicals, where hazardous dusts can develop when working them, are:

–Asbestos and materials containing asbestos;

–Lead-containing coatings, some wood types such as beech and oak;

–Minerals and metal;

–Silicate particles from bricks, concrete and other materials containing stone;

–Solvent from solvent-containing paint/varnish;

–Arsenic, chromium and other wood preservatives;

–Materials for pesticide treatment on boot and ship hulls;

–Stainless steel dust, metal dust and nonferrous metal dust.

To minimize the unwanted intake of these materials:

–Use dust extraction matched appropriately for the developing dust.

–Use personal protective equipment, such as a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.

–Provide for good ventilation of the workplace.

The risk from inhaling dusts depends on the frequency how often these materials are worked. Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

CAUTION Wood and light-metal dust can cause spontaneous combus-

tion or explosions.

Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/varnish remainders or other chemical materials in the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite under unfavorable conditions, such as sparking from sanding metal, continuous sunlight or high ambient temperatures. To prevent this:

–Avoid overheating the material being sanded and the power tool.

–Empty the dust collector/container in time.

–Observe the material manufacturer’s working instructions.

–Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials being worked.

Hand/arm vibrations.

WARNING While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations

occur. These can lead to health impairments.

WARNING The vibration emission value during actual use of the power

tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.

WARNING It is necessary to identify safety measures to protect the oper-

ator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use.

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, organization of work patterns.

Notes on sanding.

Typical application: Dry sanding of wood and painted surfaces.

When only one tip or corner of the sanding sheet is worn, it can be removed again and reattached turned by 120° .

Work with the entire surface of the sanding plate, not only with the tip. Select a high oscillating frequency. Sand with continuous motion applying moderate pressure. Applying overly pressure does not increase the rate of removal, it only wears off the sanding sheet faster.

Select a high oscillating frequency. Round saw blades can be released and clamped offset again, to allow for uniform wearing off.

When sawing and plunging, provide for good removal of chippings by applying moderate pendular motion.

Notes on scraping.

Typical application: Scraping off old coatings or adhesive, removal of glued carpet, e. g., on steps or other small/mid-sized surfaces.

Select a moderate to high oscillating frequency.

Notes on sawing.

Typical application: Sawing thin steel sheet, wood and plastic parts.
