SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
General Power Tool Safety Warn-
ings.
1) Work area safety
a)Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a)Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b)Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
b)Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
WARNING

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g)If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
h)Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
4) Power tool use and care
a)Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b)Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool
before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
d)Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous sit-
uation.
h)Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and con-
trol of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a)Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b)Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.

d)Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irri-
tation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpre-
dictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C
may cause explosion.
g)Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a)Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
b)Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or
Special safety instructions.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surface when performing operations where
the application tool could contact hidden
wires. Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical method to
secure and support the work piece on a stable
surface. When holding the work piece only
by hand or against your body, it remains in an
unstable position, which can lead to loss of
control.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the
power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is
not ensured merely because an accessory fits
your power tool.
Grasp/hold the power tool in such a safe man-
ner that your body never comes in contact
with the application tool, particularly when
working with application tools pointing
toward the gripping area, such as with saw
blades or cutting tools. Touching sharp cut-
ting edges or edges can lead to injury.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
safety glasses must be capable of protecting
against flying particles generated by the vari-
ous operations. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause loss of hearing.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
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 recom-
mended.
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.
After working gypsum-containing materials:
Blow out the ventilation openings of the
power tool and the switch element with dry
and oil-free compressed air. Otherwise, gyp-
sum-containing dust can settle in the power
tool housing and switch element, which can
harden in connection with humidity. This can
impair the switching mechanism.
Use and handling of the battery (bat-
tery pack)
To avoid hazardous situations such as burns,
fire, explosion, skin injuries, and other inju-
ries 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 dam-
age 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 bat-
tery 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, imita-
tions 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.
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 infec-
tions, cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
Examples of such materials which contain
chemicals that can produce hazardous dusts,
are:
–Asbestos and materials containing asbes-
tos;
–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 pre-
servatives;
–Materials for pesticide treatment on boat
and ship hulls;
–Stainless steel dust, metal dust and non-
ferrous 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 work-
place.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on how
often these materials are worked. Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked on
by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust can
cause spontaneous combus-
tion or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/var-
nish remainders or other chemical materials
in the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite
under unfavorable conditions, such as spark-
ing 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.
While working with this power
tool, hand/arm vibrations
occur. These can lead to health impairments.
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.
It is necessary to identify
safety measures to protect the
operator 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 62841 and may be used to compare one
tool with another. It may be used for a pre-
liminary assessment of the vibrational impact.
The declared vibration emission level repre-
sents the main applications of the power tool.
However, if the power tool is used for other
applications with different accessories or
poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the
vibrational impact 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 vibrational
load over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration
such as: Maintain the power tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organiza-
tion of work patterns.

briefly and firmly against a flat surface and
briefly switch the power tool on. This pro-
vides for good adhesion and prevents prema-
ture wear.
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.
When sanding with small triangle sanding
plates, select a high oscillating frequency
(electronics level 4 – 6); when sanding with
the round sanding plate and the large triangle
sanding plate, select a moderate oscillating
frequency (max. electronics level 4).
Sand with continuous motion applying mod-
erate pressure. Applying excessive pressure
does not increase the rate of removal, it only
wears off the sanding sheet faster.
Notes on sawing.
Select a high oscillating frequency. Round saw
blades can be released and clamped offset
again, to allow for uniform wearing off.
Notes on scraping.
Select a moderate to high oscillating fre-
quency.

Cleaning.
Remove the battery prior to
any maintenance and clean-
ing. This preventive safety measure rules out
the danger of injuries through accidental start-
ing of the power tool.
When using in environments
with conductive dust in the
air, such as when working metals, this dust
can settle in the interior of the power tool.
Therefore, regularly blow out the interior of
the power tool from outside via the ventilation
openings with dry, oil-free compressed air;
always wear eye protection when doing this.
Do not attempt to clean
clogged or dirty ventilation
openings of the power tool with pointed
metal objects; use nonmetal tools or objects
if necessary.
Do not use cleaning agents
and solvents that can cause
damage to plastic parts. These include: Gas-
oline, carbon-tetrachloride, chloric solvents,
ammonia and domestic cleaning agents that
contain ammonia.
When working gypsum-containing materials,
dust can settle within the power tool and
switch element, which can harden in connec-
tion with humidity. This can impair the
switching mechanism. Blow out the interior
of the power tool via the ventilation slots and
the switch element frequently with dry and
oil-free compressed air.
