have thoroughly read and completely
understood this Instruction Manual, including
the figures, specifications, safety regulations
and the signs indicating DANGER, WARN-
ING and CAUTION.
Only carry out such operations with this
power tool as intended for by FEIN. Only use
application tools and accessories that have
been released by FEIN.
Please also observe the relevant national
industrial safety regulations.
Non-observance of the safety instructions in
the said documentation can lead to an electric
shock, burns and/or severe injuries.
This Instruction Manual should be kept for
later use and enclosed with the power tool,
should it be passed on or sold.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
General Safety Rules.
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 at-
mospheres, 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. Distraction 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, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased 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 or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current de-
vice (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 influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in 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 rotating 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 clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The cor-
rect power tool will do the job better 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 the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar 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. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly 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 instruc-
tions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, 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 situ-
ation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Special safety instructions.
This double-insulated power tool is equipped
with a polarized plug (one contact is wider than
the other). The plug will only fit into the polar-
ized socket outlet in one position. Turn the plug
if it does not fit completely into the socket out-
let. If the plug still does not fit, have a qualified
electrician install a polarized socket outlet. Do
not modify or alter the plug under any circum-
stances. Double-insulated power tools nei-
ther require a three-core power cable nor a
power connection with ground contact.
Operate the power tool only off of power sup-
plies whose voltage and frequency values cor-
respond with the values on the type plate of the
power tool.
When operating the power tool in a damp envi-
ronment, it must be connected via a ground-
fault circuit interrupter (g.f.c.i.). Using special
rubber protective gloves and footwear
increase your own safety.
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.
Before mounting or replacing application tools
or accessories, pull the power plug. This pre-
ventive safety measure rules out the danger of
injuries through accidental starting of the
power tool.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing operations where
the application tool could contact hidden wir-
ing or its own power cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
For all work or when changing application
tools, always wear protective gloves. Danger
of injury from the sharp edges of the applica-
tion tools. Application tools can become very
hot while working. Danger of burns!
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.
The power tool is not permitted for operations
or working with water supply. Water penetrat-
ing 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 dam-
aged, protection against an electric shock will
be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power
tool at regular intervals. The motor blower
draws dust into the housing. An excessive
accumulation of metallic dust can cause an
electrical hazard.

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 explo-
sive.
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 repro-
ductive harm.
Examples of such materials and therein con-
tained 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/var-
nish;
– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
– Materials for pesticide treatment on boot
and ship hulls.
To minimise 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 the
frequency how often these materials are
worked. Materials containing asbestos may
only be worked by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust can
causespontaneous combustion
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
unfavourable 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 work-
ing 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 standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one
tool with another. It may be used for a pre-
liminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level repre-
sents the main applications of the tool. How-
ever 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.

Working instructions.
Before mounting or replacing application tools or accessories, pull the power
plug. This preventive safety measure rules out the danger of injuries through
accidental starting of the power tool.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the power tool
manufacturer. Safe operation is not ensured merely because an accessory fits your power tool.
For each job, use only the FEIN application tool released and intended for the respective
application.
Connecting the dust extraction
(Figure 3-5).
When working materials that
produce dust, the power tool is
to be connected to an external dust extraction
via the extraction adapter.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the
material being worked.
When vacuuming dry dusts that are particu-
larly hazardous to one’s health or carcino-
genic, a specialty vacuum cleaner is to be
used.
Switching ON and OFF (Figure 1).
First check that the power
cable and power plug are not
damaged.
Always hold the power tool
firmly. Otherwise, you could
lose control over the power tool.
Switching ON:
➤Push the switch towards the front (I).
Switching OFF:
➤Push the switch towards the back (0).
Setting the oscillating frequency
(Figure 1).
The oscillating frequency can be set infinitely
variable with the dial control.
Increasing the oscillating frequency:
➤Turn dial control in counterclockwise
direction.
Decreasing the oscillating frequency:
➤Turn dial control in clockwise direc-
tion.
Securing the work piece.
Secure the workpiece firmly. A
work piece that is gripped
tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more
secure than if held by hand.
Sanding
Typical application: Dry sanding of wood and
metal, especially of smaller surfaces, corners and
edges, as well as hard to reach locations.
Work with the complete surface of the sanding
plate, not only with the tip. Select a high oscillat-
ing frequency. Sand with continuous motion
and light pressure. Applying excessive pressure
does not increase material removal; only the
sanding sheet wears more quickly.
Sawing
Typical application: Sawing of thin steel sheet,
wood and plastic components.
Select a high oscillating frequency.
Round saw blades can be clamped offset again
to provide uniform wear.
While sawing or plunge cutting, provide for
good chip removal by applying a light pendulum
motion.
Scraping
Typical application: Scraping off old coats of
varnish or adhesives, removing bonded car-
peting, e. g., on stairs/steps or other small/
medium-sized surfaces.
Select a medium to high oscillating frequency.

Maintenance.
Before mounting or replacing application tools or accessories, pull the power plug.
This preventive safety measure rules out the danger of injuries through acciden-
tal starting of the power tool.
Service
Have maintenance carried out
only through qualified person-
nel. Incorrectly mounted leads and components
can cause serious injuries. Have the required
service carried out only through a FEIN cus-
tomer service agent.
Cleaning
Prior to any cleaning or mainte-
nance, disconnect the power
tool from the power supply in order to avoid
accidents.
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. This can
impair the total insulation 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.
For additional protection, connect a residual
current device (RCD) on the line side.
Do not attempt to clean clogged or dirty
ventilation openings of the power tool
with pointed metal objects; use non-
metal tools or objects for this.
Do not use cleaning agents and solvents
that can cause damage to plastic parts.
These include: Gasoline, carbon-tetrachlo-
ride, chloric solvents, ammonia and domestic
cleaning agents that contain ammonia.
When the power tool’s power cable is
damaged, it must be replaced by a quali-
fied person using a specially prepared power
cable, available from your FEIN customer
service agent.
Accessories.
Only use accessories recommended by FEIN.
Warranty and liability.
The warranty for the product is valid in accor-
dance with the legal regulations in the country
where it is marketed.
In addition, FEIN also provides a guarantee in
accordance with the FEIN manufacturer’s
guarantee. For further details on this, please
contact your specialist dealer, your national
FEIN representative, or the FEIN customer
service centre.
Environmental protection,
disposal.
Packaging, worn out power tools and accesso-
ries should be sorted for environment-friendly
recycling. Further information can be obtained
from your specialist dealer.
