For your safety.
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Do not use this pneumatic tool before you have
thoroughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual. The documents mentioned
should be kept for later use and enclosed with the pneu-
matic tool, should it be passed on or sold.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety
regulations.
Intended use of the pneumatic tool:
Hand-guided compressed air hacksaw for commercial use
for cutting round and other shaped work pieces of metal,
plastic and cement in weather-protected environments
using the application tools and accessories recommended
by FEIN.
Safety instructions.
Workplace
Keep work area clean and tidy. Cluttered or dark work
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate the pneumatic tool in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dusts. Pneumatic tools create sparks which can
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating the
pneumatic tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol over the pneumatic tool.
Safety when handling compressed air
Clean the compressed-air supply regularly. Protect the
hose from kinks, contraction, heat, and sharp edges.
Firmly tighten the hose clamps. Have damaged hoses and
couplings repaired immediately. In case of malfunctions
to the air supply, the compressed-air hose can be thrown
about and lead to injury. Raised dust or chips may cause
serious eye injury.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a pneumatic tool. Do not use a
pneumatic tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating a pneumatic tool may result in personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch
is in the “OFF” position before connecting the pneumatic
tool to the compressed-air supply. When your finger is
on the switch while carrying the pneumatic tool or when
connecting the pneumatic tool to the compressed-air
supply while it is switched on, accidents can occur.
Remove any adjustment tools or spanners before switch-
ing on the pneumatic tool. An adjustment tool or spanner
left attached to a rotating part of a pneumatic tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the pneumatic tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Pneumatic tool use and care
Do not overload the pneumatic tool. Use the application
tool intended for your work. The correct pneumatic tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use a pneumatic tool that has a defective switch.
A pneumatic tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the energy supply before making any pneu-
matic tool adjustments, changing accessories, or placing
the pneumatic tool aside. This safety measure prevents
accidental starting of the tool.
Store idle pneumatic tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the pneumatic tool or
these instructions to operate the pneumatic tool. Pneu-
matic tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain the pneumatic tool with care. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving pneumatic tool parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect
the pneumatic tool’s operation. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the pneumatic tool. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained pneumatic tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the pneumatic tool, accessories, application tools,
etc. according to these instructions and as specified for
this specific type of pneumatic tool. Take into considera-
tion the working conditions and the activities to be car-
ried out. Use of pneumatic tools for operations different
from those intended could result in hazardous situations.
Use the auxiliary handle provided with the pneumatic
tool. Loss of control over the pneumatic tool can cause
injuries.
Hold the pneumatic tool firmly with both hands and keep
proper footing and balance at all times. The pneumatic
tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is
considered carcinogenic.
Keep your hands well away from the saw blade. Do not
place your hands in front of or underneath the saw blade.
Any contact with the saw blade can cause personal inju-
ries. The saw blade can become very hot during the saw-
ing process.
Apply the pneumatic tool to the work piece only when
switched-on. Danger of kickback or loss of control over
the pneumatic tool.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
pneumatic tool. Adhesive labels are recommended.
Do not use accessories that have not been especially
designed or released by the pneumatic tool manufac-
turer. Safe operation is not ensured only because an
accessory fits your pneumatic tool.
Pay attention to hidden conductors/leads, gas and water
pipes. Before beginning to work, check the working area,
e. g., with a metal detector.
Service
Have your pneumatic tool repaired only through a quali-
fied repair person and only using original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pneumatic
tool is maintained.
Special safety instructions.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when
performing operations where the application tool could
contact hidden wires. Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
Secure the work piece firmly. A work piece that is
gripped tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more
secure than if held by hand.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on appli-
cation, 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 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 opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
Do not direct the application tool against yourself, other
persons or animals. Danger of injury from sharp or hot
application tools.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this tool where material is
removed, dusts develop that can be hazardous to one’s
health.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g., asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-
ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate particles
from materials containing stone, paint solvents, wood
preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can trigger
allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/or
lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. The risk from inhaling dusts
depends on the exposition. Use dust extraction matched
appropriately for the developing dust, as well as personal
protective equipment and provide for good ventilation of
the workplace. Leave the processing of asbestos-contain-
ing materials to specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of sanding dust
and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfavourable
conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid sparking in the
direction of the dust collector as well as overheating of
the pneumatic tool and the materials being sanded, empty
the dust collector/container in time, observe the material
manufacturer’s working instructions, as well as the rele-
vant regulations in your country for the materials being
worked.
Connecting to the compressed-air supply.
For trouble-free operation of the pneumatic tool, use a
maintenance unit consisting of water separator, oil lubri-
cator and compressed-air regulator. Please check
whether the pressure in the compressed-air supply cor-
responds to the pressure indicated on the rating plate of
the pneumatic tool.
–Blow out the hose before connecting.
The hose should have a minimum diameter of 13 mm.
The opening of the valve and the coupling should have a
diameter of at least 8 mm.
Before beginning to work, check if the oiler installed in
the handle is filled.
The correct setting of the oiler and a sufficient supply of
oil is required for optimal function of the oiler.
External oilers are only effective to a hose length of 5 m
(max.), as otherwise the oil remains in the hose and does
not reach the machine.
If required, fill the oil reservoir with FEIN special motor
oil 3 21 32 017 05 0 (high-grade hydraulic oil, quality:
HLP/ISO-VG22). Do not use automotive engine oils, as
these are not suitable for pneumatic tools.
Operating Instructions.
Guide the pneumatic tool toward the work piece
only when switched on.
Guide the pneumatic tool uniformly and with light feed
in the cutting direction. Excessive feed considerably
reduces the tool life of the application tools.
Stroke adjustment:
–low stroke rate for working aluminium and plastics,
–high stroke rate for working steel.

To increase the tool life of the saw blade when sawing
metal, it is recommended to use a lubricating agent:
–for cuts in steel sheet: Cutting oil,
–for cuts in aluminium: Petroleum.
As an alternative, cutting paste can also be applied to the
cutting line.
When uncoupling hose couplings, first shut the ball valve,
then actuate the pneumatic tool, and then uncouple. Do
not uncouple the hose coupling until after the com-
pressed air has been completely relieved.
Using the recommended clamping
devices.
Clamping fixture 9 07 02 001 00 1
For pipes with diameters to 150 mm, use the clamping
fixture 9 07 02 001 00 1.
–Place the clamping chain around the work piece and
insert the hooks of the grabber in the clamping chain.
–Tension the chain with the clamping-fixture handle.
–Mount the hacksaw to the retaining bolt (see “Mount-
ing the clamping fixture”).
The clamping head is readjustable for saw cuts and can be
used for angle cuts.
Clamping fixture 9 07 02 004 00 6
For large pipes with diameters from 150 mm to 325 mm,
use the clamping fixture 9 07 02 004 00 6 as well as saw
blades with lengths of 500 mm or 600 mm, and a thick-
ness of 2 mm. With the extension chain
3 02 31 003 00 3 (bolts 3 02 16 130 00 4), pipes with
diameters to 440 mm can also be cut.
Clamping fixture 9 06 06 002 00 9
When cutting pipes with diameters to 325 mm with the
1.6 mm thick and 530 mm long saw blade, use the saw
blade guide 9 06 06 002 00 9.
–With the auxiliary handle removed, mount the saw
blade guide to the mounting hole of the pneumatic
tool’s gear head.
Clamping fixture 9 07 02 003 00 8
To cut profiled sections to a width of 290 mm and a
height of 550 mm, use the clamping fixture
9 07 02 003 00 8. Its design corresponds to that of a par-
allel vice. The clamping jaws and the clamping head are
adjustable.
Clamping fixture 9 07 02 005 00 0
When cutting pipes and round stock with outside diam-
eters from 80 to 400 mm, use the clamp and feed device
9 07 02 005 00 0 to guide the hacksaw. A safety clutch
limits the duration that the saw blade is engaged and thus
increases tool life. For proper handling, please refer to
Instruction Manual 3 41 00 898 06 6.
Support for free hand working 3 27 14 062 02 3
To saw materials such as corrugated sheet, use the sup-
port for free hand working 3 27 14 062 02 3.
Remove the auxiliary handle and mount the support for
free hand working to the hacksaw via the clamping head
and the two gear head mounting holes for the auxiliary
handle. The saw blade goes through the opening.
Repair and customer service.
Carry out the following steps once per week:
–Pour a small quantity of petroleum directly into the
air intake of the pneumatic tool.
–Start the pneumatic tool for 10 to 15 seconds. In this
period, the petroleum will seep out of the pneumatic
tool along with the accumulated debris.
–Adding a small quantity of oil into the air intake after
the cleaning will benefit the performance of the
motor.
Further lubrication is covered by the oiler installed in the
handle.
Maintain and clean the pneumatic tool every 300 work
hours or every 6 months.
When the pneumatic tool’s hose is damaged, it must be
replaced with a specially prepared hose, available from
your FEIN customer service agent.
Correct setting of the oiler:
Under operating pressure (6 bar min.) and with the filler
plug (1) open, the oil must bubble.
One oil filling is sufficient for approx. 8 operating hours.
After removing the screw plug (2), the setting screw (3)
can be accessed.
Tightening (turning clockwise) the setting screw reduces
the oil feed, releasing (turning anticlockwise) the setting
screw increase the oil feed to the machine.
In most cases, tightening or releasing by ¼ to ½ thread
will be sufficient.
Allow a Ø 2 mm clearance in the passage hole.
Check the correct oiler setting by applying a paper test:
Hold a white sheet of paper in front of the air outlet of
the machine; the oil film being expelled may not start to
drip off.
