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 opera-
tor from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool
and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation
of work patterns.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where mate-
rial 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 power 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.
Operating instructions.
When using this power tool not as
WARNING
intended for by applying fluids for
lubrication of the application tool, the user can be sub-
jected to an increased risk of electric shock. Avoid nega-
tive impact on the power tool by applying fluid.
Guide the power tool toward the work piece only
when switched on.
Guide the power tool uniformly and with light feed in the
cutting direction. Excessive feed reduces the tool life of
the application tools.
Stroke adjustment:
– low stroke for working metal and plastics,
– high stroke for working wood.
To increase the service life of the saw blade when sawing
metal, it is recommended to use a coolant/lubricant via
the integrated tank in the transmission housing:
– 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.
Safety switch PRCD (see page 9)
The PRCD is indispensable; it is used for protection of
the power tool operator against electric shock. Under
fault-free operation, the control lamp of the PRCD lights
up red.
Check the operability of the PRCD before beginning to
work:
– Connect the plug of the PRCD with the mains socket
outlet.
– Press the RESET–button. The indicator on the PRDC
lights up red.
– Disconnect the plug from the socket outlet. The red
indicator goes out.
– Repeat steps 1. and 2.
– Press the TEST–button; the red indicator goes out.
– Press the RESET–button; when the indicator lights up
red, the power tool can be switched on.
Do not use the PRCD for switching the power tool on
and off.
Repair and customer service.
When working metal under extreme operat-
ing conditions, it is possible for conductive
dust to settle in the interior of the power tool.
The total insulation of the power tool can be impaired.
Blow out the interior of the power tool via the ventila-
tion slots frequently with dry and oil-free compressed air.
When the power tool's power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by FEIN or by an authorized FEIN Service
Agent, in order to avoid hazardous situations.
If required, you can change the following parts yourself:
