Follow the safety warnings in the operating instructions
of the battery charger.
Hand/arm vibrations
The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a stand-
ardised test given in EN 62841 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 accesso-
ries 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 expo-
sure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the
tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organi-
sation of work patterns.
Operating Instructions.
Adjust the rotation selector switch only when the
machine is at a complete stop.
To avoid accidental starting, e. g., during transport, set
the rotation selector switch to the centre position.
When overheated, the machine runs with short, low-
power impulses. Allow the machine to cool down at
no-load speed.
ASCT18/ASCT18M: The screwdriving applications are to
be carried out with mounted depth stop.
ASCT18M/ASCT18UM: The collated cartridge may only
be operated in "clockwise-rotation direction" position.
Setting the torque (ASCT18U/ASCT18UM)
(see page 7).
The factory setting is for the small to mid-size screw
range.
The tightening torque also depends on the force with
which the power tool is pressed against the screw.
Handling the battery.
Store, operate and charge the battery only using FEIN
battery chargers within the battery operating-tempera-
ture range between 5 °C – 45 °C (41 °F – 113 °F). At
the beginning of the charging procedure, the battery
temperature must be within the battery operating-tem-
perature range.
