Working Advice
English
Remove the battery from the power tool
u
before carrying out work on the power tool
(e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The
battery should also be removed for trans-
port and storage. There is risk of injury from
unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Switch the power tool off immediately if
u
the saw blade becomes blocked.
Tips
English
When sawing lightweight materials, take
u
into account the statutory provisions and
recommendations of the material manufac-
turers.
Before sawing into wood, chipboard, building
materials, etc., check for any foreign objects
such as nails, screws, etc. and use a suitable saw
blade.
Switch on the power tool and guide it towards
the workpiece you wish to work on. Place the
base plate (2) on the surface of the workpiece
and saw through the material applying even
pressure and feed. Switch the power tool off
once you have finished your work.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the saw
blade jams. Widen the sawing gap slightly with a
suitable tool and pull the power tool out.
Plunge cutting (see figure D)
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft
u
materials, such as wood, gypsum board,
etc. Do not plunge cut metal materials.
For plunge cutting, use only short saw blades.
Place the power tool so that the edge of the base
plate (2) rests on the workpiece, without the saw
blade (1) touching the workpiece, and switch it
on. When using power tools with stroke rate
control, select the maximum stroke rate. Press
the power tool firmly against the workpiece and
allow the saw blade to plunge slowly into the
workpiece.
As soon as the base plate (2) rests fully on the
workpiece, continue sawing along the required
cutting line.
For particular jobs, the saw blade (1) can also be
fitted after being turned 180° in order to operate
the power tool the other way around.
Flush sawing (see figure E)
Protruding components such as water pipes, for
example, can be cut directly at the wall using
elastic bi-metal saw blades.
Ensure that the saw blade is always longer
u
than the diameter of the workpiece. There
is a risk of kickback.
Place the saw blade directly against the wall and
bend it slightly by applying lateral pressure to the
power tool until the base plate is flush with the
wall. Switch on the power tool and saw through
the workpiece applying consistent lateral pres-
sure.
Coolant/lubricant
As the material heats up along the cutting line
when cutting metal, you should apply coolant or
lubricant.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
u
u
Carefully clean the saw blade receptacle with a
soft cloth. To do so, remove the saw blade from
the power tool. Keep the saw blade receptacle
operational using suitable lubricants.
If the power tool becomes very dirty, this can
lead to serious faults. For this reason, do not cut
materials which generate large quantities of dust
from below or overhead.
English
Range of accessories
Only use original FEIN accessories. The ac-
cessories must be intended for the power tool
type.
Maintenance and After-Sales Service
Please note that power tools must only be re-
paired, serviced and tested by qualified electri-
cians. Improper repairs can pose considerable
hazards to the user.
When working metals in extreme conditions,
conductive dust can settle in the interior of the
power tool. Regularly blow out the interior of the
power tool through the ventilation openings
with dry and oil-free compressed air.
Processing gypsum-containing materials can
create dust. This can settle in the interior of the
power tool and on switching elements, and may
harden due to the humidity. This may impair the
English switching mechanism. Regularly blow out the in-
terior of the power tool through the ventilation
openings and the switching elements with dry
and oil-free compressed air.
Products that have come into contact with as-
bestos must not be brought for repair. Dispose of
products contaminated with asbestos according
to the regulations for disposing of waste contain-
ing asbestos that apply in the country of use.

To ensure safe and efficient operation, al-
ways keep the power tool and the ventila-
tion slots clean.
