Charge the battery only at ambient temperatures
between 0 °C and +35 °C. Charge the battery via USB
connection only at ambient temperatures between
+10 °C and +35 °C.

Charging the battery outside the

temperature range may damage the battery or increase
the risk of fire.

Handle discharged batteries with care. Batteries are a
source of danger, as they can cause a very high short-
circuit current.

Even when Li-ion batteries appear to be

in a discharged state, they never fully discharge.

Do not immerse the battery in liquids, such as (salt)
water or beverages. Contact with liquids can damage
the battery.

This may result in heat build-up, smoke

generation, ignition or explosion of the battery. Do not
continue to use the battery and contact an after-sales
service authorized by FEIN.

Do not use a damaged battery. The use of a battery
must be stopped immediately as soon as abnormal
properties, such as odour development, heat, discolour-
ation or deformation occur.

Continued operation can

cause the battery to generate heat and smoke, ignite or
explode.

Do not open, crush, overheat or set fire to the battery.

Non-observance of this warning may result in burns
and fire. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Extinguish burning Li-ion batteries with water, sand or
a fire blanket.

Avoid physical blows/impact. Impact and penetration of
objects can damage batteries.

This may result in leak-

age, heat build-up, smoke generation, ignition or explo-
sion of the battery.

Never charge the battery unattended overnight.

Fire

and explosion hazards can result in case of non-observ-
ance.

Do not remove the battery from its original packaging
until it is going to be used.

Remove the battery only when the power tool is
switched off.

Before any work on the machine itself, remove the bat-
tery from the power tool.

If the power tool accidentally

starts, there is danger of injury.

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Clean

contaminated battery terminals and power tool con-
nections with a dry, clean cloth.

Remove the battery when transporting and storing the
power tool.

Observe the safety instructions in the manuals of the
chargers from FEIN or the AMPShare partners.

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.

Guide the power tool toward the work piece
only when switched on.

While cutting, hold the power tool as upright as possi-
ble to the work-piece surface.
Guide the power tool uniformly and with light feed in
the cutting direction. Excessive feed reduces the tool
life of the application tools.
Do not cut steel sheets where welded. Do not cut lay-
ered sheets exceeding the max. work-piece thickness.

To increase the tool life of punch and die, it is recom-
mended to apply a lubricating agent alongside the
intended cutting line:

–

For cuts in steel sheet: Cutting paste or cutting oil,

–

For cuts in aluminium: Petroleum.

For inside cuts, a pilot hole is required; see “Technical
Data” for diameters.
Do not switch the power tool off until after having
removed it from the cutting path.
The symptom for worn punches and dies are a clearly
increased feed force at lower working progress.
Punch and die cannot be reground.

Charge-control Indicator on the Battery (see
page 7).

The charge condition can be indicated by the green
LEDs of the charge-control indicator on the battery.
Press the charge-control indicator button

to indicate the charge condition.
When no LED lights up after pressing the charge-con-
trol indicator button, the battery is defective and must
be replaced.

Transport.

The Li-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous
Goods Legislation requirements. The user can trans-
port the batteries by road without further require-
ments.
When being transported by third parties (e.g.: air trans-
port or forwarding agency), special requirements on
packaging and labelling must be observed. For prepara-
tion of the item being shipped, consulting an expert for
hazardous material is required.
Dispatch batteries only when the housing is undam-
aged. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the
battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in
the packaging. Please also observe possibly more
detailed national regulations.
