Operating Instructions.

Changing the tool (see page 5)

Do not use accessories not specifically intended and
recommended for this power tool by FEIN.

The use of

non-original FEIN accessories can lead to overheating
of the power tool and destroy it.

When changing application tools with sharp cut-
ting edges, use cover 3 21 74 011 00 0 to protect
yourself against hand injuries.

Firmly press in the fastening element to the stop.
Then lock the clamping lever.

Protect your hand and fingers against bruising
when locking the clamping lever.

The clamping

lever snaps back vigorously by means of spring
force.

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.

The real percentage of the battery charge condition is
only indicated when the power tool motor is stopped.
The electronics automatically switch off the motor
prior to the battery being deep discharged.

Additional operating instructions.

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

The self-start prevention lock prevents the power tool
from automatically starting when the battery is inserted
while the on/off switch is set to on.
Before using, sharpen used and even new cutter blades
with the cleaning block.

The symptom for worn blades is a clearly increased
feed force at lower working progress.
The application tool can be offset in 30° steps and fas-
tened in the most favourable working position.
Guide straight, bent or offset cutter blades at a right
angle to the window flange (see page 7-8, Cutter blades
A – D).
For U-shaped cutter blades, pay attention that the
traverse of the cutter blade is led parallel to the window
pane of the vehicle (see page 8, Cutter blades E – F).
The scraper knife is used for cutting back bond remain-
ders on the window flange or the pane. Before re-
bonding the vehicle window, cut back the remaining
bead to a height of approx. 2 mm (see page 8, Cutter
blades G).

Repair and customer service.

When working metal under extreme oper-
ating conditions, it is possible for conductive
dust to settle in the interior of the power

tool. Blow out the interior of the power tool via the
ventilation slots frequently with dry and oil-free com-
pressed air.
For storage of the power tool, remove the application
tool, shut the clamping lever, and then press in the fas-
tening element.
Products that have come into contact with asbestos
may not be sent in for repair. Dispose of products con-
taminated with asbestos according to the applicable
country-specific regulations for such disposal.
