For your safety.

Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.

Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Do not use this power tool before you have thor-
oughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual and the enclosed “General

Safety Instructions” (document number
3 41 30 054 06 1). The documents mentioned should be
kept for later use and enclosed with the power tool,
should it be passed on or sold.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety
regulations.

Intended use of the power tool:

Hand-guided nibbler for cutting sheet metal, cut-outs and
tight curves in weather-protected environments without
water supply using the application tools and accessories
recommended by FEIN.

BLK3.5/BLK5.0:

This power tool is also suitable for use

with AC generators with sufficient power output that
correspond to the Standard ISO 8528, design type G2.
This Standard is particularly not complied with when the
so-called distortion factor exceeds 10 %. When in doubt,
please refer to the generator instruction/specification
guide.

Special safety instructions.

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.

Loss of

control can cause personal injury.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on appli-
cation, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection

must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.

Secure the work piece firmly.

A work piece that is

gripped tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more
secure than if held by hand.

Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
power tool.

If the insulation is damaged, protection

against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive
labels are recommended.

Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the power tool manufac-
turer.

Safe operation is not ensured merely because an

accessory fits your power tool.

Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regu-
lar intervals using non-metal tools.

The blower of the

motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu-
mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.

Before putting into operation, check the mains connec-
tion and the mains plug for damage.

Recommendation: The tool should always be supplied
with power via a residual current device (RCD) with a
rated current of 30 mA or less.

Hand/arm vibrations

The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a standard-
ised test given in EN 60745 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 accessories 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 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.
