mended by FEIN.
This power tool is also suitable for use with AC genera-
tors with sufficient power output that correspond to the 
Standard ISO 8528, design type G2. This Standard is par-
ticularly not complied with when the so-called distortion 
factor exceeds 10 %. When in doubt, please refer to the

Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, 
Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off Operations

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, 
sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety warn-
ings, instructions, illustrations and specifications pro-
vided with this power tool. 

Failure to follow all 

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

Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be 
performed with this power tool. 

Operations for which the 

power tool was not designed may create a hazard and 
cause personal injury.

Do not use accessories which are not specifically 
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. 

Just because the accessory can be attached to your power 
tool, it does not assure safe operation.

The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal 
to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. 

Acces-

sories running faster than their rated speed can break and 
fly apart.

The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory 
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. 

Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately 
guarded or controlled.

Threaded mounting of accessories must match the 
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by 
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the 
locating diameter of the flange. 

Accessories that do not 

match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run 
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of 
control.

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect 
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and 
cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire 
brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undam-
aged accessory. After inspecting and installing an 
accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from 
the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power 
tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. 

Damaged 

accessories will normally break apart during this testtime.

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.
