en For your safety.

Read all safety warnings and all instruc-

tions. 

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 tapper for cutting threads in through holes 

and blind holes in weather-protected environments 

without water supply using the application tools and 

accessories recommended by FEIN.

This machine is also intended to be powered by a.c. gen-

erators with sufficient power output that correspond 

with ISO 8528, design class G2. Compliance with this 

Standard in particular is not given when the so-called dis-

tortion factor exceeds 10%. When in doubt, inform 

yourself about the generator in use.

Special safety instructions.

Apply the power tool to the work piece only in switched-off 

condition.

 Rotating application tools can slip off and lead 

to injuries.

Use auxiliary handles provided with the machine.

 Loss of 

control can lead to injury.

Secure the workpiece firmly.

 A work piece that is gripped 

tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more secure than if 

held by hand.

Do not machine any material containing asbestos.

 Asbestos 

is cancerogenic.

Hold the power tool firmly.

 High reaction torque can 

briefly occur.

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 tool manufacturer.

 Just because 

the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does 

not assure safe operation.

Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regular 

intervals using non-metal tools.

 The blower of the motor 

draws dust into the housing. An excessive accumulation 

of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.

Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water con-

duits;

 check the working area with a metal detector, for 

example, before commencing work.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when per-

forming an operation where the cutting accessory may con-

tact hidden wiring or its own cord.

 Cutting accessory 

contacting a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of 

the power tool ‘“live” and shock the operator.

Before putting into operation, check the mains connection 

and the mains plug for damage.

Recommendation: Always operate the power tool via a 

residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual 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.

Operating instructions.

Degrease the output spindle and the inside cone of the 

application tool before mounting.

In no-load, the application tool rotates anticlockwise; 

when applying pressure, the rotation direction switches 

to clockwise, and when pulling back, it switches to anti-

clockwise again.

For stationary use in a drill stand, remove the switched 

off power tool from the drill stand every 50 operating 

hours while at normal running temperature. Then, turn 

the machine around by 180° and run it for approx. 

1 minute to achieve uniform lubrication.

Repair and customer service.

When working metal under extreme operat-

ing conditions, it is possible for conductive 

dust to settle in the interior of the power 

tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be 

impaired. Blow out the interior of the power tool via the 

ventilation slots frequently with dry and oil-free com-

pressed air, and connect a residual current device (RCD) 

on the line side.

If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged it must 

be replaced by a specially prepared cord available 

through the FEIN customer service centre.

If required, you can change the following parts yourself:

Clamping chuck, Application tools
