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.

Special safety instructions.

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.

Keep your hands well away from the saw blade. Do not 

place your hands in front of or underneath the saw blade.

Any contact with the saw blade can cause personal inju-

ries. The saw blade can become very hot during the saw-

ing process.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the 

application, use a face shield, safety goggles or safety 

glasses. Wear ear protection. 

The safety glasses must be 

capable of protecting against flying particles generated by 

the various different operations. Prolonged exposure to 

high intensity noise may cause loss of hearing.

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 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.

Before putting into operation, check the mains connection 

and the mains plug for damage.

Intended use of the power tool:

hand-guided jigsaw for commercial use for cutting metal, 

sandwich materials, plastics and wood in weather-pro-

tected environments using the application tools and 

accessories recommended by FEIN.

Operating instructions.

Guide the power tool toward the work piece only 

when switched on.

Guide the power tool uniformly and with light feed in the 

cutting direction. Excessive feed reduces the tool life of 

the application tools.

ASte638:

Stroke adjustment:

low stroke for working metal and plastics,

high stroke for working wood.

To increase the tool life of the saw blade when sawing 

metal, it is recommended to apply a lubricating agent 

alongside the intended cutting line:

– for cuts in steel sheet: Cutting oil,

– for cuts in aluminium: Petroleum.
