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.

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.

Intended use of the power tool:

hand-guided hacksaw for commercial use for cutting 

round and other shaped work pieces of metal, plastic and 

cement in weather-protected 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.

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.
