Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. 

 The motor’s fan 

will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accu-

mulation of powdered metal may cause electrical haz-

ards.

Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

Do not jam the diamond wheel or apply excessive pressure. 

Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. 

Over-

stressing the diamond wheel increases the loading and 

susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the 

cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

Do not position your body in front and behind the rotating 

diamond wheel.

 When moving the diamond wheel in the 

work piece away from yourself, the possible kickback 

may propel the power tool with the spinning wheel 

directly at you.

If the diamond wheel should become jammed or when inter-

rupting work, switch the power tool off and hold it motion-

less until the wheel has come to a complete stop. Never 

attempt to remove a still running diamond wheel from the 

cut, otherwise kickback may occur. 

Determine and cor-

rect the cause for the jamming.

Do not switch the power tool on again as long as the wheel 

is still in the work piece. Allow the diamond wheel to reach 

its full speed first before carefully continuing with the cut.

Otherwise the wheel can bind, be forced out of the work 

piece or cause kickback.

Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing 

walls or other blind areas.

 The protruding diamond wheel 

may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects 

that can cause kickback.

Make sure that the application tools are mounted in accord-

ance with the manufacturers instructions. The mounted 

application tools must be able to rotate freely.

 Incorrectly 

mounted application tools can become loose during 

operation and be thrown from the machine.

Handle diamond wheels carefully and store them according 

to the manufacturer’s instructions. 

Damaged diamond 

wheels can develop cracks and burst during operation.

Do not machine any material containing asbestos.

 Asbestos 

is cancerogenic.

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

duits;

 check the working area with a metal detector, for 

example, before commencing work.

Use a dust extraction system, blow out ventilation slots fre-

quently and connect a residual current device (RCD) on the 

line side. 

When working metal under extreme operating 

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.

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.

Always work using the auxiliary handle. 

The auxiliary han-

dle ensures reliable guidance of the power tool.

Check the diamond wheel before using. 

Use only undam-

aged diamond wheels.

The mounted diamond wheel must be able to rotate freely.

Carry out a test run for at least 30 seconds with the new 

diamond wheel. Use only true-running diamond wheels.

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.

Operating instructions.

Before switching on, check the proper operation of the 

wheel guard. Set the wheel guard to the completely open 

position and then release it. The wheel guard must auto-

matically return to the completely closed position.

Use the construction cutter only with the cover sheet 

mounted. (see page 4)

When working, pay attention that an operative vacuum 

cleaner is connected. For optimal dust extraction, carry 

out a separating cut in clockwise direction.

Press the locking button only when the motor is 

stopped. (see page 4)

The self-start prevention lock prevents the power tool 

from automatically restarting again, even after a brief 

interruption of the power supply, e. g., from a pulled 

mains plug. Switch the power tool off and then on again.

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:

Application tools, Auxiliary handle.
