For your safety.

Read all safety warnings and

all instructions. Failure to fol-

low 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 thoroughly read and completely

understood this Instruction Manual, including

the figures, specifications, safety regulations

and the signs indicating DANGER, WARN-

ING and CAUTION.

Only carry out such operations with this

power tool as intended for by FEIN. Only use

application tools and accessories that have

been released by FEIN.

Please also observe the relevant national

industrial safety regulations.

Non-observance of the safety instructions in

the said documentation can lead to an electric

shock, burns and/or severe injuries.

This Instruction Manual should be kept for

later use and enclosed with the power tool,

should it be passed on or sold.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers

to your mains-operated (corded) power tool

or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

General Power Tool Safety

Warnings.

1) Work area safety

a)Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-

tered or dark areas invite accidents.

b)Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool. Distrac-

tion can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a)Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce

risk of electric shock.

b)Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-

tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric

shock.

d)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging

the power tool. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for out-

door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-

door use reduces the risk of electric

shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca-

tion is unavoidable, use a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected sup-

ply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when operating

a power tool. Do not use a power tool

while you are tired or under the influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

b)Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-

tection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

WARNING

4en

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or bat-

tery pack, picking up or carrying the

tool. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or energising

power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-

ing part of the power tool may result in

personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-

ing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can

be caught in moving parts.

g)If devices are provided for the connec-

tion of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected

and properly used. Use of dust collec-

tion can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a)Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-

rect power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job bet-

ter and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

b)Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjust-

ments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the

power tool accidentally.

d)Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfa-

miliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-

alignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condi-

tion that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous sit-

uation.

5) Service

a)Have your power tool serviced by a qual-

ified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power tool is main-

tained.

Special safety instructions.

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the

tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-

ing on application, use a face shield, safety

goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,

wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves

and workshop apron capable of stopping

small abrasive or work piece 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 oper-

ation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity

noise may cause hearing loss.

Secure the work piece firmly. A work piece

that is gripped tightly in a clamping device or

vice, is more secure than if held by hand.

5

en

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 recom-

mended.

Do not use accessories which are not specifi-

cally designed and recommended by the

power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is

not ensured merely because an accessory fits

your power tool.

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

power connection and the power plug for

damage.

Recommendation: The tool should always be

supplied with power via a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) with a rated current of

30 mA or less.

Hand/arm vibrations.

While working with this power

tool, hand/arm vibrations

occur. These can lead to health impairments.

The vibration emission value

during actual use of the power

tool can differ from the declared value

depending on the ways in which the tool is

used.

It is necessary to identify safety

measures to protect the oper-

ator that are based on an estimation of expo-

sure in the actual conditions of use.

The vibration emission level given in this

information sheet has been measured in

accordance with a standardized test given in

EN 62841 and may be used to compare one

tool with another. It may be used for a pre-

liminary assessment of the vibrational impact.

The declared vibration emission level repre-

sents the main applications of the power tool.

However, if the power tool is used for other

applications with different accessories or

poorly maintained, the vibration emission

may differ. This may significantly increase the

vibrational impact 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 vibrational

load over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect

the operator from the effects of vibration

such as: Maintain the power tool and the

accessories, keep the hands warm, organiza-

tion of work patterns.

Working instructions.

Before mounting or replacing cutting tool or accessories, pull the power plug.

This preventive safety measure rules out the danger of injuries through acciden-

tal starting of the power tool.

For each job, use only the FEIN application tool released and intended for the respective

application.

Switching on and off.

Check the power supply cable

and the plug for damage.

Always hold the power tool

firmly. Otherwise, you could

lose control over the power tool.

Guide the power tool toward the work

piece only when switched on.

Do not cut steel sheets where welded. Do

not cut layered sheets exceeding the max.

work-piece thickness.

To increase the tool life of punch and die, it is

recommended to apply a lubricating agent

alongside the intended cutting line:

–For cuts in steel sheet: Use cutting paste or

cutting oil.

–For cuts in aluminum: Use petroleum.

For inside cuts, a pilot hole is required; see

Technical data for diameters.

Do not switch the power tool off until after

having removed it from the cutting path.

While cutting, hold the power tool as

upright as possible to the work-piece

surface.

Guide the power tool uniformly and with

light feed in the cutting direction. Excessive

feed considerably reduces the tool life of the

application tools.

together.

BLK1.3TE (**)/BLK1.3CSE (**)/BLK1.6E (**)/

BLK1.6LE (**): Punch and die cannot be

reground.

BLK2.0E (**): The punch – not the die – can

be reground as long as the length of the

reground punch does not fall below the

minimum die length.

BLK2.0E (**): For template cuts, the template

is traced via the lower cylindrical part of the

punch guide. The clearance between

template and the actual cutting edge is

0.0984 in (2.5 mm).

The template should be at least 0.0787 in

(2 mm) thick; the total thickness of template

and work piece may not exceed 0.2165 in

(5.5 mm).
