Fein AFSC 18 - Manual (Page 16)

Before any work on the machine itself, remove the bat-
tery from the power tool. If the power tool accidentally
starts, there is danger of injury.
Remove the battery only when the power tool is switched
off.
Keep the battery away from children.
Keep the battery clean and protect it against moisture
and water. Clean contaminated battery terminals and
power tool connections with a dry, clean cloth.
Use only intact original FEIN batteries that are intended
for your power tool. When working with and charging
incorrect, damaged, repaired or reconditioned batteries,
imitations or other brands, there is danger of fire and/or
explosion.
Follow the safety warnings in the operating instructions
of the battery charger.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where mate-
rial is removed, dusts develop that can be hazardous to
one’s health.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-
ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate particles
from materials containing stone, paint solvents, wood
preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can trigger
allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/or
lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. The risk from inhaling dusts
depends on the exposition. Use dust extraction matched
appropriately for the developing dust, as well as personal
protective equipment and provide for good ventilation of
the workplace. Leave the processing of asbestos-contain-
ing materials to specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of sanding dust
and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfavourable
conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid sparking in the
direction of the dust collector as well as overheating of
the power tool and the materials being sanded, empty the
dust collector/container in time, observe the material
manufacturer’s working instructions, as well as the rele-
vant regulations in your country for the materials being
worked.
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.
Changing the tool (see page 5)
Do not use accessories not specifically intended and rec-
ommended for this power tool by FEIN. The use of non-
original FEIN accessories can lead to overheating of the
power tool and destroy it.
When changing application tools with sharp cutting
edges, use cover 3 21 74 011 00 0 to protect your-
self against hand injuries.
Firmly press in the fastening element to the stop.
Then lock the clamping lever.
Protect your hand and fingers against bruising them
when locking the clamping lever. The clamping lever
snaps back vigorously by means of spring force.
Handling the battery.
Charge batteries only in ambient temperatures between
0 °C and 40 °C. At the beginning of the charging proce-
dure, the battery temperature may not exceed 45 °C.
The battery capacity indication displays the true value
only when the motor is stopped.
The electronics automatically switch off the motor prior
to the battery being deep discharged.
To counteract against service-life reduction and maintain
the optimal capacity of your battery:
– Charge new batteries before using
– Do not continue to press the power tool’s On/Off
switch when the automatic motor shut-off responds
– Charge batteries fully before storing them.
