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.
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 grinding 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.
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 use a lubricating agent:
– for cuts in steel sheet: Cutting oil,
– for cuts in aluminium: Petroleum.
As an alternative, cutting paste can also be applied to the
cutting line.
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 ventila-
tion slots frequently with dry and oil-free compressed air.
When the power tool's power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by Fein or by an authorized Fein Service
Agent, in order to avoid hazardous situations.
