For your safety. Read all safety warnings and all instructions. 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 thoroughly read and completely understood this Instruction Manual and the enclosed “General Safety Instructions” (document number 3 41 30 465 06 0). 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. Intended use of the power tool: Magnetic core drill unit for drilling with core drill bits and solid drill bits, reaming, countersinking and tapping on materials with surfaces suitable for magnets in weather-protected environments using the application tools and accessories recommended by FEIN. These appliances are not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowl- edge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Safety warnings for core drills. When performing drilling that requires the use of water, route the water away from the operator’s work area or use a collection system for liquids. Such precautionary measures keep the operator’s work area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock. Operate the power tool by the insulated gripping sur- faces when performing operations where the cutting accessory could contact hidden wires. Contact of a cut- ting accessory with a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. Wear hearing protection when drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. When the core bit is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and turn off the tool. Check the cause of the jam and apply corrective action to eliminate the cause of the jamming application tool. When restarting a core drill jammed in the workpiece, check that the core bit rotates freely before starting. If the core bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the power tool, or may cause the core drill to release from the workpiece. When securing the drill stand with a vacuum plate to the workpiece, install the vacuum plate on a smooth, clean, non-porous surface. Do not secure to laminated surfaces such as tiles and composite coating. If the workpiece is not smooth, flat or well affixed, the vac- uum plate may pull away from the workpiece. Ensure there is sufficient vacuum level before and dur- ing drilling. If the vacuum is insufficient, the plate may release from the workpiece. Never perform overhead and wall drilling with the machine secured by the vacuum plate only. If the vac- uum is lost, the vacuum plate will release from the workpiece. When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to pro- tect persons and the work area on the other side. The core bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the other side. mm mm Max. drill chuck capacity mm mm Reamer diameter mm mm Counterboring diameter kg kg Weight according to EPTA-Procedure 01

Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with water supply. Water entering the power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Special safety instructions. 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 gener- ated by the various different operations. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause loss of hear- ing. Do not touch the sharp edges of the core drill bit. Dan- ger of injury. To avoid injuries, check the core drill bits prior to start- ing the work. Use only undamaged core drill bits that are not deformed. Damaged or deformed core drill bits can cause serious injury. Before putting into operation: Mount the contact pro- tector to the machine. Always secure the power tool with with the provided safety strap. When carrying out such work, beware of falling objects, such as core bits or chips. Carry out work on vertical construction elements or overhead without use of the hand pump. Use cooling- lubricant spray for these applications. Fluids entering into the power tool create the risk of electric shock. Avoid touching the drilled core that is automatically ejected by the centering pin when the working proce- dure is finished. Contact with the core when it is hot, or if it falls, can cause personal injuries. To prevent injuries, always keep your hands, clothing, etc. away from rotating swarf. The swarf can cause inju- ries. Always use the chip guard. Do not attempt to remove the cutting tool if it still turns. This can lead to serious injuries. Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water conduits. Check the working area before commencing work, e. g. with a metal detector. Do not work with materials containing magnesium. Danger of fire. Do not work with CFRP (carbon-fiber-reinforced poly- mer) and materials containing asbestos. These materi- als are considered carcinogenic. 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 overload the power tool or the storage case and do not use it as a ladder or stand. Overloading or stand- ing on the power tool or the storage case can lead to the upward shifting of the centre of gravity of the power tool or the storage case, and its tipping over. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the power tool manu- facturer. Safe operation is not ensured merely because an accessory fits your power tool. Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at reg- ular intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu- mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard. Use and handling of the battery (battery pack). To avoid hazardous situations such as burns, fire, explosion, skin injuries, and other injuries when han- dling the battery, observe the following instructions: Batteries must not be disassembled, opened or reduced in size. Do not subject batteries to mechanical impact or shock. Hazardous vapours and fluid can escape in case of damage and improper use of the battery. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause skin irritations or burns. When battery fluid from a damaged battery has come into contact with objects close by, check the respective components, clean them or replace them as required. Keep the battery away from heat and fire. Do not store the battery in direct sunlight. Do not remove the battery from its original packaging until it is going to be used. 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. Charge the batteries only with battery chargers recom- mended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Keep the battery not being used away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. Remove the power tool's battery during transport and storage. Use only intact original FEIN batteries that are intended for your power tool. When working with and charging incorrect, damaged, repaired or reconditioned batter- ies, imitations or other brands, there is danger of fire and/or explosion. Follow the safety warnings in the operating instructions of the battery charger. Hand/arm vibrations The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a stand- ardised test given in EN 62841 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 accesso-33

ries 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 expo- sure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the oper- ator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organi- sation of work patterns. Operating Instructions. Only use water-soluble cutting fluids (oil in water) as the cooling agent. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on coolant. Pay attention that the set-up surface for the magnetic foot is flat, clean, rust-free and ice-free. Remove var- nish, putty/filler layers and other materials. Prevent an air gap between the magnetic foot and the set-up sur- face. The air gap reduces the magnetic holding power. Do not operate this machine on hot surfaces; it could lead to a permanent reduction of the magnetic holding power. When working, always use the magnetic foot; pay attention that the magnetic holding power is sufficient: – When the green button on the control panel lights up permanently, the magnetic holding power possi- bly is sufficient and the machine can be operated with normal feed. – When the Magnet button on the control panel flashes, the magnetic holding power possibly is insufficient and the machine must be operated with reduced feed. When working non-magnetic materials, suitable FEIN fastening devices, such as vacuum plates or pipe drilling devices, which are available as accessories, must be used. Observe the corresponding operating instruc- tions for these. Even when working on steel materials where the mate- rial thickness is below 9 mm, the work piece must be made thicker with an additional steel plate in order to ensure the magnetic holding power. In case of overload, the motor automatically stops and must be restarted again. Work only with the absolutely required amount of feed. Excessive feed can lead to breakage of the appli- cation tool and loss of the magnetic holding power. When the power supply is disconnected while the motor is running, a protective circuit prevents auto- matic restarting of the motor. Restart the motor again. The last set speed is automatically stored (memory func- tion). To start the power tool with the last set speed, press and hold the button with the symbol, and then press the button with the symbol. Do not stop the drill motor during the drilling proce- dure. Only remove the core bit from the drilled hole while the motor is running. If the core bit should remain stuck in the material, stop the drill motor and carefully turn the core bit out coun- ter-clockwise. Remove the chips and the drilled core after each drilling process. Do not touch the chips with your bare hand. Always use a chip hook. Danger of burning! When changing a drill bit, pay attention not to damage the cutting edges. When core drilling layered material, remove the core and the chippings after drilling each layer. Do not use the magnetic core drill unit when the cool- ing-lubricant system is defective. Each time before operating, check for tightness against leaks and for cracks in the hoses. Prevent liquids from entering or penetrating electrical components.

Handling the battery. Operate and charge the battery only within the battery operating-temperature range of 0°C – 45°C (32°F – 113°F). At the beginning of the charging procedure, the battery temperature must be within the battery operat- ing-temperature range. The real percentage of the battery charge condition is only indicated when the power tool motor is stopped. The electronics automatically switch off the motor prior to the battery being deep discharged. Repair and customer service. When working metal under extreme oper- ating conditions, it is possible for conductive dust to settle in the interior of the power tool. Blow out the interior of the power tool via the ventilation slots frequently with dry and oil-free compressed air. Renew stickers and warning indications on the power tool when aged and worn. After several hours of operation, the play in the dove- tail guide can increase. As a consequence, the drill motor can glide alongside the dove-tail guide by itself. In this case, retighten all set screws of the dove-tail guide correspondingly so that the drilling motor can easily be moved manually, yet does not glide by itself (see page 18).
