This power tool is also suitable for use with AC gener- ators with sufficient power output that correspond to the Standard ISO 8528, design type G2. This Standard is particularly not complied with when the so-called dis- tortion factor exceeds 10 %. When in doubt, please refer to the generator instruction/specification guide. Observe the operating instructions and the national regulations for the installation and operation of the AC generator. Operating the power tool off power generators whose no-load speed exceeds the voltage value on the type plate of the power tool is prohibited. 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. Foreseeable improper use. For safe operation of the product and to exclude mis- use, the following is prohibited: – Unauthorized modifications – Use not as intended for – Non-observance of the operating instructions – Transporting via cable – Use of drill bits with a diameter greater than 36 mm. – Drilling in non-magnetisable materials. – Automated industrial continuous use – Exceeding the use in accordance with local occupa- tional safety regulations – Carrying out series drilling in confined drilling loca- tions with insufficient air supply. – Covering or taping off the ventilation openings. – Fastening the magnetic core drill unit via the housing with screw clamps or similar. Safety instructions. When performing drilling that requires the use of a fluid, route the fluid away from the operator’s work area or use a fluid collection device. Such precaution- ary measures keep the operator’s work area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock. Operate the power tool by the insulated grasping sur- faces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting 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 bit is jammed, stop applying downward pres- sure and turn off the tool. Investigate and take correc- tive actions to eliminate the cause of the bit jamming. When restarting a drill in the workpiece, check that the bit rotates freely before starting. If the bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool, or may cause the drill to release from the workpiece. When securing the drill stand with anchors and fasten- ers to the workpiece, ensure that the anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining the machine durin- guse. If the workpiece is weak or porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill stand to release from the workpiece. Ensure there is sufficient vacuum before and during drilling. If the vacuum is insufficient, the pad 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 bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the other side. Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with fluid sup- ply. Fluids entering the power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Have the protective cable bushing replaced immedi- ately when damaged. A defective protective cable bushing can lead to overheating of the machine. 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 chip guard to the machine. Always secure the machine with the supplied safety strap. Especially on inclined or uneven surfaces there is risk of unsecured machines tip- ping over. When working overhead, beware of falling objects, such as cores or chips. Inspect the safety strap each time before using for damage such as cracks, cuts, nicks and breakage in the webbing, strong signs of wear and/or corrosion of the end fittings and tensioning elements, as well as a miss- ing or unreadable label. Replace the safety strap imme- diately in case of any defects. When working overhead or on vertical surfaces, the coolant container must not be used. Use a coolant spray instead. Liquids penetrating your electric power tool may cause electric shock. WARNING26

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. Operate the power tool only from grounded sockets that comply with the specifications. Do not use any connec- tion cables that are damaged; use extension cables with a grounding contact that are checked at regular intervals. A ground conductor without continuity can cause an electric shock. 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. 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. Before storage: Remove the application tool. Store the power tool only in the case or packaging. Before putting into operation, check the mains connec- tion and the mains plug for damage. Always operate the power tool with together with a PRCD personal protection switch (*).Before beginning to work, always check the proper functioning of the PRCD personal protection switch (*) (see page 27). Vibration and noise emission values The vibration and noise emission values given in these instructions have been measured according to a meas- urement method standardised in EN 62841 and can be used to compare power tools with each other. They are also suitable for a preliminary assessment of vibration and noise exposure. The given vibration and noise emission values rep- resent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applica- tions, with deviating application tools or insufficient maintenance, the overall vibration values and the noise emission values may differ. This can significantly increase the vibration and noise exposure over the total working period. For an accurate estimation of vibration and noise expo- sure, the durations when the equipment is switched off or running but not actually in use should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce the vibration and noise exposure over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise such as: Maintain the power tool and the accesso- ries, keep the hands warm, organization 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. Drilling process

1. Position the machine on the set-up surface.

2. Switch the magnet on.

3. Secure the machine with a safety strap.

4. Start the drilling operation.

If the machine is placed on the set-up surface with the magnet already switched on, an error is recognised and the motor cannot be started. In this case, the machine must be disconnected from the power supply. Procedure for jammed application tools

1. Switch the machine off.

2. Disconnect the machine from power supply.

3. Remove chips/swarf with the chip hook.

4. Allow the application tool to cool down.

5. Loosen and remove the jammed application tool

using e.g. suitable pliers. Only undamaged application tools may be used for fur- ther operation. 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 may be sufficient and the machine can be operated with normal feed.27

– 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. When working on steel materials with a material thick- ness of less than 12 mm, the workpiece must be rein- forced with an additional steel plate in order to guarantee the magnetic holding power. The magnetic foot is monitored by means of a power sensor. If the magnetic foot is defective, the motor will not start. 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 hands. Always use a chip hook (6 42 98 160 40 0). Danger of burning! The surface of the magnet can reach high temperatures. Do not touch the magnet with your bare hands. 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. When readjusting the drill spindle for tapping, use only the supplied T-handle spanner or Allen key. Do not use the magnetic core drill unit when the cool- ing-lubricant system is defective. Each time before oper- ating, check for tightness against leaks and for cracks in the hoses. Prevent liquids from entering or penetrating electrical components. PRCD personal protection switch (*) (see page 8) The PRCD personal protection switch is specifically intended for your protection. Do not use the PRCD personal protection switch for switching the product on and off. If the personal protection switch is damaged, e.g. due to contact with water, do not use it any more.
