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: Hand-guided nibbler for cutting sheet metal, cut-outs and tight curves in weather-protected environments without water supply using the application tools and accessories recommended by FEIN. 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. Special safety instructions. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop- ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or res- pirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high inten- sity noise may cause hearing loss. The application tools are sharp. Never place your hand near the application tools. Touching application tools can lead to injuries.

When working at height, secure the work area and the area below it from falling chips and the power tool itself. Falling objects can lead to injuries. 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. 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 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 putting into operation, check the mains connec- tion and the mains plug for damage. Recommendation: The tool should always be supplied with power via a residual current device (RCD) with a rated current of 30 mA or less. 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. Guide the power tool toward the work piece only when switched on. While cutting, hold the power tool as upright as possi- ble to the work-piece surface. Guide the power tool uniformly and with light feed in the cutting direction. Excessive feed reduces the tool life of the application tools. Operate the power tool in continuous operation only at the highest stroke rate setting (6) (see page 6). The stroke rate settings (1 ... 5) are to be used only for brief cuts where, for example, exact cutting along a cut- ting line is required. This applies in particular to work with materials with the maximum possible material thickness. Do not cut steel sheets where welded. Do not cut lay- ered sheets exceeding the max. work-piece thickness. To increase the tool life of punch and die, it is recom- mended to apply a lubricating agent alongside the intended cutting line: – For cuts in steel sheet: Cutting paste or cutting oil, – For cuts in aluminium: 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. The symptom for worn punches and dies are a clearly increased feed force at lower working progress. 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. BLK3.5E (**): 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 2.5 mm. The template should be at least 2 mm thick; the total thickness of template and work piece may not exceed

Features The restarting protection prevents the power tool from automatically restarting if the power supply is inter- rupted during operation. In this case, switch off the power tool, check the power supply and then switch the power tool on again. The electronic stroke rate preselection enables the speed to be adapted to the respective application and the respective application tool. The power tool is fitted with overload and blocking protection. In case of overload or blocking of the appli- cation tool, the power supply is interrupted. In this case, switch the power tool off, remove it from the workpiece and check the application tool. Afterwards, switch the power tool on again.

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. The total insulation of the power tool can be impaired. Blow out the interior of the power tool via the ventilation slots frequently with dry and oil-free compressed air, and connect a residual current device (RCD) on the line side. Lightly grease the sliding surfaces between die holder and punch. Products that have come into contact with asbestos may not be sent in for repair. Dispose of products con- taminated with asbestos according to the applicable country-specific regulations for such disposal. When the machine's power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or their repre- sentative. If required, you can change the following parts your- self: Application tools Warranty and liability.
