Do not short-circuit the battery. 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.
The battery can be damaged by sharp objects such as
nails or screwdrivers or by external force. An internal
short-circuit may occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
Never maintain damaged batteries. Any maintenance of
batteries should be performed only by the manufac-
turer or by authorised after-sales service centers.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, debris, water,
and moisture. Danger of explosion and short-
circuiting.
Operate and store the battery only at ambient tempera-
tures between -20 °C and +50 °C. As an example, do not
leave the battery in a vehicle in summer. At tempera-
tures < 0 °C, machine-specific performance restrictions
are possible.
Charge the battery only at ambient temperatures
between 0 °C and +35 °C. Charge the battery via USB
connection only at ambient temperatures between
+10 °C and +35 °C. Charging the battery outside the
temperature range may damage the battery or increase
the risk of fire.
Handle discharged batteries with care. Batteries are a
source of danger, as they can cause a very high short-
circuit current. Even when Li-ion batteries appear to be
in a discharged state, they never fully discharge.
Do not immerse the battery in liquids, such as (salt)
water or beverages. Contact with liquids can damage
the battery. This may result in heat build-up, smoke
generation, ignition or explosion of the battery. Do not
continue to use the battery and contact an after-sales
service authorized by FEIN.
Do not use a damaged battery. The use of a battery
must be stopped immediately as soon as abnormal
properties, such as odour development, heat, discolour-
ation or deformation occur. Continued operation can
cause the battery to generate heat and smoke, ignite or
explode.
Do not open, crush, overheat or set fire to the battery.
Non-observance of this warning may result in burns
and fire. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Extinguish burning Li-ion batteries with water, sand or
a fire blanket.
Avoid physical blows/impact. Impact and penetration of
objects can damage batteries. This may result in leak-
age, heat build-up, smoke generation, ignition or explo-
sion of the battery.
Never charge the battery unattended overnight. Fire
and explosion hazards can result in case of non-observ-
ance.
Do not remove the battery from its original packaging
until it is going to be used.
Remove the battery only when the power tool is
switched off.
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.
Protect the battery against moisture and water. Clean
contaminated battery terminals and power tool con-
nections with a dry, clean cloth.
Remove the battery when transporting and storing the
power tool.
Observe the safety instructions in the manuals of the
chargers from FEIN or the AMPShare partners.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where
material is removed, dusts develop that can be hazard-
ous 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 parti-
cles 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 pro-
vide for good ventilation of the workplace. Leave the
processing of asbestos-containing materials to special-
ists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding
dust and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfa-
vourable 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 instruc-
tions, as well as the relevant 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 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-
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.
