Intended use of the power tool:
ABLS (**): Hand-guided sheet metal shears for cutting
sheet metal in weather-protected environments with-
out water supply using the application tools and acces-
sories recommended by Fein.
ABSS (**): Hand-guided slitting shears for cutting sheet
metal and tight curves in weather-protected environ-
ments without water supply using the application tools
and accessories recommended by Fein.
Special safety instructions.
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.
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. Adhesive
labels are recommended.
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.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other per-
sons or animals. Danger of injury from sharp or hot
application tools.
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.
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-
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.
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 (ABLS (**)).
Guide the power tool uniformly and with light feed in
the cutting direction. Excessive feed reduces the tool
life of the application tools.
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 the blades, 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.
Do not switch the power tool off until after having
removed it from the cutting path.
The symptom for worn blades is a clearly increased
feed force at lower working progress.
ABSS (**): For inside cuts, a pilot hole is required; see
"Technical Data".
Blades and cutting bars cannot be reground.
