For your safety.

Do not use this power tool before you have thor-
oughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual and the enclosed "General
Safety Instructions" (document number
3 41 30 054 06 1). 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.
Special safety instructions.
Use the auxiliary handles supplied with the power tool. A
loss of control over the power tool can cause personal
injuries.
Wear protective gloves. Use the power tool only with the
hand guard mounted. Hot and sharp chips/swarf can lead
to injuries.
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 generated by
the various different operations. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause loss of hearing.
Secure the workpiece 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 manufacturer. Safe
operation is not ensured merely because an accessory fits
your power tool.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regular
intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the motor
draws dust into the housing. An excessive accumulation
of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Before putting into operation, check the mains connection
and the mains plug for damage.
Intended use of the power tool:
hand-guided sheet metal shear for commercial use for
cutting sheet metal in weather-protected environments
using the application tools and accessories recommended
by FEIN.

Operating instructions.

Guide the power tool toward the work piece only
when switched on.
While cutting, hold the power tool as upright as possible
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.
Do not cut steel sheets where welded. Do not cut lay-
ered sheets exceeding the max. work-piece thickness.
16
To increase the tool life of the blades, it is recommended
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.
BLS 1.6 X/BLS 2.5/BLS 3.5: The blades cannot be
reground and must always be replaced in pairs.
BLS 4.2: The table blade can be reground; check the cut-
ting angle with the grinding gauge provided.
Check the cutting slit; excessive feed leads to an overly
narrow slit; heavy burrs will result from a too wide slit.
BLS 3.5/BLS 4.2: The self-start prevention lock prevents
the power tool from automatically restarting again, even
after a brief interruption of the power supply, e. g., from
a pulled mains plug. Switch the power tool off and then
on again.
Repair and customer service.
Blow out the interior of the power tool at
regular intervals from outside through the air
vents with dry, compressed air.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged it must
be replaced by a specially prepared cord available
through the FEIN customer service centre.
If required, you can change the following parts yourself:
