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 work-
shop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating par-
ticles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity 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.

Intended Use

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 Würth.
For damage caused by usage other than intended, the
user is responsible.
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.

Safety Notes

 Do not use accessories which are not spe-
cifically designed and recommended by
the power tool manufacturer. Safe opera-
tion 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.
 Recommendation: The tool should
always be supplied with power via a
residual current device (RCD) with a rated
current of 30 mA or less.

Additional safety warnings

The machine must not be damp
and must also not be operated in
damp suroundings.
 Use only original Würth accessories.
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.
Punch and die cannot be reground.
For cutting deep-channel trapezoidal sheet metal, the
optionally available profile set 160 can be mounted.
