Operating Instructions.
Do not use accessories not specifically intended and
recommended for this power tool by FEIN. The use of
non-original FEIN accessories can lead to overheating
of the power tool and destroy it.
Possible overloading of the vibration damping
with especially heavy accessories!
When using the large round sanding plate
(No. 63806195210, Ø115 mm) or the cleaning kit for tile
joints (No. 63719011220), the damping system can be
subject to overload due to the heavy weight of the
accessories. This becomes apparent through unpleas-
ant and very intense vibration of the machine.
Corrective action: Reduce the speed of the machine to
electronic level 2.
Due to the then possibly reduced working progress, the
machine is only suitable to a limited extent for above
mentioned accessories.
Guide the power tool toward the work piece only
when switched on.
The application tool can be offset in 30° steps and fas-
tened in the most favourable working position.
Changing the tool (AFMT12(SL)) (see page 5).
Screw the clamping bolt in to the stop.
Changing the tool (AFMT12Q(SL))
(see pages 6/7).
Do not switch the power tool on while the clamp-
ing lever is open. Otherwise there is danger of
crushes or contusions to the hand and fingers.
Do not actuate the clamping lever while the power
tool is running. Otherwise there is danger of
injury.
Do not reach into the area of the clamping jaws.
Otherwise there is danger of crushes or contu-
sions to the fingers.
Do not operate the power tool with with open
clamping jaws and without an application tool!
This could damage the power tool.
When the clamping jaws are open before the
application tool is inserted, pivot the clamping
lever toward the front and then back again. The
clamping jaws are closed now. The application
tool can be inserted.
Handling the battery.
Store, operate and charge the battery only using FEIN
battery chargers within the battery operating-tempera-
ture range between 5 °C – 45 °C (41 °F – 113 °F). At
the beginning of the charging procedure, the battery
temperature must be within the battery operating-tem-
perature range.

The real percentage of the battery charge condition is
only indicated when the power tool motor is stopped.
The electronics automatically switch off the motor
prior to the battery being deep discharged.
Notes on sanding.
Press the power tool with the sanding sheet briefly and
firmly against a flat surface and briefly switch the power
tool on. This provides for good adhesion and prevents
premature wear.
When only one tip or corner of the sanding sheet is
worn, it can be removed again and reattached turned by
120°.
Work with the entire surface of the sanding plate, not
only with the edge or tip.
When sanding with small triangle sanding plates, select
a high oscillating frequency (electronics level 4 – 6);
when sanding with the round sanding plate and the
large triangle sanding plate, select a moderate oscillating
frequency (max. electronics level 4).
Sand with continuous motion applying moderate pres-
sure. Applying excessive pressure does not increase the
rate of removal, it only wears off the sanding sheet
faster.
Notes on sawing.
Select a high oscillating frequency. Round saw blades
can be released and clamped offset again, to allow for
uniform wearing off.
Notes on scraping.
Select a moderate to high oscillating frequency.

tool. Blow out the interior of the power tool via the
ventilation slots frequently with dry and oil-free com-
pressed air.
When working gypsum-containing materials, dust can
settle within the power tool and switch element, which
can harden in connection with humidity. This can
impair the switching mechanism. Blow out the interior
of the power tool via the ventilation slots and the
switch element frequently with dry and oil-free com-
pressed air.
For storage of the power tool, remove the application
