17enAn estimation of the level of exposure to vibrationshould also take into account the times when the tool isswitched off or when it is running but not actually doingthe job. This may significantly reduce the exposure levelover the total working period.Identify additional safety measures to protect the opera-tor from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tooland the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisationof work patterns.Operating Instructions.Adjust the rotation selector switch only when themachine is at a complete stop.To avoid accidental starting, e. g., during transport, setthe rotation selector switch to the centre position.When overheated, the machine runs with short, low-power impulses. Allow the machine to cool down at no-load speed.ASCT14/ASCT14M/ASCT18/ASCT18M: The screwdrivingapplications are to be carried out with mounted depthstop.ASCT14M/ASCT14UM/ASCT18M/ASCT18UM: The collatedcartridge may only be operated in “clockwise-rotationdirection” position.Setting the torque (ASCT14U/ASCT14UM/ASCT18U/ASCT18UM) (see page 7).The factory setting is for the small to mid-size screwrange.The tightening torque also depends on the force withwhich the power tool is pressed against the screw.Handling the battery.Operate and charge the battery only within the batteryoperating-temperature range of 0°C – 45°C (32°F –113°F). At the beginning of the charging procedure, thebattery temperature must be within the battery operat-ing-temperature range.The real percentage of the battery charge condition isonly indicated when the power tool motor is stopped.The electronics automatically switch off the motor priorto the battery being deep discharged.Repair and customer service.When working metal under extreme operat-ing conditions, it is possible for conductivedust to settle in the interior of the power tool.Blow out the interior of the power tool via the ventila-tion slots frequently with dry and oil-free compressed air.The current spare parts list for this power tool can befound in the Internet at www.fein.com.If required, you can change the following parts yourself:Application tools, depth stop, battery, belt clip, magazineWarranty and liability.The warranty for the product is valid in accordance withthe legal regulations in the country where it is marketed.In addition, FEIN also provides a guarantee in accordancewith the FEIN manufacturer’s warranty declaration.The delivery scope of your power tool may include onlya part of the accessories described or shown in thisInstruction Manual.Declaration of conformity.FEIN declares itself solely responsible for this productconforming with the relevant provisions given on the lastpage of this Instruction Manual.Technical documents at: C. & E.
