Quick guide from the manual

The FEIN AMM 500 PLUS AS is a high-performance oscillating multi-tool designed for sanding, sawing, scraping, and cutting. Before use, ensure the battery is fully charged and the accessory is securely mounted. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection and a dust mask.

Safety instructions

• Always hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work where the accessory might contact hidden wiring.
• Use clamps or other practical methods to secure and support the workpiece on a stable platform.
• Wear personal protective equipment, including face protection, safety goggles, dust mask, hearing protection, and protective gloves.
• Do not direct the tool against yourself, other persons, or animals.

Tool change

The tool features a tool-free clamping system. To change an accessory:

1. Ensure the tool is switched off.
2. Open the clamping lever.
3. Remove the old accessory.
4. Insert the new accessory.
5. Close the clamping lever securely.

Battery operation

The tool is compatible with 18V FEIN AMPShare Li-ion batteries. To check the charge level, press the button on the battery indicator. If no LEDs light up, the battery is defective and must be replaced.
