    The author derives \(F\)-rotations which leave Finslerian metric functions invariant. He explains how the metric \(F\)-rotations operate over a tangent bundle cut into several temporal, spatial and isotropic sectors. After that, he derives in detail the explicit \(F\)-rotations in the distinguished sectors. A transparent explicit form of \(F\)-rotations is established, the proper spatial rotations and the boosts are retained as linear operations. The invariant metric tensors, fundamental frame fields and convenient forms for extended Lorentz transformations are also found.
