WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for di󰀨erent
applications, used with di󰀨erent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may di󰀨er. These conditions may
signicantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned o󰀨 or when it is
running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the e󰀨ects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organising work patterns.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
RATCHET WRENCH SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory or
fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between
0°C and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and
40°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging
system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the product. The use of protective clothing is
recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-
slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this product may be harmful to
health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection
mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g.
asbestos).

into the light beam yourself (not even from a distance). Staring into
the light beam may result in serious injury or vision loss.
The product is not waterproof. Do not submerge in liquid. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Switch the product o󰀨 immediately if the accessory stalls! Do
not switch the device on again while the accessory is stalled, as
doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the accessory stalled and rectify this, paying heed
to the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
■it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
■it has pierced through the material to be machined
■the power product is overloaded
Do not reach into the product while it is running. The accessory
may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
■when changing products
■when setting the device down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the product is
running.
When working in walls ceiling, or oor, take care to avoid electric
cables and gas or waterpipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
Remove battery pack before storing or transporting the product.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. AEG Distributors o󰀨er to retrieve old batteries to
protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System AEG chargers for charging System AEG battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it o󰀨 immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of re, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool,
battery pack or charger in uid or allow a uid to ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. AEG Distributors o󰀨er to retrieve old batteries to

it o󰀨 immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING
Switch the device o󰀨 immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do not
switch the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as
doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying
heed to the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
●It is tilted in the work piece to be machined
●It has pierced through the material to be machined
●The power tool is overloaded
RESIDUAL RISKS

to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to
avoid the following:
■ Injury caused by vibration
●Hold the product by designated handles and restrict
working time and exposure.
■ Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury
●Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
■ Injury due to flying debris
●Wear eye protection, heavy long trousers, gloves and
substantial footwear at all times.

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking,
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the e󰀨ects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these
symptoms.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The cordless ratchet wrench is intended to be used only by adults
who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in
this manual, and can be considered responsible for their actions.
The product is intended for fastening and removing screws and
bolts using an impact socket.
Do not use the product for any other purpose not described above.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance
of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine
(risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
