The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during
charging is between 10°C and 38°C.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely
eliminate certain residual risk factors. The operator should pay particular and
additional attention to these points in order to reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
■Injury to hearing – Wear suitable ear protection and limit exposure.
■Injury to sight – Wear protective eye shields or goggles when using the
product.

WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare
one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool.
However if the tool is used for dierent applications, with dierent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dier. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched o or when it is running but not actually doing
the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm,
organisation of work patterns.

■Injury caused by dust – Dust created by operating the product can cause
respiratory injury. Wear appropriate dust control mask with filters suitable
for protecting against particles from the material being worked on.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to
a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, 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.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a
tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The impact wrench may be used to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts for
independent use away from mains supply.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
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.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage
due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or
allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 27°C.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local,
national and international provisions and regulations.
■The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
■Commercial transport of lithium-ion batteries by third parties is subject
to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport
are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the
process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
■Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to
prevent short circuit.
■Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging.
■Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being overloaded
and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the battery electronics
switch o the machine automatically. To restart, switch the machine o and then
on again. If the machine does not start up again, the battery pack may have
discharged completely. In this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Overheated cells will reduce performance, run time and life. Overheating
can occur from battery packs being exposed to very hot environments or
from the tool they are powering being over-worked. The control electronics
will automatically shut down the battery pack to protect the cells which in
turn protects the electronics and motor within the tool. The battery pack will
automatically shut itself down again should the temperature condition remain
high when the trigger is pulled again. The system will continue to shut the
battery pack down until the temperature is returned to a safe operating level.
CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The control electronics will instantly shut down the battery back when excessive
current draw is detected - protecting both the battery cells and the motor of the
tool. Releasing the trigger will reset the battery pack each time.
INDIVIDUAL CELL MONITORING
The control electronics constantly check each individual cell and automatically
adjust its charge and discharge requirements accordingly.
This system maximises individual cell life whilst ensuring that the battery pack is
delivering peak performance to the tool at all times.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
Use only AEG accessories and AEG spare parts. Should components need to be
replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our AEG service
agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).
