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 instruction
for future reference.
RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended
to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Always use the protective shields on the machine.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades.
Plunge cuts without pre-drilling a hole are possible with soft
materials (wood, light building materials for walls). Harder materials
(metals) must rst be drilled with a hole corresponding to the size of
the saw blade.
Always place the guide shoe on the workpiece when sawing.
When working in walls, ceiling, or oor, take care to avoid electric
cables and gas or water pipes.
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 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
TECHNICAL DATA A18RS
Type Cordless reciprocating saw
Rated voltage 18 V
Stroke rate under no-load 0-3000 min-1
Length of stroke 28.5 mm
Weight without battery pack 2.3 kg
Noise Information
Measured values determined according to EN 62841. Typically, the A-weighted noise
levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level (Uncertainty K=5dB(A))
Sound power level (Uncertainty K=5dB(A))
Wear ear protection!
LpA = 84.5 dB (A)
LWA = 95.5 dB (A)
Vibration Information
Vibration total values (triaxial vector sum) determined according to EN 62841.
Cutting board, ah,B (Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s2)
Cutting wooden beam, ah ,WB (Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s2)ah,B = 15.0 m/s2 ah,WB = 16.1 m/s2
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 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 (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.

chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
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.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
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.
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
20°C.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The reciprocating saw is intended to cut wood, plastics, and metal.
The product can cut straight lines, curves, and internal cut-outs. The
product cuts pipes and can cut ush to a surface.
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.
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.
