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 different applications, with different accessories

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the wheel’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to
avoid the following:
Ŷ Injury caused by kickback
– Read and understand the information in this manual.
Ŷ Injury caused by dust
– Dust may enter the eyes or respiratory system. Wear eye
protection at all times. Wear appropriate dust control mask
with filters suitable for protecting against particles from the
material being cut. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work
area. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Ŷ Injury caused by electric shock
– The blade may contact hidden wiring, causing parts of the
product to become live. Always hold the product by the
designated handles and take care when blind-cutting into
walls and floors where cables may be hidden.
Ŷ Injury caused by contact with the blade
– The blades are very sharp and will become hot during use.
Wear gloves when changing blades. Keep hands away from
the cutting area at all times. Never hold workpiece being
cut in your hands or across your leg. Clamp the workpiece
20
20
whenever possible.
Ŷ Injury caused by vibration
– Limit exposure. See Risk Reduction.
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
EODQFKLQJRI WKH ¿QJHUVXVXDOO\ DSSDUHQW XSRQH[SRVXUH WR FROG
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 effects of vibration:
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
Ŷ 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.

This product is intended to be used to cut different materials.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
To reduce the risk of injury, only use Type “1” abrasive and diamond
wheels with a maximum 2.8 mm thickness, rated with a maximum
safe operating speed at least 20,000 min-1. Type “1” wheels are for
side grinding only, not surface grinding. Read all safety information
supplied with cut-off wheels.

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.
)RUEDWWHU\SDFNVWRUDJHORQJHUWKDQGD\V
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.

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 off the machine automatically. To restart,
switch the machine off 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.

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.

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).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state
