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 different
applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may
signicantly 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 off or when it is
running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organising work patterns.
DISCLAIMER - Techtronic
Exposure to silica and other dust conditions can be a health risk. Organisations have legal responsibilities to protect the health of their

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications 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.
MULTI-TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the fastener 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
Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces
can cause severe injury and damage.
Dust created by operating the product can cause respiratory
injury. Wear appropriate respiratory masks with lters suitable for
protecting against particles from the material being worked on.
Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, drink, or smoke
in the work area.
Damage to eyes from ying dust and debris particles. Always wear
suitable eye protection.
Do not switch on the product again after it has stalled. Switching it
on again can cause a kickback with high reaction force. Determine
why the product has stalled and rectify it, paying heed to the safety
instructions. If necessary, remove the insertion tool.
Always wear goggles when using the product. It is recommended
to wear gloves, sturdy non-slipping shoes, and apron.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the product is
running.
Always use the protective shields on the product.
When working in walls, ceilings, or oors, take care to avoid electric
cables and gas or water pipes.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
Do not switch on the product again after it has stalled. Switching it
on again can cause a kickback with high reaction force. Determine
why the product has stalled and rectify it, paying heed to the safety
instructions.
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 the tool,
battery pack, or charger in uid or allow 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 offer 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 off 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).
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING
Switch the device off 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
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.
• Injury caused by vibration – Hold the tool by the designated
handles and limit exposure to vibration. See “RISK
REDUCTION”.
• Electric shock after contact with hidden wires – Hold the
product only by insulated surfaces.
• Respiratory injury – Dust created by operating the product,
wear suitable protection dependent on type of dust.
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 effects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the
product 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.

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).

For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged
after use.
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.
