The product is not waterproof. Do not submerge in liquid. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Switch the product off 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 floor, 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. Take them to an appropriate disposal/collection site.
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.
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:
■ Risk of electrocution if electric cables are drilled into
● Always grasp the product by designated handles; do not
touch the drill bits.
■ Damage to the respiratory system
● Wear respiratory protection masks containing filters
appropriate to the materials being worked.
● Ensure adequate workplace ventilation.
● Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
■ Damage to hearing
● Always wear effective hearing protection and limit exposure
to noise.
■ Damage to eyes from flying dust and debris particles
● Always wear suitable eye protection.
■ Injury caused by vibration
● Hold the product by designated handles; limit exposure to
vibration. See “risk reduction”.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld products 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 effects 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 product. When using any product for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The cordless right angle drill is intended for drilling into various
materials, including wood, metal, and plastics using a drill bit having
a shank diameter of less than 10 mm. The product can be used to
drive and remove screws and bolts using an appropriate bit.
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.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your product,
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.
