Maintenance - AEG BBH 18 Original Instructions Manual

BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5
chargings and dischargings. 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.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit
situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for
about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool will
turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel
gauge will fl ash until the battery pack cooled down. After the
lights go off, the work may continue.

MAINTENANCE

The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all
times.
Important note! If the carbon brushes are worn, in addition to
exchanging the brushes the tool should be sent to after-sales
service. This will ensure long service life and top performance.
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 the Article No. as well as the machine type printed on the
label and order the drawing at your local service agents or
directly at: AEG Electric Tools GmbH, Max-Eyth-Straße 10,
