Transporting Lithium Batteries; Maintenance - AEG B16N18 Original Instructions Manual

Driving too deeply into the material, excess debris, or jammed nails
may lead to the driver mechanism being stuck at its bottom position.
The driver mechanism can usually be returned to its operating
position by depressing the work contact element against a scrap
piece of wood and squeezing the trigger.
If this does not automatically return the driver mechanism into the
tool, the tool may be jammed.
If a nail or fastener becomes jammed in the tool, remove the battery
pack and keep the tool pointed away from you while clearing the
jam.

mechanism back and free the nail jam.
■ Remove the bent nail.
■ Close the jam release and latch.
■ Reinstall nails.
■ Reinstall battery and activate the tool by pressing the worklight
grip switch.
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.

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.
