WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 50636-2-100 Annex BB 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 diff erent
applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING Read these instructions carefully, be
familiar with the controls and the proper use of the
machine. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.

capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the machine,
local regulations may restrict the age
of the operator.
Remove the battery pack before
starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs
in the household refuse or by burning
them. AEG Distributors off er to retrieve
old batteries to protect our
environment.
Do not store the battery pack together
with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only System GBS chargers for
charging System GBS battery packs.
Do not use battery packs from other
systems.
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.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
