The insertion tool may become hot during use.

WARNING! 

Danger of burns

• when changing tools
• when setting the device down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is 
running.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always 
lead the cable away behind you.
When working in walls ceiling, or fl oor, 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.
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any 
work on the machine.
When working with large drill diameters, the auxiliary handle must 
be fastened in a right angle with the main handle (see illustrations, 
section “Twisting the handle”).

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The rotary pneumatic hammer can be used for hammer drilling, 
chiselling in stone and concrete and drilling in wood, metal as well 
as plastic.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the rotary hammer drill 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 tool by designated handles, do not touch the drill bits.

■

Kick-back whilst drilling if the bit jams. Always use the side handle 
and grip the tool firmly.

■

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 tool by designated handles 
and limit exposure to vibration. See “RISK REDUCTION”.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools 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 tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take 
regular breaks.

MAINS CONNECTION

Appliances used at many different locations including wet room and 
open air must be connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD, 
PRCD) of 30 mA or less.
Connect only to single-phase AC current and only to the system 
voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to 
sockets without an earthing contact as the design conforms to safety 
class II.
Make sure the product is switched off before plugging in.
This is a device for professional use which may slightly exceed the 
guide values for current harmonics when it is connected to the public 
low voltage mains supply. You should therefore contact your energy 
supply company before you connect the device to the public low 
voltage mains supply.

MAINTENANCE

The ventilation slots of the product 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.
If the supply cord of the product is damaged, it must be replaced 
by a specially prepared supply cord available through the service 
organisation.
Use only AEG accessories and 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
