CHARGER OPERATION

LIMITED WARRANTY - USA AND CANADA

WARNING Charge only MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs in the MILWAUKEE Li-Ion Battery Charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and damage. Battery pack and charger are not compatible with V™-technology or NiCd

systems.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug.

AC/DC Charger (Cat. No. 2710-20)

To reduce the risk of damage to the charger, do not attempt to plug into both AC and DC outlets at the same time.

To use the AC/DC plug in a DC outlet, rotate the DC adapter out (A) and insert into a DC outlet. The AC plug blades should be folded in.

To use the AC/DC plug in an AC outlet, rotate the AC plug blades out (B) and insert into an AC outlet. The DC adapter should be folded in.

When to Charge MILWAUKEE Li-Ion Battery Packs

Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging when convenient for you and your job. MILWAUKEE battery packs do not develop a "memory" when charged after only a partial dis- charge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack before placing it on the charger.

•Use the Fuel Gauge to determine when to charge your MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack.

•You can "Top-Off" your battery pack's charge before starting a big job or long day of use.

•The only time it is necessary to charge the MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly, allowing you just enough power to finish making a cut, drilling a hole, or driving a fastener. Charge the battery pack as needed.

How to Charge the Battery Pack

Place the battery pack onto the bay by sliding the pack on from the top of the bay. The red light will turn on, either flashing (pack is too hot or cold) or continuous (pack is charging).

•A fully discharged pack with an internal tempera- ture between 32°F and 104°F will charge in 30-Min or 1-Hour, depending on the battery pack.

•Heavily cycled battery packs may take longer to charge completely.

•The Fuel Gauge lights on the battery pack are displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating how fully charged the pack is.

•After charging is complete, the continuous green light will turn on and the fuel gauge will turn off.

•The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged if it is left on the charger.

•If the light indicator flashes red and green, check that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove the pack and reinsert. If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.

•If the light indicator does not come on, check that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove the pack and reinsert. If the light indicator still does not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.

Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack

The Red flashing indicator light on the charger indi- cates that the battery pack temperature is outside the charging range. Once the pack is within the acceptable range, normal charging will take place and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold battery packs may take longer to charge.

Powering the Charger with an Inverter or Generator

Maintenance and Storage

Store your charger in a cool, dry place.

As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove battery packs when not in use. No battery pack damage will occur, however, if the charger and battery pack are left plugged in.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and re- move the battery pack from the charger before performing any maintenance. Never disas- semble the battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse your battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the battery pack and charger, keeping away from all elec- trical contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing am- monia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around battery packs, charger, or tools.

Repairs

The MILWAUKEE Li-Ion charger has no service- able parts.

Every MILWAUKEE Battery Pack (sold with cordless product and/or as a replacement battery pack) is warranted to the original purchaser only to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Subject to certain exceptions, MILWAUKEE will repair or replace a battery pack which, after examination, is determined by MILWAUKEE to be defective in material or workmanship for the stated warranty period from date of purchase. Return of the battery pack to a MILWAUKEE factory Service Center location or MILWAUKEE Authorized Service Station, freight prepaid and insured, is required. A copy of the proof of purchase should be included with the return product. This warranty does not apply to damage that MILWAUKEE determines to be from repairs made or attempted by anyone other than MILWAUKEE authorized personnel, misuse, alterations, abuse, normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or accidents.
