MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

FIVE YEAR TOOL LIMITED WARRANTY

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact

a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Keep your battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service fa- cility for:

Electrical inspection

Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation

Maintaining Battery Pack

MILWAUKEE Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel- Metal Hydride battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when they are maintained and used ac- cording to these instructions.

A battery pack that is stored for six months without being used will discharge itself. Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. Charge the battery every six months even if it is unused to maximize battery life. Do not tape the tool's trigger in the ON position and leave the tool unat- tended as this may discharge the battery to a point where it will no longer be able to recharge. Use a MILWAUKEE battery pack only until it no longer performs with the power and torque needed for your appli- cation.

Store your battery pack in a cool, dry place. Do not store it where the temperature may exceed 120° F (50° C) such as in a vehicle or metal building during the summer. High temperatures will overheat the battery pack, reducing battery life. If it is stored for sev- eral months, the battery pack will gradu- ally lose its charge. One to three cycles of charging and discharging through normal use will restore the capacity of the battery pack. During the life of the battery pack, the operating time between charges be- comes shorter. If the operating time be- comes extremely short after a proper charge, the usable life of the battery pack has been reached and it should be re- placed.

WARNING!

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

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lac- quer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

To reduce the risk of explosion, never burn a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or com- pletely discharged.

RBRC Battery Recycling Seals

The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals on your tool battery packs indicate that MILWAUKEE has arranged for the recy- cling of that battery pack with the Re- chargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery pack’s useful life, return the battery pack to a MILWAUKEE Branch Office/Service Cen- ter or the participating retailer nearest you. For more information, visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.

Disposing of Nickel-Cadmium Battery Packs

Nickel-Cadmium battery packs are recy- clable. Under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Return the battery pack to the nearest MILWAUKEE Branch Office/Service Cen- ter or dispose of your battery pack ac- cording to federal, state and local regula- tions.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to the nearest service center.

Battery Pack Warranty
