GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,

ﬁre and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This operator's manual contains important safety and operating instructions for MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs and the MILWAUKEE Li-Ion charger. Before using the battery pack and charger, read this operator's manual, your tool operator's manual, and all labels on the battery pack, charger and tool.

10.	TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
	SHOCK, always unplug charger before
	cleaning or maintenance. Use a Ground
	Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce
	shock hazards.
11.	DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE
	BATTERY PACKS. Battery packs may
	explode, causing personal injury or dam-
	age. Toxic fumes and materials are cre-
	ated when battery packs are burned.
12.	DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE
	battery pack. Do not use a battery pack
	or charger that has received a sharp
	blow, been dropped, run over, or dam-
	aged in any way (e.g., pierced with a
	nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).

15. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery

pack will short circuit if a metal object

makes a connection between the posi-

tive and negative contacts on the battery

pack. Do not place a battery pack near

anything that may cause a short circuit,

such as coins, keys or nails in your

pocket. A short circuited battery pack

may cause ﬁre and personal injury.

16. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND

CHARGER in a cool, dry place. Do not

store battery pack where temperatures

may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in

direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal build-

ing during the summer. Charger will

charge the battery when the battery's

internal temperature is between 14°F

1. CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF INJURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE

LITHIUM-ION PACKS ONLY IN THEIR

MILWAUKEE LITHIUM-ION CHAR-

GER. Other types of chargers may cause

personal injury or damage. Battery pack

and charger are not compatible with V™-

technology or NiCd systems. Do not wire

a battery pack to a power supply plug or

car cigarette lighter. Battery packs will be

permanently disabled or damaged.

2. USE MILWAUKEE LITHIUM-ION

PACKS ONLY ON COMPATIBLE

MILWAUKEE LITHIUM-ION TOOLS.

Battery pack and charger are not com-

patible with V™-technology or NiCd

systems. Use with other tools may result

in a risk of ﬁre, electric shock or personal

injury.

3. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRON-

MENTS. Do not charge battery pack in

rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do

not use battery pack or charger in the

presence of explosive atmospheres

(gaseous fumes, dust or flammable

materials) because sparks may be

5. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When

unplugging charger, pull plug rather

than cord to reduce the risk of damage

to the electrical plug and cord. Never

carry charger by its cord. Keep cord

from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make

sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped

over or subjected to damage or stress.

Do not use charger with damaged cord

or plug. Have a damaged cord replaced

immediately with identical replacement

parts (see “Maintenance”).

6. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECES-

SARY. Using the wrong, damaged or

improperly wired extension cord could

result in the risk of ﬁre and electrical

shock. If an extension cord must be used,

plug the charger into a properly wired

16 gauge or larger extension cord with

pins that are the same number, size and

shape as the pins on the charger. Make

sure that the extension cord is in good

electrical condition.

7. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT

AC ONLY. Charger must be plugged into

13. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect

reassembly may result in the risk of

electric shock, ﬁre or exposure to battery

chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a

MILWAUKEE service facility.

14. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERI-

OUS BURNS. Never allow contact with

skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged bat-

tery pack leaks battery chemicals, use

rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose

of it. If skin is exposed to battery ﬂuids,

wash with soap and water and rinse with

vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery

chemicals, immediately ﬂush with water

for 20 minutes and seek medical atten-

tion. Remove and dispose of contami-

nated clothing.

(-10°C)	and 150°F (65°C). When the
battery	temperature is outside that
range, charging will not occur.

generated when inserting or removing

battery pack, possibly causing ﬁre.

4. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED

AREA. Do not block charger vents. Keep

them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do

not allow smoking or open ﬂames near a

charging battery pack. Vented gases may

explode.

an appropriate receptacle.

8. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AT-

TACHMENTS. Use of an attachment

not recommended or sold by the battery

charger or battery pack manufacturer

may result in a risk of ﬁre, electric shock

or personal injury.

9. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use.

Remove battery packs from unplugged

chargers.
