MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any mainte- nance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

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

Lubrication

Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)

Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, motor)

Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation

Maintaining tool

If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, return the tool, charger and battery pack to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs (see “Repairs”).

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 according 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 unattended as this may discharge the battery to a point where it will no longer be able to recharge. If the battery pack will not recharge, leave the battery removed from the charger for 24 hours. This allows the battery pack to recover from deep discharge. Reinsert the battery pack onto the charger to recharge to full capacity. Use a MILWAUKEE battery pack only until it no longer performs with the power and torque needed for your application.

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 several months, the battery pack will gradually 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 becomes shorter. If the operating time becomes extremely short after a proper charge, the usable life of the battery pack has been reached and it should be replaced.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow in- side 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, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

WARNING!

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

Disposing of nickel-cadmium battery packs

Nickel-Cadmium battery packs are recyclable. 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 nearestMILWAUKEE Branch Office/ Service Center or dispose of your battery pack according to federal, state and local regulations.

Disposing of nickel-metal hydride battery packs

Nickel-Metal Hydride battery packs are recyclable but may also be disposed into the municipal waste stream. To recycle, return the battery pack to the nearest MILWAUKEE Branch Office/Service Center. Always dispose of your battery pack according to federal, state and local regulations.
