CHARGING & USING BATTERY PACKS

WARNING!

Charge only MILWAUKEE 12, 14.4 and 18 Volt battery packs in charg- ers. Other types of batteries may explode causing personal injury and damage.

Charge your battery pack before you use your tool for the first time and when your tool no longer performs with the power and torque needed for the job. Never completely discharge the battery pack. Standard charging time will vary accord- ing to the type of charger you use. The charging time will also vary depending on the supply voltage and charge needed. For example, if your battery pack does not require a full charge, charging time will be less.

FOR SPECIFIC CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE READ THE CHARGER OPERATOR'S MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH YOUR CHARGER.

Battery packs are affected by tempera- ture. Your battery pack will perform best and have longest life if it is charged when the temperature is between 60°-80°F (15°- 27°C). Do not charge in temperatures be- low 40°F (5°C) or above 105°F (40°C). Under these conditions, capacity will be reduced. (See “Maintenance").
