1.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MILWAUKEE
2.BEFORE USING THE BATTERIES AND CHARGER, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON BATTERY CHARGER, BATTERY, AND TOOL.
3.CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OFINJURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE 12 AND 18 VLITHIUM- ION BATTERIES ONLY IN MILWAUKEE 12 AND 18 V
4.USE MILWAUKEE
Use with other tools may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
5.AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not charge battery pack in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not use battery pack or char- ger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when insert- ing or removing battery pack, possibly causing fire.
6.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.
7.MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When unplug- ging 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”).
8.DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. 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 size and shape as the pins on the charger. Make sure that the extension cord
is in good electrical condition.
9. CHARGER IS RATED FOR
10.USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery pack manufac- turer may result in a risk of fire , electric shock or personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove battery pack from unplugged chargers.
12.TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger before clean- ing or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13.DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERIES. Batteries may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are cre- ated when batteries are burned.
14.DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE batter- ies. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
15.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 dealer.
16.BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluid, wash with soap and water and rinse with an alkaline substance. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
17.DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive 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.
18.STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHAR- GER in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery pack where temperatures may exceed 50°C (120°F) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the summer.
