1. CAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
MILWAUKEE 9.6, 12, 14.4 and 18 Volt Power Plus Battery packs in
this charger. Other types of batteries ay explode, causing personal
injury or da age.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use charger in rain,
snow, da p or wet locations. Do not use battery pack or charger in
the presence of explosive at ospheres (gaseous fu es, dust or
fla able aterials) because sparks ay be generated when insert-
ing or re oving battery pack, possibly causing fire.
3. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do not block charger
vents. Keep the clear to allow proper ventilation. Do not allow
s oking or open fla es near a charging battery pack. Vented gases
ay explode.
4. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When unplugging charger, pull plug
rather than cord to reduce the risk of da age to the electrical plug and
cord. Never carry charger by its cord. Keep cord fro heat, oil and
sharp edges. Make sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over or
subjected to da age or stress. Do not use charger with da aged
cord or plug. Have a da aged cord replaced i ediately with identi-
cal replace ent parts (see Maintenance).
5. DO NOT USE CHARGER OR BATTERY PACK IF it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped or da aged in any way. Do not disas-
se ble. Incorrect reasse bly ay result in the risk of electric shock,
fire or exposure to battery fluids. If it is da aged, take it to a
MILWAUKEE service facility.
6. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC ONLY. Charger ust be
plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
7. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS. Use of an attach ent
not reco ended or sold by the battery charger anufacturer ay
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY. Using the wrong, da aged or i properly wired exten-
This anual contains i portant safety and operating instructions for battery chargers. Before using the battery charger, read this anual as well as any
labels on the charger, battery pack and tool.
sion cord could result in the risk of fire and electrical shock. If an
extension cord ust be used, plug the charger into a properly wired
16 gauge or larger extension cord with pins that are the sa e nu -
ber, size and shape as the pins on the charger. Make sure that the
extension cord is in good electrical condition.
9. DO NOT BURN, MUTILATE OR DISASSEMBLE BATTERY PACK.
The battery pack can explode in a fire. Mutilation ay expose battery
fluids, causing burns.
10. BATTERY FLUIDS CAUSE SERIOUS CHEMICAL BURNS. Never al-
low contact with skin or eyes. If a da aged battery pack leaks
battery fluids, 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. Re ove and dispose of conta inated clothing. If eyes
are affected, i ediately flush with water for 15 inutes and seek
edical attention.
11. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery pack will short circuit if a etal
object akes a connection between the positive and negative con-
tacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything
that ay cause a short circuit, such as coins or keys in your pocket.
A short circuited battery pack ay cause fire and personal injury.
12. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use.
13. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger
before cleaning or aintenance, turning off controls will not reduce
this risk. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock
hazards.
14. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER in a cool, dry place.
Do not store battery pack where te peratures ay exceed 120°F
(50°C) such as in a vehicle or etal building during the su er. Charger
will charge the battery at the ost rapid rate when the te perature is
between 41°F (5°C) and 113°F (45°C). When the battery te perature
is outside that range, charging will take longer.

OPERATION
Wh n to charg th Pow r Plus batt ry pack
Charge your battery pack before you use your tool for the first ti e and when
your tool no longer perfor s with the power and torque needed for the job.
Never co pletely discharge the battery pack.
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4-5 chargings and
dischargings. Battery packs which have not been used for so e ti e
should be recharged before use.
Standard charging tim s
Standard charging ti e is approxi ately one hour. Charging ti e varies
depending on the battery te perature, charge needed and the type of
battery pack being charged. For exa ple, if the battery pack does not
require a full charge, the charging ti e will be less than one hour.
Eff cts of t mp ratur on charging
Battery packs are affected by te perature. The charger will sense battery
te perature and will charge the battery at the ost rapid rate when its
te perature is between 41°F (5°C) and 113°F (45°C). When the battery
te perature is outside of this range, charging will occur at a slower rate
to prevent da age to battery.
Automatic start
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger, charging will
begin auto atically once the battery reaches the correct charging
te perature.
Maint nanc charg
Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. The Maintenance Charge
feature keeps the battery pack fully charged when the battery pack is stored
in a charger that is plugged in. The Maintenance Charge auto atically begins
after the battery pack is fully charged. During Maintenance Charge,
the control light will be off.

WARNING!

Page 4
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular
aintenance progra . After six onths 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, otor)
 Testing to assure proper echanical 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 batt ry pack
MILWAUKEE Nickel-Cad iu and Nickel-Metal Hydride battery packs will
operate for any years and/or hundreds of cycles when they are
aintained and used according to these instructions.
A battery pack that is stored for six onths without being used will discharge
itself. Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. Charge the battery
every six onths even if it is unused to axi ize battery life. Do not tape
the tool's trigger in the ON position and leave the tool unattended as this ay
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 re oved fro the
charger for 24 hours. This allows the battery pack to recover fro deep
discharge. Reinsert the battery pack onto the charger to recharge to full
capacity. Use a MILWAUKEE battery pack only until it no longer perfor s
with the power and torque needed for your application.
Store your battery pack in a cool, dry place. Do not store it where the
te perature ay exceed 120° F (50° C) such as in a vehicle or etal building
during the su er. High te peratures will overheat the battery pack,
reducing battery life. If it is stored for several onths, the battery pack will
gradually lose its charge. One to three cycles of charging and discharging
through nor al use will restore the capacity of the battery pack. During the
life of the battery pack, the operating ti e between charges beco es
shorter. If the operating ti e beco es extre ely short after a proper
charge, the usable life of the battery pack has been reached and it should
be replaced.
