LESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
Usingthewrong,damagedor improperly wired
extensioncord couldresult in therisk offire and
electrical shock. If an extension cord must be
used, plug the charger into a properly wired 16
gaugeor largerextension cord withpins thatare
the same number, 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 120 VOLT AC
ONLY. Charger must be plugged into an ap-
propriate receptacle.
10. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACH-
MENTS. Use of an attachment not recom-
mendedor soldby the batterycharger orbattery
manufacturermay result ina riskof fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER when notin use.Remove
battery from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, always unplug charger before clean-
ingor maintenance. Usea GroundFault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTER-
IES. Batteries may explode, causing personal
injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials
are created when batteries are burned.
14. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE bat-
teries. Do not use a battery or charger that has
receiveda sharp blow, beendropped, run over,
ordamaged inany way(e.g.,pierced witha nail,

15. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassem-
blymay resultin the riskof electricshock, fireor
exposureto battery chemicals.If it is damaged,
take it to a MILWAUKEE service facility.
16. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS
BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes,
or mouth. If a damaged battery leaks battery
chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to
disposeof it. Ifskin is exposed tobattery fluids,
wash with soap and water and rinse with vin-
egar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,
immediatelyflush withwater for20 minutesand

a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or
completely discharged. When burned, toxic
fumes and materials are created.
MILWAUKEE 12 V
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery or cordless tools to
water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This could
damage the tool and battery. Do not use oil or
solvents to clean or lubricate your battery. The
plastic casing will become brittle and crack, caus-
ing a risk of injury.
Store batteries at room temperature away from
moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other
batterytypes, permanent capacityloss can resultif
the battery is stored for long periods of time at high
temperatures(over 120° F).MILWAUKEELithium-
Ion batteries maintain their charge during storage
longer than other battery types. After about six
months of storage, charge the battery as normal.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion Batteries
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion batteries are more en-
vironmentally friendly than some other types of
powertool batteries(e.g., nickel-cadmium).Always
dispose of your battery according to federal, state
and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency
in your area for recycling locations.
Even discharged batteries contain some energy.
Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
terminalsto preventthe battery fromshorting, which
could cause a fire or explosion.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see
"Symbology") on your tool battery indicates that
MILWAUKEE hasarranged for therecycling ofthat
battery with the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery's
useful life, return the battery to a MILWAUKEE
Branch Office/Service Center or the participating
retailernearest you. For moreinformation, visit the
RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.
When to Charge the Battery Pack
Remove the battery from the tool for charging when
convenient for you and your job. MILWAUKEE bat-
teriesdonotdevelop a"memory"whencharged after
only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run
down the battery before placing it on the charger.
• Use the Fuel Gauge (on the tool) to determine
when to charge your MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery.
• You can "Top-Off" your battery's charge before
starting a big job or long day of use.
• The only time it is necessary to charge the
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery is when the
battery has reached the end of its charge. To
signal the end of charge, power to the tool will
drop quickly, allowing you just enough power to
finish making a cut, drilling a hole, or driving a
fastener. Charge the battery as needed.
How to Charge the Battery
Align the battery with the bay and slide the battery
into the charger as far as possible. The red light
will come on, either flashing (battery is too hot or
cold) or continuous (pack is charging).
• Afully dischargedbatterywith aninternal tempera-
ture in the normal range will charge in about 30
minutes(between32°F and140°F). Heavily cycled
batteries may take longer to charge completely.
• After charging is complete, the continuous green
light will come on.
• The charger will keep the battery fully charged if
it is left on the charger.
• If the light indicator flashes red and green, check
that the battery is fully seated into the bay. Re-
move the battery and reinsert. If the light contin-
ues to flash red and green, the battery may be
extremely hot or cold, or wet.Allow the battery to
cool down, warm up, or dry out and then reinsert.
If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility.
• If the light indicator does not come on, check that
the battery is fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery and reinsert. If the light indicator still
doesnot comeon, contacta MILWAUKEEservice
facility.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery
The Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger
indicates that the battery temperature is outside
the charging range. Once the battery is within the
acceptable range, normal charging will take place
and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold
batteries may take longer to charge.
