Do not try to charge non-rechargeable batteries
with this charger.
Do not store the battery together with metal objects (short circuit
risk).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
Never break open batteries and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Do not touch the tool with conducting objects.
Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace by a new one.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or
material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised
Service Agents.
Always place the charger on a level, well ventilated surface (e.g. not
on a car seat).
Do not place anything, such as a jacket, over the charger and
battery.
This appliance is not intended to

voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to connect
to sockets without an earthing contact as the design conforms to
safety class II.
NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Batteries which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance
of the battery. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of
overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the batteries have to be fully charged, after
used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery where the temperature is below 27°C and away
from moisture
Store the battery in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the battery as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To
reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery could become to high. If this happens, the fuel gauge will
flash and the battery pack cool and then continue work.
Transport of Li-Ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
• The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
• Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation
and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately
trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by
corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated
to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within
packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.

CHARACTERISTICS
After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the
battery will automatically be charged (red lamp is illuminated
continuously)
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger (flashing
red lamp), charging will begin automatically once the battery
reaches the correct charging temperature (5°C...40°C). The max.
charging current is flowing when the temperature of the battery is
between 5°C and 40°C.
The battery’s charging time is between 1 min and 21 min (at 1,5 Ah
battery), depending on the state of discharge.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger changes
from red to green and the LEDs on the battery go out.
It is not necessary to remove the battery after charging. The battery
can be stored permanently in the charger without the danger of
being overcharged.
If both LEDs flash alternately then the rechargeable battery is either
not fully pushed in or there is a fault with the battery or charger. Take
the charger and battery out of use immediately for safety reasons
and have them inspected by a Milwaukee customer service centre.
Two 18V battery packs can be inserted into the charger at the same
time, one on each side of the charger. It will then charge any other
attached batteries in sequence in a clockwise rotation.
