If the light is plugged into a AC outlet,
the light runs in AC mode. Currently
the battery will be charged.
Devices connected to the USB port
are supplied with power. Any device
that uses more than 2.4 A of DC
electrical current will trip a self-
resetting function and disable the
output.

water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least
10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your

LI-ION BATTERIES
The rechargeable batteries are partially charged. The LED
on the battery indicates the state of charge.
If it is not used for long periods, the rechargeable battery
will switch to the non-operative state.
When fully discqharged the rechargeable battery switches
offautomatically (depth discharge not possible).
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of
the battery could become to high. If this happens, the
battery will shut down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
The state of charge can be read by pressing the button on
the rechargeable battery. The battery can be left in the
electric tool while the reading is taken but it must be
switched offat least one minute beforehand (otherwise the
display will be inaccurate). The number of LEDs illuminated
indicates the state of charge. A flashing LED indicates a
max. power reserve of 10%.
As a general principle, if the electric tool should fail to work
after inserting the rechargeable battery, then the battery
should be plugged into the charger. The displays on the
battery and charger will then provide information about the
condition of the battery.
In low temperatures work may continue at reduced output.
CHARGING CHARACTERISTICS
After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger
the battery will automatically be charged (red control 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
(0°C...60°C). The max. charging current is flowing when
the temperature of the Li-Ion-battery is between 5°C and
40°C.
Charging time varies depending on the battery
temperature, charge needed and the type of battery pack
being charged.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger
changes from red to green.
Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging when
convenient for you and your job. Milwaukee batteries do
not develop a “memory” when charged after only a partial
discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack
before placing it on the charger.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers
and remove batteries when not in use. No battery pack
damage will occur, however, if the charger and battery pack
are left plugged in.
If the LED flashes alternately red/green, 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

BATTERIES
Battery packs 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 pack. 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 battery packs 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 pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
27°C and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
