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 discharged the rechargeable battery switches off automatically (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 off at least one minute beforehand (otherwise the display will
be inaccurate). The number of LEDs illuminated indicates the state of charge. A
fl ashing 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.
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 (fl ashing red lamp),
charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches the correct charging
temperature (0°C...65°C). The max. charging current is fl owing when the
temperature of the Li-Ion-battery is between 0°C and 65°C.
The battery's charging time is between 1 min and 20 min (at 1,5 Ah), depending
on the state of discharge.
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 both LEDs fl ash 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.
Both 12V and 14.4/18V battery packs can be inserted into the charger at the
same time, but they will be charged one after the other. The fi rst battery pack to
be inserted will be the fi rst one to be charged. The red LED for the second
battery pack will fl ash slowly to indicate that the charging process has not begun
yet.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM 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.
Check with forwarding company for further advice
