IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
tions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual
contains important safety and operating in-
structions for the MILWAUKEE Li-Ion charger
and MILWAUKEE Li-Ion batteries.
2. Before using the battery and charger, read this
operator's manual, tool's operator's manual,
and all labels on the battery, charger and tool.
3.
Use MILWAUKEE Li-Ion batteries
CAUTION
o n l y
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion products. Do not use coun-
terfeit, aftermarket, or "knockoff" batteries or
chargers. Other battery types could explode.
Do not wire a battery to a power supply plug
or car cigarette lighter.
4. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
5. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not expose
to or charge in rain, moisture, snow, damp, or wet
locations. Do not use battery or charger in the
presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous
fumes, dust or flammable materials). Sparks may
be generated when inserting or removing battery,
possibly causing fire.
6. Only charge in a well ventilated area and within
the Recommended Ambient Charging Tem-
perature range. Do not block vents; keep them
clear for proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking
or open flames near a charging battery. Vented
gases may explode.
7. Maintain charger cord. Pull plug rather than cord
to unplug. Never carry charger by its cord. Keep
cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. Ensure cord
will not be stepped on, tripped over, damaged, or
stressed. Do not use charger with damaged cord
or plug. Replace damaged cords immediately.
8. Avoid using an extension cord when possible.
When unavoidable, use an extension cord in good
electrical condition with the proper wire gauge and
length for the current rating of the charger. The
pin size and shape must match the pins on the
charger cord.
9. Charger is rated for 120-127 V AC ONLY.
Charger must be plugged into an appropriate
receptacle.
10. Use only recommended attachments.
11. Unplug charger and remove batteries when
not in use.
12. Always unplug charger before cleaning or
maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into AC/
DC plug. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13. Do not burn, incinerate, or expose batteries
to fire or excessive temperatures above 265°F
(130°C). Batteries may explode. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when batteries are burned.
14. Do not crush, drop, shred, modify, or damage
battery. Always securely contain batteries
during transport. Do not use a battery that has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or
damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit
with a hammer, stepped on, in a vehicle accident).
o n
r e c o m m e n d e d
Do not use or charge batteries that appear dam-
aged or swollen, or are not functioning properly.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit un-
predictable behavior
15. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair bat-
teries or chargers. No internal serviceable parts.
Take batteries/chargers that have been damaged,
broken, or need repair to a MILWAUKEE service
facility to ensure the safety of the product is
maintained.
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 dispose of it. If skin
is exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and
water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed
to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water
for 20 minutes and seek medical attention.
17. Do not short circuit. A short-circuited battery
pack may cause fire, personal injury, and prod-
uct damage. A battery pack will short circuit if a
metal object makes a connection between the
positive and negative contacts on the battery
pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything
that may cause a short circuit (e.g., coins, keys,
nails, or small metal objects in a pocket, toolbox,
or drawer).
18. Do not allow fluids to flow into battery pack.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawa-
ter, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or
bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a
short circuit. Do not use battery packs that have
been exposed to these types of fluids.
19. Battery packs marked as Resistant are suit-
able for environments where incidental contact
or exposure to oils, greases, and solvents can
occur. These packs are not resistant to acids or
other corrosive chemicals. Never immerse or al-
low fluids to penetrate the battery pack.
20. Always use a side handle when using a HIGH
OUTPUT or HIGH DEMAND battery pack 6.0 Ah
or above; the output torque of some tools may
increase. If your drill/driver did not come with a
side handle, visit the MILWAUKEE TOOL website
for the appropriate accessory handle.
21. Store the battery pack and charger in a cool,
dry place. Do not store where temperatures may
exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in direct sunlight,
a vehicle, or metal building during the summer.
22. Always ship Li-Ion batteries in accordance
with the current regulations governing the
chosen mode of transport (e.g. ground, air,
sea). When in doubt, contact MILWAUKEE, the
carrier or other trained Dangerous Goods profes-
sional to determine applicable regulations.
23. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or miss-
ing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a
replacement.
