Transport
Personal transport of Li-Ion battery packs is allowed
when done in accordance with these warnings and
instructions. The proper classification, packaging, la-
beling, marking, and documentation requirements for
shipping Li-Ion batteries is dependent upon whether
the particular batteries are rated greater than or less
than 100 Wh. Generally, Li-Ion batteries rated 100
Wh or less are "excepted" from certain Class 9 DG
requirements. Always check compliance of Li-Ion
battery consignments against the current regulations
governing the chosen mode of transport. When in
doubt, contact the carrier or other trained Dangerous
Goods professional to confirm acceptability. Li-Ion
packs are shipped under classification UN 3480
(battery only) or UN 3481 (batteries contained in or
packed with equipment).
To reduce the risk of injury or ex-
WARNING
plosion, never burn or incinerate a
battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or com-
pletely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes
and materials are created.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE Li-Ion
Battery Packs
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs are more environ-
mentally friendly than some other types of power tool
battery packs (e.g., nickel-cadmium). Always dispose
of your battery pack according to federal, state and
local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your
area for recycling locations.
Even discharged battery packs contain some energy.
Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting,
which could cause a fire or explosion.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see "Sym-
bology") on your tool battery packs indicate that
MILWAUKEE has arranged for the recycling of
that battery pack with the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your
battery pack's useful life, return the battery pack to
a MILWAUKEE Branch Office/Service Center or the
participating retailer nearest you. For more informa-
tion, visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.
MILWAUKEE LI-ION

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Charge only MILWAUKEE 12V Li-
WARNING
Ion batteries in MILWAUKEE 12V
Li-Ion Chargers. Other types of batteries may
cause personal injury and damage.
When to Charge the Battery Pack
with this MILWAUKEE Charger
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.
• Use the Fuel Gauge to determine when to charge
your MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack.
• You can "Top-Off" your battery pack's charge before
starting a big job or long day of use.
• The only time it is necessary to charge the
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack is when the battery
pack 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 pack as needed.
Charging the Battery Pack
1. Plug your USB A end of the cable into a power
source such as an AC wall adaptor, computer or
car port.
2. Insert the Micro-USB end of the cable into the
Micro-USB port in the charger.
3. Insert the battery pack into charger. The indicator
light will display the charging status:
Red: Charging
Green: Charged
Red Flashing: Battery is too hot or too cold
Red/Green Flashing: Damaged or Faulty Battery
• During charging, press the power button to display
the current charge on the fuel gauge.
• USB A Port (for device charging) and DC out port
(for powering heated gear) is shut down when the
Micro-USB port is being used.
• A fully discharged battery pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will charge in about
130 to 525 minutes, depending on the battery pack.
• 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 pack fully charged
if it is left on the charger.
• The Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger
indicates that the battery pack temperature is out-
side the charging range. Once the battery pack 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.
• If the light indicator flashes red and green, check that
the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery pack and reinsert. If the light continues to
flash red and green, the battery pack may be extremely
hot or cold, or wet. Allow the battery pack 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 pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery pack and reinsert. If the light indicator
still does not come on, remove pack and unplug
charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes,
plug charger back in and insert pack. If after these
attempts the light indicator still does not come on,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.
Maintenance and Storage
Store your charger in a cool, dry place.
Unplug battery chargers and remove batteries when
not in use. Do not store battery packs in the M12™
Compact Charger and Power Source.
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery from the charger before performing any
maintenance. Never disassemble the battery or
charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility
for ALL repairs.
To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never
immerse your battery or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to flow inside them.
