plosion, never burn or incinerate
a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or
completely discharged. When burned, toxic
fumes and materials are created.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion
Battery Packs
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are more
environmentally 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 re-
cycling 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.

CHARGER OPERATION

Charge only MILWAUKEE M18™
WARNING
Lithium-Ion batteries in this
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion charger. Other types of
batteries may cause personal injury and damage.
When to Charge the Battery Pack
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 Lithium-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 Lithium-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.
How to Charge the Battery Pack
Plug the light into a 120V outlet. The battery packs will
not charge if the Stand Light Charger is not plugged
in. Align the battery pack with the bay and slide the
battery pack into the charger as far as possible.
• When a battery pack is inserted into the charger,
the LEDs will indicate the following:
Continuous red: Charging
Continuous green light: Charging is complete
Flashing red: Battery is too hot/cold
Charging will begin when battery reaches
correct charging temperature
Flashing red/green: Damaged or faulty battery
pack
• A fully discharged battery pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will charge in about
30 to 170 minutes, depending on the battery pack.
• Heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge
completely.
• The Fuel Gauge lights on the battery pack are
displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating
how fully charged the pack is. The fuel gauge will
turn off when charging is complete.
• 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 second pack inserted in the charger will be-
gin charging when the first pack inserted is fully
charged.
• If the light indicator flashes red and green, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.
Remove the pack and reinsert. If the problem per-
sists, 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, contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
The Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger in-
dicates that the battery pack temperature is outside
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 bat-
teries may take longer to charge.

WARNING
unplug the tool and charger and
remove the battery pack from the charger or tool
before performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never im-
merse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid

or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain
industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach con-
