SYMBOLOGY

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Charging Temperature
Recommended Ambient Charging Temperature ………………40°F to 104°F

Fuel Gauge

• The battery packs are shipped in “sleep” mode and must be charged before first use.
• Use the fuel gauge to determine the bat- tery pack’s remaining run time. Press the fuel gauge button to display the lights.
• The fuel gauge will light up for 2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash 4 times. When the battery reaches 0% charge. 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash 8 times. Charge the battery pack.

Lights 1&4 / 2&3, flashing alternatingly| Communication error| Remove the battery. Press the Fuel Gauge button to clear. Reinsert the battery. †

• If the problem persists, take the product, charger, and battery pack to a MILWAUKEE service facility.
• An alternating blinking pattern indicates that an error or overtemperature state was encountered. Allow the battery pack to cool and reinsert. If the pattern continues, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.
• The fuel gauge will not work when the shipping switch is pulled out of a battery with a shipping switch.
• If the fuel gauge doesn’t appear to be working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as needed.
• Immediately after using the battery pack, the fuel gauge may display a lower charge than it will if checked a few minutes later. The battery cells “recover” some of their charge after resting.
• Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge lights will flash in an alternating pattern and the product will not run. Allow the battery to cool down.

Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend its life, the battery pack’s intelligent circuit monitors current draw and temperature. In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations, the battery pack will turn OFF the product if the current draw becomes too high. The fuel gauge will flash. Release the trigger, wait for the fuel gauge to stop flashing, and then restart.

Cold Weather Operation
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs are designed to operate in temperatures below freezing. When the battery pack is too cold, it may need to warm up before normal use. Put the battery on a product and use the product in a light application.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and productdamage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

Maintenance and Storage

• Do not expose your battery pack or cordless products to water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This could damage the product and battery pack. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack.
• The plastic casing will become brittle and crack, causing a risk of injury.
• Store at room temperature away from moisture. Store batteries upright. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur. Storing in high temperatures (over 120°F) for long periods can result in permanent capacity loss for any battery. Charge before use after storing for long periods.

Transport
The regulations pertaining to the transport of Li-ion batteries are affected by whether the battery is transported in a personal vehicle or offered for shipment via a commercial carrier. 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 professional to determine applicable regulations. The personal transport of Li-Ion battery packs is allowed when done in accordance with these warnings and instructions. When shipping Li-ion batteries with a commercial carrier, they are shipped under classification UN 3480 (battery only) or UN 3481 (batteries contained in or packed with equipment). The proper packaging, labeling, marking, and documentation requirements are generally dependent upon whether the particular batteries are rated greater than or less than 100 Wh. Often, Li-Ion batteries rated 100 Wh or less are “excepted” from certain shipping regulations. In the U.S., products shipped via ground transport may be “excepted” from certain hazardous material shipping regulations if they are under 300Wh.

Battery packs MXFHD812 and MXFXC608 are above 300Wh and will need to be shipped to DG-9 regulations. To ensure the MXFXC406 battery is below 300Wh during transport, the shipping switch must be in the locked position:

1. Pull out the shipping switch tab.
2. Install the shipping cap provide with the battery at the time of purchase, or secure a cable tie through the hole in the shipping switch tab.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or explosion, 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 Li-Ion Battery Packs
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are more environmentally friendly than some other types of battery packs (e.g., nickel-cadmium). Always dispose of your battery packs 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 “Symbology”) 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.
