Clean only with dry cloth. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Keep the apparatus handle clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.
Do not install near any heat sources.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
No ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
It shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Do not place the product in closed bookcases or racks without proper ventilation.
Where the mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Do not stand on unit.
Warning! To reduce the risk of ﬁre, personal injury, and product damage 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.

CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors oﬀer to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only Milwaukee M12 System chargers for charging Milwaukee M12 System battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

The following battery packs can be charged with this charger:

Battery Cat.
No.| Cell Type| DC Volts| Capacity| Cell No.
---|---|---|---|---
M12B| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 1.5 Ah| 3
M12BX| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 3.0 Ah| 2 x 3
M12B2| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 2.0 Ah| 3
M12B3| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 3.0 Ah| 3
M12B4| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 4.0 Ah| 2 x 3
M12B6| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 6.0 Ah| 2 x 3

Do not try to charge non-rechargeable batteries with this charger.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (short circuit risk).
Caution! Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type;
– high or low extreme temperatures that a battery can be subjected to during use, storage or transportation,
– low air pressure at high altitude,
– replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a safeguard (for example in the case of some lithium battery types),
– disposal of a battery into ﬁ re or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery,
– or leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of ﬂ ammable liquid or gas,
– or a battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the leakage of ﬂammable liquid or gas.

Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Do not touch the tool with conducting objects.
Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace by a new one.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised Service Agents.
This appliance is not intended to be used or cleaned by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given instructions concerning the safe use of the appliance by a person legally responsible for their safety.
They should be supervised whilst using the appliance.
Children shall not use, clean or play with this appliance, which when not in use should be secured out of their reach.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The radio charger can charge Milwaukee System 12 V batteries.
The radio is suitable for reception of broadcasting and to import audio sound of diﬀerent devices via Bluetooth and analog audio connection.
Via USB connection the radio can charge USB devices.
This radio is designed to withstand harsh operating environments as well as unintentional drops.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.

EC-DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
Hereby, Techtronic Industries GmbH declares that the radio equipment type M12 RC is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: http://services.milwaukeetool.eu.

MAINS CONNECTION

Connect only to single-phase a.c. current and only to the system voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an earthing contact as the design conforms to safety class II.

BATTERIES

Low Battery Indicator:
When the radio is powered by a battery pack and its charge falls below 10%, the low battery indicator is displayed.
Battery Pack Protection:
To protect the life of the battery pack, the radio will shut oﬀ when the battery’s charge becomes too low. If this happens, plug radio charger to a mains connection and charge the battery pack.
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, after use, the battery packs have to be fully charged.

CHARGER CHARACTERISTICS

After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the battery will automatically be charged (red lamp is illuminated continuously)
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger (ﬂashing red lamp), charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches the correct charging temperature (0°C…60°C).
Charging time varies depending on the battery temperature, charge needed and the type of battery pack being charged.
If both LEDs ﬂash at the same time, either the battery has not been completely mounted or there is a fault in the battery or the charger. For safety reasons you must stop using the charger and battery immediately and have them inspected by an Milwaukee Customer Service Centre.
