WORK AREA SAFETY

• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used near children.
• Store idle light out of reach of children. Warm lights can become hazardous in the hands of children.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power cord plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not put light in water or other liquid. Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
• Arrange cords carefully to avoid hazardous environments. Tripping or snagging on cords can cause injury and product damage. Do not allow cords to run through puddles or across wet ground.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Unplug the cord from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.
• Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a light in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the light in unexpected situations.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the light in unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

SYMBOLOGY

EXTENSION CORDS

• Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
• Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
• The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W” to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.

GROUNDING

WARNING Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools:

• Tools with Three Prong Plugs
• Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
• The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
• Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug Fig. A and outlet should look like those

Double Insulated Tools:

• Tools with Two Prong Plugs
• Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian
• Standard Association and the National Electrical Code. Double Insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures B and C.

ASSEMBLY

• WARNING Recharge only with the charger specified for the battery. For specific charging instructions, read the operator’s manual supplied with your charger and battery.

4. Press the Power button to turn the light off. Always turn off power before unplugging the light.

BATTERY OPERATION

Fuel Gauge

• Use the Fuel Gauge to determine the battery 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 slowly.
• NOTE: If the Fuel Gauge doesn’t appear to be working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as needed.
• Compared to NiCd battery pack types, MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power for their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To signal the end of discharge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash quickly for 2-3 seconds and the tool will not run. Charge the battery pack.
• NOTE: 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.

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 tool if the current draw becomes too high. All the fuel gauge lights will flash. Release the trigger and restart.
• 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 tool will not run. Allow the battery to cool down.

restart, reduce pressure
Lights 1&3 / 2&4, flashing alternatingly| Battery temperature too high| Release trigger and allow battery to cool

Cold Weather Operation
MILWAUKEE Lithium-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 tool and use the tool in a light application. It may “buzz” for a short time until it warms up. When the buzzing stops, use the tool normally.

Maintenance and Storage

• Do not expose your battery pack or cordless tools to water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This could damage the tool 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 battery packs at room temperature away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 120° F). MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery pack types. After about a year of storage, charge the pack as normal.

Transport

• Personal transport of Li-Ion battery packs is allowed when done in accordance with these warnings and instructions. The proper classification, packaging, labeling, 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 (Watt Hours can be found on the battery pack nameplate). 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).
• 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 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 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 information, visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org .

CHARGER OPERATION

• WARNING Charge only MIL- WAUKEE M18™ 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 185 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 light indicator will flash green during this maintenance charging.
• 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 indicates 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 batteries may take longer to charge.
