IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the REDLITHIUM USB charger catalog no. L4 PPS and battery catalog no. L4B2, L4B3.
Charge only REDLITHIUM USB batteries in the REDLITHIUM USB charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and damage.
Before using the battery and charger, read the operator’s manual, your tool operator’s manual, and all labels on the battery pack, charger, and tool.
Use only with listed/certifi ed ITE power supply. Other power supplies may result in a risk of fi re, electric shock, or personal injury.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not charge the battery pack in rain, snow, damp, or wet locations. Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust, or fl ammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery pack, possibly causing fi re.
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block the charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open fl ames near a charging battery. Vented gases may explode.
Maintain the cord. When unplugging the charger, pull the plug rather than the cord to reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry the charger by its cord. Keep the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Make sure that the cord will not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress. Do not use the charger with a damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged charger replaced immediately.
Use only recommended attachments. The use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery manufacturer may result in a risk of fi re, electric shock, or personal injury.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger before cleaning or maintenance.

Do not burn or incinerate the battery packs. Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury, or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
Do not crush, drop, or damage the battery pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Do not disassemble. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fi re, or exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE service center.
Battery chemicals cause serious burns. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If the skin is exposed to battery fl uids, wash with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately fl use with water for 20 minutes
and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
Do not short circuit. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack.
Do not place the battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as coins, keys, or nails in your pocket. Do not allow fl uids to fl ow into the battery pack. Corrosive or conductive fl aids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit. A short-circuited battery pack may cause fi re, personal injury, and product damage.
Store the battery pack and charger in a cool, dry place. Do not store the battery pack where temperatures may exceed 50°C, such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle, or a metal building during the summer.
The product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the product by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.

BATTERIES –  MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Do not expose the battery pack or cordless tools to water or rain or allow them to get wet. This causes damage to the product and battery pack. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery. The plastic casing will become brittle and crack, causing a risk of injury.
Store batteries at room temperature away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery types, the permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 50°C). MILWAUKEE Li-Ion batteries maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery types. After 6 months of storage, charge the battery as normal.
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.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the product, battery pack, or charger in fl uid or allow fl uid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl aids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
