Do not try to charge non-rechargeable batteries with this charger.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk). No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (short circuit risk).
Never break open battery packs or chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times. The battery clamps of the charger are fed by the main supply. Do not touch the tool with conducting objects. Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace with a new one. Before use check the machine, cable, and plug for any damages or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorized 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.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack, or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl aids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and
bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

This charger charges 18V Milwaukee Li-Ion battery packs. This charger can charge two battery packs at the same time. Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.

MAINS CONNECTION

Connect only to single-phase AC 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.

LI-ION BATTERIES

The rechargeable batteries are partially charged. The LED on the battery indicates the state of charge. If it is not used for long periods, the rechargeable battery will switch to a non-operative state. When fully discharged the rechargeable battery switches off automatically (depth discharge not possible). Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could become too high. If this happens, the battery will shut down. Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it. The state of charge can be read by pressing the button on the rechargeable battery. The battery can be left in the electric tool while the reading is taken but it must be switched off at least one minute beforehand (otherwise the display will be inaccurate). The number of LEDs illuminated indicates the state of charge. A fl ashing LED indicates a max. power reserve of 10%. As a general principle, if the electric tool should fail to work after inserting the rechargeable battery, then the battery should be plugged into the charger. The displays on the battery and charger will then provide information about the condition of the battery. In low temperatures work may continue at reduced output.

CHARACTERISTICS

After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the battery will automatically be charged (the red control lamp is illuminated continuously) When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger (fl ashing red lamp), charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches the correct charging temperature (+5°C…+40°C). The max. charging current is fl owing when the temperature of the Li Ion battery is between +5°C and +40°C. The battery’s charging time is between 1 min and 20 min (at 1,5 Ah),
depending on the state of discharge. Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger changes from red to green. 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. As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove batteries when not in use. No battery pack damage will occur, however, if the charger and battery pack are left plugged in.  If both LEDs fl ash alternately then the rechargeable battery is either not fully pushed in or there is a fault with the battery or charger. Take the charger and battery out of use immediately for safety reasons and have them inspected by a Milwaukee customer service center. This charger can charge two battery packs at the same time.

LIGHT INDICATORS

| Continuous red| Charging
---|---|---
| Slow fl ashing green| Approaching full charge
| Continuous green| Charging is complete
| Fast fl ashing red| The battery is too hot/cold – Charging will begin when the battery reaches the correct charging temperature
| Flashing red/green| Damaged or faulty battery pack

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
