WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

• This appliance 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 appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WORK AREA SAFETY a

• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when any 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 adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the 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 a light in water or other liquid. Do not place or store appliances where they 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 the outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.
• Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce the risk of electric shock.

CHARGER OPERATION

WARNING  Charge only MILWAUKEE®MX FUEL™ Li-Ion batteries in this MILWAUKEE ® Li-Ion charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and damage.

When to Charge the Battery Pack with this MILWAUKEE Charger

Remove the battery pack from the product 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 Li-Ion battery pack.

• You can “Top-Off” your battery pack’s charge before starting a big job or a long day of use.

• The only time it is necessary to charge the MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack is when the battery pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the product will drop quickly, allowing you just enough power to finish the operation. Charge the battery pack as needed.
  How to Charge the Battery Pack
  Align the battery pack with the bay and slide the battery pack into the charger as far as possible. The red light will come on, either flashing quickly (battery pack or charger is too hot or cold), flashing slowly (communication between pack and charger), or continuously (the pack is charging).

• Afully discharged battery pack with an internal temperature in the normal range will charge in about 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the battery pack and internal temperature of the charger.

• Heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge completely.

• The fuel gauge lights 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 be the same as normal charging.

• If the light indicator flashes red and green, check that the battery pack is fully seated in the bay. Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the light continues to flash red and green, remove pack(s) and unplug the charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug the charger back in and insert the pack. If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.

• If the light indicator does not come on, check that the battery pack is fully seated in the bay. Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the light indicator still does not come on, remove pack(s) and unplug the charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug the charger back in and insert the pack. If after these attempts the light indicator still does not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE ® service facility.
  Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
  The fast Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger indicates that the battery pack or charger temperature is outside the charging range. Once the battery pack or charger 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.
