IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS, ILLUSTRATIONS, AND SPECIFICATIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS POWER TOOL. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁre, and/or serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS- THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL CONTAINS
IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not charge battery in the rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not use a battery or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust, or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery, possibly causing ﬁre.
CHARGE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open ﬂames near a charging battery. Vented gases may explode.
MAINTAIN 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 a charger by its cord. Keep ord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Make sure 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. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery manufacturer may result in a risk of ﬁre, 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 BATTERY PACKS. A battery may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when batteries are burned.
DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE THE BATTERY. Do not use a battery or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way (e.g., ierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, ﬁre or exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE service facility.
BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene loves to dispose of it. If the skin is exposed to battery ﬂuids, wash with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately ﬂush 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 a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as coins, keys, or nails in your pocket. Do not allow ﬂuids to ﬂow into the battery packs. Corrosive or conductive ﬂuids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit. A short-circuited battery pack may cause ﬁre, personal injury, and product damage.
STORE in a cool, dry place. Do not store batteries where temperatures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or a metal building during the summer.
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.
KNOW YOUR LIGHT. Read this manual carefully to learn your light’s applications and limitations as well as potential hazards associated with this type of light.
MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

BATTERY 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 ﬂuid or allow a ﬂuid to ﬂow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive ﬂuids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery or cordless tools to water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This could damage the tool and battery. 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 120° F). MILWAUKEE Li-Ion batteries maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery types. After about a year 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.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE Li-Ion Battery
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion batteries are more environmentally friendly than some other types of power tool batteries. Always dispose of your battery according to federal, state, and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for recycling locations. Even discharged batteries contain some energy. Before disposing of, use electrical tape to cover the terminals to prevent the battery from shorting, which could cause a ﬁ re or explosion.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see “Symbology”) on your batteries indicate that MILWAUKEE has arranged for the recycling of that battery with the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery’s useful life, return the battery to a MILWAUKEE Branch Oﬃ ce/Service Center or the participating retailer nearest you. For more information, visit the RBRC website at www.rbrc.org.
