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 and chargers, and store them only in dry rooms. Keep the battery packs and chargers dry at all times.

Do not touch the product with conducting objects.

Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace the damaged battery pack with a new one.

Before use check the product, cable, and plug for any damages or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised service centres.

Always place the charger on a level, well-ventilated surface (e.g. not on a car seat).

Do not place anything, such as a jacket, over the charger and battery pack.

The product 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 product by a person legally responsible for their safety. They should be supervised while using the product. Children shall not use, clean, or play with the product.

When not in use the product should be secured out of their reach.

Do not recharge primary cells (non-rechargeable).

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The charger charges 18 V MILWAUKEE Li-ion battery packs.

Do not use the product for any other purpose.

MAINS CONNECTION

Connect the product only to the single-phase AC current and 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.

BATTERIES

Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.

Temperatures in excess of 50°C reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).

The contacts of the chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.

For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be fully charged after use.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid, wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.

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 fluid or allow fl uid to fl ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the product vibrates for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge flashes, and then the product turns off . To reset, release the trigger.

Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge flashes until the battery pack cools down. After the lights go off, continue working.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.

Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local, national, and international provisions and regulations.

Batteries can be transported by road without further requirements.

Commercial transport of lithium-ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods Regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.

When transporting batteries:

• Ensure that the battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that the battery pack is secured against movement within the packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
• Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

CHARACTERISTICS

After inserting the battery pack into the reception of the charger, the battery pack will automatically be charged (red 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 pack reaches the correct charging temperature (0°C – 65°C). The maximum charging current is fl owing when the temperature of the battery pack is between 0°C and 65°C.

The battery pack’s charging time is between 25 min and 130 min (at 1.5 Ah battery), depending on the state of discharge.

Once the battery pack is fully charged, the LED on the charger changes from red to green and the LEDs on the battery pack go out.

It is not necessary to remove the battery pack after charging. The battery pack can be stored permanently in the charger without the danger of it being overcharged.

If the light indicator fl ashes red and green, check that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove the battery pack and reinsert it. If the light continues to fl ash red and green, the battery pack may be extremely hot, cold, or wet. Allow the battery pack to cool down, warm up, or dry out and then reinsert it. If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE service centre.

Two 18 V battery packs can be inserted into the charger at the same time, one on each side of the charger. It will then charge any other attached batteries in sequence in a clockwise rotation.

CHARGER LIGHT INDICATORS

| Continuous red| Charging
---|---|---
| Slow flashing green| Approaching full charge
| Continuous green| Charging is complete
| Fast flashing red| Battery pack or charger is too hot/cold – charging will begin/ resume when battery pack or charger reaches correct charging temperature
| Slow flashing red| Battery charge is pending – charging will begin when the first pack is fully charged
| Flashing red/green| Damaged or faulty battery pack or charger

USB POWER OUTLET

The outlet can be used to charge a cell phone, power an MP3 player or any other devices that use less than 2.1 A of DC electrical current.
