Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fi re and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This operator's manual contains important safety and operating instructions for MILWAUKEE
18V and 28V Li-Ion battery packs, MILWAUKEE 18V NiCd battery packs, and the MILWAUKEE
Li-Ion/NiCd charger. Before using the battery packs and charger , read this operator's manual,
your tool operator's manual, and all labels on the battery pack, charger and tool.
1. CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY , CHARGE MIL WAUKEE LITHIUM-ION PACKS ONL Y IN MILWAUKEE
LITHIUM-ION CHARGERS. CHARGE
MILWAUKEE NiCd PACKS ONLY IN
MILWAUKEE NiCd CHARGERS. Other
types of chargers may cause personal
injury or damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or car
cigarette lighter. Battery packs will be
permanently disabled or damaged.
2. USE MILWAUKEE V28 LITHIUM-ION
PACKS ONLY ON MILWAUKEE V28
LITHIUM-ION TOOLS. USE MILWAUKEE
V18 LITHIUM-ION PACKS AND
MILWAUKEE 18 V NiCd PACKS ONL Y
ON MILWAUKEE 18 VOLT TOOLS.
Use with other tools may result in a
risk of fi re, electric shock or personal
injury.
3. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRON-MENTS. Do not charge battery pack in
rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do
not use battery pack or charger in the
presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or flammable
materials) because sparks may be
generated when inserting or removing
battery pack, possibly causing fi re.
4. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do not block charger vents. Keep
them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do
not allow smoking or open fl ames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may
explode.
5. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When
unplugging charger, pull plug rather
than cord to reduce the risk of damage
to the electrical plug and cord. Never
carry charger by its cord. Keep cord
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make
sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped
over or subjected to damage or stress.
Do not use charger with damaged cord
or plug. Have a damaged cord replaced
immediately with identical replacement
parts (see “Maintenance”).
6. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong, damaged or
improperly wired extension cord could
result in the risk of fi re and electrical
shock. If an extension cord must be used,
plug the charger into a properly wired
16 gauge or larger extension cord with
pins that are the same number, size and
shape as the pins on the charger. Make
sure that the extension cord is in good
electrical condition.
7. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC ONL Y . Charger must be plugged into
an appropriate receptacle.
8. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AT-TACHMENTS. Use of an attachment
not recommended or sold by the battery
charger or battery pack manufacturer
may result in a risk of fi re, electric shock
or personal injury.
9. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use.
Remove battery packs from unplugged
chargers.
10. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger before
cleaning or maintenance. Use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce
shock hazards.
11. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS. Battery packs may
explode, causing personal injury or damage. T oxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
12. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP , OR DAMAGE
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).
13. 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 facility.
14. BATTER Y CHEMICALS CAUSE SERI-OUS BURNS. Never allow contact with
skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use
rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose
of it. If 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 ush with water
for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
READ AND SA VE ALL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
15. 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. A short circuited battery pack
may cause fi re and personal injury.
16. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER in a cool, dry place. Do not
store battery pack where temperatures
may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in
direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the summer. Charger will
charge the battery when the battery's
internal temperature is between 14°F
(-10°C) and 150°F (65°C). When the
battery temperature is outside that
range, charging will not occur.

MILWAUKEE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK OPERATION
Fuel Gauge
Use the Fuel Gauge to determine the battery
pack's remaining run time. Press the Fuel
Gauge button to display the lights. The Fuel
Gauge will stay lit for two seconds.
Approximate Run
Time Remaining
33-54%
10-32%
Less than 10% if bottom light is fl ashing
NOTE: If the Fuel Gauge doesn't appear to
be working, place the battery pack on the
charger and charge as needed.
78-100%
55-77%
Unlike other battery pack types, MILWAUKEE
Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free
power for their entire run time. The tool
will not experience a slow, gradual loss of
power as you work. To signal to you that the
battery pack is at the end of its run time and
needs to be charged, power to the tool will
drop quickly. When this happens, remove
the tool from the workpiece and charge the
battery pack as needed. If the tool begins to
"pulse", but not run, charge the battery pack
immediately.
NOTE: Immediately after using the battery
pack, the Fuel Gauge may display a lower
charge than it will if checked a few minutes
later. The battery cells "recover" some of their
charge after resting.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend
its life, the battery pack's intelligent circuit
will turn off the battery pack if its internal
temperature becomes too high. This could
happen in extremely high torque, binding
and stalling situations. The pack must be
placed on the charger to turn it back on.
The charger's light indicator will fl ash red,
indicating that the pack is too hot. Once the
light is continuously red, the pack has cooled
and can be used again.
Cold Weather Operation
The MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery pack
can be used in temperatures down to -4°F.
When the battery pack is very cold, it may
"buzz" for the fi rst minute of use to warm itself
up. Put the battery pack on a tool and use
the tool in a light application. After about a
minute, the pack will have warmed itself up
and operate normally.
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery pack or cordless
tools to water or rain, or allow them to get
wet. This could damage the tool and battery
pack. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or
lubricate your battery pack. The plastic casing will become brittle and crack, causing a
risk of injury.
Store battery packs at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp
locations where corrosion of terminals may
occur. As with other battery pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 120° F). MILWAUKEE Lith-
ium-Ion battery packs maintain their charge
during storage longer than other battery pack
types. After about six months of storage,
charge the pack 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 Lithium-Ion
Battery Packs
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are
more environmentally friendly than some
other types of power tool battery packs (e.g.,
nickel-cadmium). Always dispose of your
battery pack according to federal, state and
local regulations. Contact a recycling agency
in your area for recycling locations.
Even discharged battery packs contain some
energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape
to cover the terminals to prevent the battery
pack from shorting, which could cause a fi re
or explosion.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see
"Symbology") on your tool battery packs
indicate that MILWAUKEE has arranged
for the recycling of that battery pack with
the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery
pack's useful life, return the battery pack to a
MILWAUKEE Branch Offi ce/Service Center
or the participating retailer nearest you. For
more information, visit the RBRC web site
at www.rbrc.org.
MILWAUKEE NiCd BATTERY PACK OPERATION
MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when they
are used, charged, and stored according to these instructions. Properly using, charging, and
storing your battery pack can greatly extend its life.
Charge the new battery pack overnight before use to allow the cells
to become fully charged. New
battery packs are not fully charged. Two
to ten normal charging/discharging cycles
may be required before the pack can take
its maximum charge.
Never completely discharge the
battery pack. MILWAUKEE battery
packs do not develop a "memory"
when charged after only a partial discharge.
Taping-on triggers or leaving work lights on
for extended periods to completely discharge
the battery pack will reduce its life by upsetting the electrochemical balance and can
result in short-circuiting of the battery.
Do not use or charge batteries in
cold or hot places (below 41°F (5°C)
or above 113°F (45°C)). Temperature
extremes reduce the ability for battery pack
cells to hold a charge. Do not store batteries
where the temperature may exceed 120°F
(50°C), such as in a vehicle or metal building
during the summer.
To avoid overheating to a battery pack,
allow cordless tools cool down between
high torque drilling/cutting applications.
The increased energy discharge rate will
heat the battery pack cells faster than the
cells can release the heat. This could damage the cells.
After use, allow a hot battery pack to cool
to room temperature before inserting it into
the charger. If a hot battery is put on a charger, charging will not begin until the battery
has cooled to a safe temperature. See the
charger section of this manual for more information on charging temperatures. Charging
a hot battery will damage the cells.
Never forcibly heat up or cool down batteries. This will damage some cells in the
pack, causing them to not be able to hold
a charge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool
for charging when the tool can no longer
perform its intended function (i.e., drilling,
cutting, etc.).
After the battery pack has reached a
full charge, it will continue to receive
a trickle charge to ensure capacity is
maintained.
Occasionally (once a week) leave the
batteries on the charger overnight to help
maintain cell balance.
Do not store the battery on the charger
(for more than 24 hours); this could reduce battery life.
Never leave batteries on chargers where
power interruptions are common. Damage
to the battery cells could occur.
Store batteries at room temperature away from moisture. Do not
store in damp locations where corro-
sion of terminals may occur.
Do not submerge your battery or cordless tools in water. This will damage the
battery and tool.
Charge unused batteries overnight at
least every six months to maximize battery life. Unused batteries discharge at a
rate of about 1% per day and will be fully
discharged after six months. For batteries
stored for a long time, two to ten normal
charging cycles may be required before the
pack is fully charged.
Do not use oil or solvents to clean or
lubricate your battery pack. The plastic
casing will become brittle and crack, causing
a risk of injury.

Maintenance and Storage
MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for
many years and/or hundreds of cycles when
they are maintained and used according to
these instructions.
A battery pack that is stored for six months
without being used will discharge itself.
Charge the battery every six months even if
it is unused to maximize battery life. Do not
tape the trigger in the “ON” position and leave
the tool unattended as this may discharge
the battery to a point where it will no longer
be able to recharge. Use a MILWAUKEE
battery pack only until it no longer performs
with the power and torque needed for your
application.
Store your battery pack in a cool, dry place.
Do not store it where the temperature may
exceed 120°F (50°C) such as a vehicle or
metal building during the summer. High
temperatures will overheat the battery pack,
reducing battery life. If it is stored for several
months, the battery pack will gradually lose
its charge. One to three cycles of charging
and discharging through normal use will
restore the capacity of the battery pack. During the life of the battery pack the operating
time between charges becomes shorter. If
the operating time becomes extremely short
after a proper charge, the usable life of the
battery pack has been reached and it should
be replaced.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explosion,
never burn a battery pack even if
it is damaged, dead or completely
discharged.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see
"Symbology") on your tool battery packs
indicate that MILWAUKEE has arranged
for the recycling of that battery pack with
the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery
pack's useful life, return the battery pack to a
MILWAUKEE Branch Offi ce/Service Center
or the participating retailer nearest you. For
more information, visit the RBRC web site
at www.rbrc.org.
Disposing of NiCd Battery Packs
Nickel-Cadmium battery packs are recyclable. Under various state and local laws, it
may be illegal to dispose of this battery into
the municipal waste stream. Dispose of your
battery pack according to federal, state and
local regulations.
CHARGER OPERATION
WARNING
Charge only MILWAUKEE 18-28V
Lithium-Ion battery packs and
MILWAUKEE 18V NiCd battery packs
in the MILWAUKEE Li-Ion/NiCd Bat-
tery Charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and
damage.
When to Charge the Battery Pack
For MILWAUKEE NiCd Battery Packs:
Charge your battery pack overnight before
you use it for the fi rst time and then when
your tool no longer performs with the power
and torque needed for the job. Never completely discharge the battery pack.
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 2-10 chargings and dischargings.
Battery packs which have not been used
for some time should be recharged before
use.
For MILWAUKEE Li-Ion Battery Packs:
Remove the battery pack from the tool for
charging when convenient for you and your
job. MILWAUKEE battery packs 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 bat-
tery pack.
• You can "Top-Off" your battery pack's
charge before starting a big job or long
day of use.
• The only time it is necessary to charge
the MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery
pack is when the pack has reached
the end of its charge. To signal the end
of charge, power to the tool will drop
quickly, allowing you just enough power
to fi nish making a cut, drilling a hole, or
driving a fastener. Charge the battery
pack as needed.
How to Charge the Battery Pack
Place the battery pack onto the bay by sliding the pack on from the top of the bay. The
red light will come on, either fl ashing (pack
is too hot or cold) or continuous (pack is
charging).
• For MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs,
the Fuel Gauge lights on the battery
pack are displayed as the pack is being
charged, indicating how fully charged
the pack is.
• A fully discharged pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will
charge in about an hour (For Li-Ion,
between 32°F and 150°F; for NiCd, between 32°F and 140°F). Heavily cycled
battery packs may take longer to charge
completely.
• After charging is complete, the continuous green light will come on. For
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion packs, the Fuel
Gauge lights will go off. The Fuel Gauge
button won't work when the pack is on
the charger.
• The charger will keep the battery pack
fully charged if it is left on the charger.
• If the light indicator flashes red and
green, check that the battery pack is
fully seated into the bay. Remove the
pack and reinsert. If the light continues
to fl ash red and green, the battery pack
may be extremely hot or cold, or wet.
Allow the pack to cool down, warm up, or
dry out and then reinsert. 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 into the bay. Remove the pack and
reinsert. If the light indicator still does
not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE
89
service facility.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
The Red Flashing Indicator light on the
charger indicates that the battery pack
temperature is outside the charging range.
Once the pack is within the acceptable range,
normal charging will take place and the red

Maintenance and Storage
Store your charger in a cool, dry place.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug
battery chargers and remove battery packs
when not in use. No battery pack damage
will occur, however , if the charger and battery
pack are left plugged in.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the charger and remove
the battery pack from the charger
before performing any maintenance.
Never disassemble the battery pack
or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for ALL repairs.
To reduce the risk of injury and
damage, never immerse your battery
pack or charger in liquid or allow a
liquid to fl ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean out dust and debris from charger vents
and electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean the battery pack and charger,
keeping away from all electrical contacts.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts.
Some of these include gasoline, turpentine,
lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia. Never use
fl ammable or combustible solvents around
battery packs, charger, or tools.
