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

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 ammable or combustible solvents around battery packs, charger, or tools.
