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 light up for 2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash slowly.

Less than 10% if bottom light is flashing
NOTE: If the Fuel Gauge doesn't appear to be working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as needed.
Compared to NiCd 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 the end of discharge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash quickly for 2-3 seconds and the tool will not run. Charge the battery pack.
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 monitors current draw and temperature. In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations, the battery pack will turn OFF the tool if the current draw becomes too high. All the fuel gauge lights will flash. Release the trigger and restart.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge lights will flash in an alternating pattern and the tool will not run. Allow the battery to cool down.

Cold Weather Operation
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are designed to operate in temperatures below freezing. When the battery pack is too cold, it may need to warm up before normal use. Put the battery on a tool and use the tool in a light application. It may “buzz” for a short time until it warms up. When the buzzing stops, use the tool 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 Lithium-Ion battery packs maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery pack types. After about a year 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 Li-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 fire 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 Office/Service Center or the participating retailer nearest you. For more information, visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.

CHARGER OPERATION
WARNING Charge only MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs in the MILWAUKEE Li-Ion Battery Charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and damage. Battery pack and charger are not compatible with V™-technology or NiCd
systems.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug.
AC/DC Charger (Cat. No. 2710-20)
To reduce the risk of damage to the charger, do not attempt to plug into both AC and DC outlets at the same time.
To use the AC/DC plug in a DC outlet, rotate the DC adapter out (A) and insert into a DC outlet. The AC plug blades should be folded in.
To use the AC/DC plug in an AC outlet, rotate the AC plug blades out (B) and insert into an AC outlet. The DC adapter should be folded in.

When to Charge 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 battery 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 finish 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 turn on, either flashing (pack is too hot or cold) or continuous (pack is charging).
•A fully discharged pack with an internal temperature between 32°F and 104°F will charge in 30-Min or 1-Hour, depending on the battery pack.
•Heavily cycled battery packs may take longer to charge completely.
•The Fuel Gauge lights on the battery pack are displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating how fully charged the pack is.
•After charging is complete, the continuous green light will turn on and the fuel gauge will turn off.
•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 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 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 light will be continuous. Hot or cold battery packs may take longer to charge.

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 flow 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 flammable or combustible solvents around battery packs, charger, or tools.
Repairs
The MILWAUKEE Li-Ion charger has no serviceable parts.
