IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery chargers. Before using the battery charger, read this manual as well as any labels on the charger, battery pack and tool.

1. CAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge only

MILWAUKEE 9.6, 12, 14.4 and 18 Volt Power Plus Battery packs in this charger. Other types of batteries may explode, causing personal injury or damage.

2. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use charger 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 fire.

3. 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 pack. Vented gases may explode.

4. 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).

5. DO NOT USE CHARGER OR BATTERY PACK IF it has received a

sharp blow, been dropped or damaged in any way. Do not disassemble. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to battery fluids. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE service facility.

6. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC ONLY. Charger must be

plugged into an appropriate receptacle.

7. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS. Use of an attachment

not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong, damaged or improperly wired exten-

sion cord could result in the risk of fire 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.

9. DO NOT BURN, MUTILATE OR DISASSEMBLE BATTERY PACK.

The battery pack can explode in a fire. Mutilation may expose battery fluids, causing burns.

10. BATTERY FLUIDS CAUSE SERIOUS CHEMICAL BURNS. Never al-

low contact with skin or eyes. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery fluids, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing. If eyes are affected, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

11. 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 or keys in your pocket. A short circuited battery pack may cause fire and personal injury.

12. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use.

13. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger

before cleaning or maintenance, turning off controls will not reduce this risk. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.

14. 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 a vehicle or metal building during the summer. Charger will charge the battery at the most rapid rate when the temperature is between 41°F (5°C) and 113°F (45°C). When the battery temperature is outside that range, charging will take longer.

OPERATION

WARNING!

Charge only MILWAUKEE 9.6, 12,

14.4 and 18 Volt Power Plus battery packs in this charger. Other types of batteries may explode causing personal injury and damage.

When to charge the Power Plus battery pack

Charge your battery pack before you use your tool for the first time and 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 4-5 chargings and dischargings. Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.

Standard charging times

Standard charging time is approximately one hour. Charging time varies depending on the battery temperature, charge needed and the type of battery pack being charged. For example, if the battery pack does not require a full charge, the charging time will be less than one hour.

Effects of temperature on charging

Battery packs are affected by temperature. The charger will sense battery temperature and will charge the battery at the most rapid rate when its temperature is between 41°F (5°C) and 113°F (45°C). When the battery temperature is outside of this range, charging will occur at a slower rate to prevent damage to battery.

Automatic start

When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger, charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches the correct charging temperature.

Maintenance charge

Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. The Maintenance Charge feature keeps the battery pack fully charged when the battery pack is stored in a charger that is plugged in. The Maintenance Charge automatically begins after the battery pack is fully charged. During Maintenance Charge, the control light will be off.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for:

 Lubrication  Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles,

bearings, housing, etc.)  Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, motor)  Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical

operation

Maintaining tool

If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, return the tool, charger and battery pack to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs (see Repairs).

Maintaining battery pack

MILWAUKEE Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride 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. Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. Charge the battery every six months even if it is unused to maximize battery life. Do not tape the tool's 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. If the battery pack will not recharge, leave the battery removed from the charger for 24 hours. This allows the battery pack to recover from deep discharge. Reinsert the battery pack onto the charger to recharge to full capacity. 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 in 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 injury and damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool, battery pack and charger since 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 tools.
