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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
10. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong, damaged or improperly wired extension cord could result

personal injury, and product damage. 20. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY RULES
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
WARNING Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

Cold Weather Operation MILWAUKEE® Li-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.
WARNING injury, and product damage due to
a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery

as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and
bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit. 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 48°C). MILWAUKEE® Li-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 plosion, never

risk of injury or exburn or incinerate a

battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or com-

pletely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes

and materials are created.

Disposing of MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion Battery Packs
MILWAUKEE® Li-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.

SUPER CHARGER

WARNING

Charge only MILWAUKEE® M18TM and M12TM Li-Ion batteries in this

MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion charger. Other types of bat-

teries may cause personal injury and damage.

When to Charge the Battery Pack with this MILWAUKEE® Charger Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging when convenient for you and your job. MILWAUKEE® batteries 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. · starting a big job or long day of use. ·The only time it is necessary to charge the MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion battery pack is when the battery pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly,

cut, drilling a hole, or driving a fastener. Charge the battery pack as needed.

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 battery pack and reinsert. If the light indicator still does not come on, remove pack(s) and unplug charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug charger back in and insert pack. If after these attempts the light indicator still does not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility.

Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack The charger has advanced electronics that adjust the charge rate based on battery temperature. Hot or cold batteries may take longer to charge. When the battery pack temperature is outside the normal

Powering the Charger with an Inverter or Generator
The charger will operate with most 220-240V gen-
erators and inverters rated at 500 Watts or higher.

Maintenance and Storage Store your charger in a cool, dry place. As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove batteries when not in use. No battery pack damage will occur, however, if the charger and battery pack are left plugged in.

Repairs The charger has no serviceable parts.

Mounting to the Wall

Use the wall mount guides to mark the hanging

points.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the

battery from the charger before performing any

maintenance. Never disassemble the battery or

charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility

for ALL repairs.

To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never

immerse your battery 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 am-

around batteries, charger, or tools.
