GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fi re and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS OPER-
ATOR'S MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MILWAUKEE 12 V LI-ION BATTERIES
AND THE MILWAUKEE 12V LI-ION BATTERY
CHARGER.
2. BEFORE USING THE BATTERIES AND
CHARGER, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MAN-
UAL, YOUR TOOL OPERATOR'S MANUAL,
AND ALL LABELS ON THE BATTERY, CHAR-
GER AND TOOL.
3. CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF IN-
JURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE 12V LITHIUM-
ION BATTERIES ONLY IN MILWAUKEE 12V
LITHIUM-ION CHARGERS. Other types of
chargers may cause personal injury or dam-
age. Do not wire a battery to a power supply
plug or car cigarette lighter. Batteries will be
permanently disabled or damaged.
4. USE MILWAUKEE 12V LITHIUM-ION BATTER-
IES ONLY ON MILWAUKEE 12V LITHIUM-ION
TOOLS. Use with other tools may result in a
risk of fi re, electric shock or personal injury.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not charge battery in rain, snow, damp or wet
locations. Do not use battery or charger in the
presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous
fumes, dust or fl ammable materials) because
sparks may be generated when inserting or
removing battery, possibly causing fi re.
6. 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. Vented
gases may explode.
7. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When unplug-
ging 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 identi-
cal replacement parts (see "Maintenance").
8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UN-
LESS 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.
9. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC
ONLY. Charger must be plugged into an ap-
propriate receptacle.
10. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACH-
MENTS. Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by the battery charger or battery
manufacturer may result in a risk of fi re, electric
shock or personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove
battery from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, always unplug charger before clean-
ing or maintenance. Use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTER-
IES. Batteries may explode, causing personal
injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials
are created when batteries are burned.
14. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE bat-
teries. Do not use a battery 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).
15. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassem-
bly 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.
16. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS
BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes,
or mouth. If a damaged battery 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 vin-
egar. 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.

17. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery will short
circuit if a metal object makes a connection
between the positive and negative contacts on
the battery. Do not place a battery near anything
that may cause a short circuit, such as coins,
keys or nails in your pocket. A short circuited
battery may cause fi re and personal injury.
18. STORE YOUR BATTERY AND CHARGER in
a cool, dry place. Do not store battery where
temperatures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such
as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building
during the summer.
