Transporting Lithium Batteries; Operation; Maintenance - Milwaukee M18 FFN Original Instructions Manual

To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
"For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods
Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in
accordance with local, national and international provisions
and regulations.
• The user can transport the batteries by road without
further requirements.
• Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third
parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations.
Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be
carried out by appropriately trained persons and the
process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and
insulated to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement
within packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.

OPERATION

There are two ways for working with this nailer (see also
picture section):
Single Sequential Actuation:
Drive the fastener by pulling the trigger.
Contact (Bump) Actuation:
Hold the trigger and drive the fastener by pushing the nailer
against the workpiece.
Reload Indicator
To indicate that the magazine is almost empty of fasteners
(about 4-5 left), the workpiece contact will not compress,
preventing operation under usual pressure. Install more
fasteners to continue working.
Setting the Depth of Drive (see picture section)
Know what is behind your workpiece. A fastener could travel
through the workpiece and out the other side, striking a
bystander and causing serious injury. Lower the depth of
drive to prevent the fastener from being pushed all the way
through the workpiece.
CLEARING A JAMMED FASTENER
Most jams are caused by a fastener or part of a fastener
wedging between the driver blade and the nail guide.
Fastener strips with an incorrect collation angle or the wrong
fastener gauge may cause continuous jamming.
To clear the jam:
1. Remove battery pack.
2. WARNING! Always point the tool away from yourself
and others when installing or removing fasteners. Failure
to do so could result in injury.
3. Remove fastener strip from magazine.
4. Remove the fastener using needle-nose pliers. If
necessary, remove magazine from tool.
