1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL
CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPER-
ATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MILWAUKEE
LI-ION CHARGER CAT. NO. 48-59-1802 AND
MILWAUKEE M18™ LI-ION BATTERIES.
2. BEFORE USING THE BATTERY PACK AND
CHARGER, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL,
YOUR TOOL OPERATOR'S MANUAL, AND ALL
LABELS ON THE BATTERY PACK, CHARGER
AND TOOL.
3. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJU-
CAUTION
RY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE M18™
RECHARGEABLE LI-ION BATTERIES ONLY IN
MILWAUKEE M18™ LI-ION CHARGERS. Other
types of batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power
supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Batteries will be
permanently disabled or damaged.
4. USE MILWAUKEE LI-ION PACKS ONLY ON COM-
PATIBLE MILWAUKEE LI-ION TOOLS. Battery pack
and charger are not compatible with V™-technology
or NiCd systems. Use with other tools may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not
charge battery pack 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.
6. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do not
block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper
ventilation. Maintain a minimum one inch clearance to
all vents. Do not allow smoking or open flames near
a charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
7. 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 charger replaced immediately.
8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong, dam-
aged or improperly wired extension 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. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120-127 VOLT AC
ONLY. Charger must be plugged into an appropriate
receptacle.
10. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS. Use
of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger or battery pack manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
always unplug charger before cleaning or mainte-
nance. Do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug.
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to
reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY
PACKS. Battery packs may explode, causing per-
sonal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials
are created when battery packs are burned.
14. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack 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 reassembly
may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or expo-
sure 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 pack leaks battery chemicals, 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. If eyes are exposed to bat-
tery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20
minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and
dispose of contaminated clothing.
17. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A short-circuited
battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and
product damage. 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, keys
or nails in your pocket.
18. DO NOT ALLOW FLUIDS TO FLOW INTO BAT-
TERY PACK. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and
bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
19. 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
direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
20. ALWAYS USE A SIDE HANDLE when using a
HIGH OUTPUT or HIGH DEMAND battery pack
6.0 Ah or above; the output torque of some tools
may increase. If your drill/driver did not come with
a side handle, visit www. milwaukeetool.com for the
appropriate accessory handle.
