MILWAUKEE LI-ION BATTERY PACKS

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.

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 120°F). 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.

To reduce the risk of injury or explosion, never burn or incinerate a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and materials are created.

RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see "Symbology") on your tool battery packs indicate that MILWAUKEE has arranged for the recycling of that battery pack with the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery pack's useful life, return the battery pack to a MILWAUKEE Branch Office/Service Center or the participating retailer nearest you. For more information, visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.

MILWAUKEE LI-ION CHARGER

Charge only MILWAUKEE M12™
Li-Ion batteries in this MILWAUKEE Li-Ion charger. Other types of batteries 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.
You can "Top-Off" your battery pack's charge before 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, allowing you just enough power to finish making a cut, drilling a hole, or driving a fastener. Charge the battery pack as needed.

How to Charge the Battery Pack
Align the battery pack with the bay and slide the battery pack into the charger as far as possible. The red light will come on, either flashing quickly (battery pack is too hot or cold), flashing slowly (battery pack is waiting for another pack to finish charging) or continuous (pack is charging).

The 48-59-1204 charges four battery packs, in sequence, from left to right.
The next pack inserted in the charger will begin charging when the previous pack is fully charged. To skip a pack and move on to the next, press the skip button .
A fully discharged battery pack with an internal temperature in the normal range will charge in about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the battery pack.
Heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge completely.
After charging is complete, the continuous green light will come on.
If the light indicator flashes red and green, check that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay. Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the light continues to flash red and green, remove pack(s) and unplug charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug charger back in and insert pack. 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 Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger indicates that the battery pack temperature is outside the charging range. Once the battery pack is within the acceptable range, normal charging will take place and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold batteries may take longer to charge.

Li-Ion Charging Status
Battery Pack Temperature	Red Charger Indicator Light	Charging Status
Too Hot Normal Range Too Cold	Fast Flashing Continuous Fast Flashing	Not charging Normal charging Not charging

Powering the Charger with an Inverter or Generator
The charger will operate with most generators and inverters rated at 300 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.

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 ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around batteries, charger, or tools.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE M12™ RECHARGEABLE LI-ION BATTERIES ONLY IN MILWAUKEE M12™ 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.
USE MILWAUKEE LI-ION PACKS ONLY ON COMPATIBLE 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.
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.
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.
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.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong, damaged 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.
CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC ONLY. Charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
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.
UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger before cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY
PACKS. Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
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).
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE service facility.
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 battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
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, keys or nails in your pocket. Do not allow fluids to flow into battery pack. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit. A short circuited battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product damage.
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.
