Do not try to charge non-rechargeable batteries with this

charger.

Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short

circuit risk).

No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of

the charger (short circuit risk).

Never break open battery packs or chargers and store only in

dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.

Do not touch the tool with conducting objects.

Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace by a new one.

Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or

material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by

authorised Service Agents.

Always place the charger on a level, well ventilated surface

(e.g. not on a car seat).

Do not place anything, such as a jacket, over the charger and

battery.

If charging while the vehicle is motion, the driver should not

attempt to install or remove any battery until the vehicle has

come to a stop and it is safe to do so.

Ensure the charger and battery packs are secured when the

vehicle is in motion.

This appliance is not intended to be

used or cleaned by persons with

reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience or

knowledge, unless they have been

given instructions concerning the

safe use of the appliance by a

shall not use, clean or play with this

appliance, which when not in use

should be secured out of their reach.

Warning! To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, personal injury, and product

damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery

pack or charger in ﬂ uid or al-low a ﬂ uid to ﬂ ow inside them.

Corrosive or conductive ﬂ uids, such as seawater, certain

industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products,

etc., Can cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

This Milwaukee charger charges 12V, 14.4 and 18 V Milwaukee

Li-Ion battery packs.

For mobile use, the charger can be connected with an on-

board network (car) with a d.c. voltage of 12V or 24V.

The charger recognises the voltage, manual adjustment is not

necessary.

Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal

use.

LI-ION BATTERIES

The rechargeable batteries are partially charged. The LED on

the battery indicates the state of charge.

If it is not used for long periods, the rechargeable battery will

switch to the non-operative state.

When fully discharged the rechargeable battery switches oﬀ

automatically (depth discharge not possible).

Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the

battery could become too high. If this happens, the battery will

shut down.

Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.

The state of charge can be read by pressing the button on the

rechargeable battery. The battery can be left in the electric tool

while the reading is taken but it must be switched oﬀ at least

one minute beforehand (otherwise the display will be

inaccurate). The number of LEDs illuminated indicates the state

of charge. A ﬂ ashing LED indicates a max. power reserve of

10%.

As a general principle, if the electric tool should fail to work

after inserting the rechargeable battery, then the battery should

be plugged into the charger. The displays on the battery and

charger will then provide information about the condition of the

battery.

In low temperatures work may continue at reduced output.

CHARACTERISTICS

After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the

battery will automatically be charged (red control lamp is

illuminated continuously)

When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger

(ﬂ ashing red lamp), charging will begin automatically once the

battery reaches the correct charging temperature (0°C...65°C).

The max. charging current is ﬂ owing when the temperature of the

Li-Ion-battery is between 0°C and 65°C.

The battery’s charging time is between 1 min and 55 min (at

1,5 Ah), depending on the state of discharge.

Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger

changes from red to green.

It is not necessary to remove the battery after charging. The

battery can be stored permanently in the charger without the

danger of being overcharged.

If both LEDs ﬂ ash alternately then the rechargeable battery is

either not fully pushed in or there is a fault with the battery or

charger. Take the charger and battery out of use immediately

for safety reasons and have them inspected by a Milwaukee

customer service centre.

Both 12V and 14.4/18V battery packs can be inserted into the

charger at the same time, but they will be charged one after the

other. The ﬁ rst battery pack to be inserted will be the ﬁ rst one to

be charged. The red LED for the second battery pack will ﬂ ash

slowly to indicate that the charging process has not begun yet.

If two battery packs installed 12V and 14.4/18V before charger

power built, 14.4V/18V GBS platform port ﬁ rst priority to charge

once power built.

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.

Check with forwarding company for further advice
