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.
The battery clamps of the charger are fed by the mains supply. 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.
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 person legally
responsible for their safety. They should be
supervised whilst using the appliance. Children
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 allow
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 charger charges 12V, 14.4V and18V Milwaukee Li-Ion battery packs.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase AC current and only to the system voltage
indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an
earthing contact as the design conforms to safety class II.

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 to 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 20 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.
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.
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.
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.
LIGHT INDICATORS
Continuous red Charging
Slow fl ashing green Approaching full charge
Continuous green Charging is complete
Fast fl ashing red
Battery is too hot/cold - Charging will
begin when battery reaches correct
charging temperature
Slow fl ashing red
Battery charge is pending - Charging
will begin when the fi rst pack is fully
charged
Flashing red/green Damaged or faulty battery pack
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
