SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL
CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MILWAUKEE
®
LI-ION
COMBO CHARGERS AND MILWAUKEE
®
M12™ AND
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 INJURY,
CHARGE MILWAUKEE
®
M12™ AND M18™
RECHARGEABLE LI-ION BATTERIES ONLY IN
MILWAUKEE
®
M12™ AND 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
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.
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. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gasses 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. If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
8. 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.
9. CHARGER M12-18AC IS RATED FOR 12 Volt or 24
Volt DC ONLY. CHARGER M12-18FC IS RATED FOR
220-240 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
CAUTION
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 maintenance. Do not
allow water to flow into AC/DC plug. Use a Residual
Current Device (RCD) to reduce shock hazards.
13. 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.
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 exposure 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 fludis, 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.
17. 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.
18. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER in a
cool, dry place. Do not store battery pack where
temperatures may exceed 50°C (120°F) such as in direct
sunlight, a vehicle or metal build-ing during the summer.
19. ALWAYS USE A SIDE HANDLE when using a 9.0 Ah or
higher capacity battery pack; the output torque of some
tools may increase. If your drill/driver did not come with a
side handle, visit www.milwaukeetools.com.au /
www.milwaukeetools.co.nz for the appropriate accessory
handle.
