CHARGER OPERATION
Charge only MILWAUKEE
®
M18™
Lithium-Ion batteries in this
MILWAUKEE
®
Lithium-Ion charger. Other types
of batteries may cause personal injury and
damage.
To charge the battery pack, connect the light to AC
power and insert a battery pack. The light will
remain operational when the battery pack is
charging. 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
®
Lithium-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
®
Lithium-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.
Plug the light into a 230-240V outlet. The battery
pack will not charge if the Light is not plugged in.
Align the battery pack with the bay and slide the
battery pack into the charger as far as possible.
If the light indicator flashes red and green, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.
Remove the pack and reinsert. If the problem
persists, contact a MILWAUKEE
®
service facility.
Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the
light indicator still does not come on, contact a
