CHARGER OPERATION

WARNING Charge only MILWAUKEE

M18™ Lithium-Ion battery packs in the

MILWAUKEE

Li-Ion Battery Charger. Other

types of batteries may cause personal injury

and damage. Battery pack and charger are

not compatible with V™-technology or NiCd

systems.

When to Charge MILWAUKEE

Li-Ion Battery

Packs

Remove the battery pack from the tool for

charging when convenient for you and your job.

MILWAUKEE

battery packs do not develop a

"memory" when charged after only a partial dis-

charge. 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

Lithium-Ion battery pack is when

the 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 ¿ nish

making a cut, drilling a hole, or driving a fastener.

Charge the battery pack as needed.

How to Charge the Battery Pack

Plug the Radio Charger into a 120V outlet. The

battery packs will not charge if the Radio Charger

is not plugged in. Place the battery pack onto the

bay by sliding the pack on from the top of the bay.

The red light will turn on, either À ashing (pack is

too hot or cold) or continuous (pack is charging).

• A fully discharged pack with an internal tempera-

ture between 32°F and 104°F will charge in 30-Min

or 1-Hour, depending on the battery pack.

• Heavily cycled battery packs may take longer to

charge completely.

• The Fuel Gauge lights on the battery pack are

displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating

how fully charged the pack is.

• After charging is complete, the continuous green

light will turn on and the fuel gauge will turn off.

• The charger will keep the battery pack fully

charged if it is left on the charger.

• If the light indicator À ashes 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.

• If the light indicator does not come on, check

that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.

Remove the pack and reinsert. If the light indicator

still does not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE

service facility.

Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack

The Red À ashing indicator light on the charger indi-

cates that the battery pack temperature is outside

the charging range. Once the pack is within the

acceptable range, normal charging will take place

and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold

battery packs may take longer to charge.
