Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a
regular maintenance program. After six months to one year, depending
on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles,
bearings,housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
Maintaining Tool
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged
battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does
not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
Maintaining Battery Pack
MILWAUKEE Nickel-Cadmium battery packs will operate for many years
and/or hundreds of cycles when they are maintained and used accord-
ing to these instructions.
A battery pack that is stored for six months without being used will
discharge itself. Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day.
Charge the battery every six months even if it is unused to maximize
battery life. Do not tape the trigger in the “ON” position and leave the tool
unattended as this may discharge the battery to a point where it will no
longer be able to recharge. Use a
MILWAUKEE battery pack only until it
no longer performs with the power and torque needed for your applica-
tion.
Store your battery pack in a cool, dry place. Do not store it where the
temperature may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in a vehicle or metal
building during the summer. High temperatures will overheat the battery
pack, reducing battery life. If it is stored for several months, the battery
pack will gradually lose its charge. One to three cycles of charging and
discharging through normal use will restore the capacity of the battery
pack. During the life of the battery pack, the operating time between
charges becomes shorter. If the operating time becomes extremely short
after a proper charge, the usable life of the battery pack has been
reached and it should be replaced.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents. Keep tool handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth
to clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain cleaning agents
and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlori-
nated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Disposing of Nickel-Cadmium Battery Packs
Nickel-Cadmium battery packs are recyclable. Under various state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal
waste stream. Dispose of your battery pack according to federal, state
and local regulations.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to the nearest
service center listed on the back cover of this operator's manual.
