WARNING!
To reduce the risk of explosion,
never burn a battery pack even if
it is damaged, dead or completely
discharged.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal
injury, always unplug the charger
and remove the battery pack from
the charger or tool before per-
forming any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool, battery
pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for
ALL repairs.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal
injury and damage, never
immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in liquid or allow a liquid
to flow inside them.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger
in good repair by adopting a regular main-
tenance 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
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
battery packs will operate
for many years and/or hundreds of cycles
when they are maintained and used ac-
cording 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 application.
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 sev-
eral months, the battery pack will gradu-
ally 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 be-
comes shorter. If the operating time be-
comes extremely short after a proper
charge, the usable life of the battery pack
has been reached and it should be replaced.
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 in-
clude gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner,
paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents con-
taining ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
