Keep your battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. After six months to one year, depending on use,
return the battery pack and charger to a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for:
Electrical inspection
Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
Maintaining Battery Pack
MILWAUKEE
Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride battery packs will
operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when they are
maintained and used according 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 tool's 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 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
To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow
inside them.
WARNING!
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC Battery Recycling Seals on your tool battery packs indicate that

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. Return the battery pack to the nearest
MILWAUKEE
Branch Office/
Service Center or dispose of your battery pack according to federal, state
and local regulations.

Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents. Keep tool handles clean,

solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these
include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of explosion, never burn a battery pack even
if it is damaged, dead or completely discharged.
