WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or
explosion, never burn or incinerate a
battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or completely
discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and materials
are created.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE
®
Li-Ion Battery
MILWAUKEE
®
Li-Ion batteries are more environmentally
friendly than some other types of power tool batteries.
Always dispose of your battery according to federal, state
and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your
area for recycling locations.
Even discharged batteries contain some energy. Before
disposing, use electrical tape to cover the terminals to
prevent the battery from shorting, which could cause a fire
or explosion.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see "Symbology")
on your batteries indicate that MILWAUKEE
®
has
arranged for the recycling of that battery with the
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At
the end of your battery's useful life, return the battery to a
MILWAUKEE
®
Branch Office/Service Centre or the
participating retailer nearest you. For more information,
visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.
CHARGER
WARNING
Charge only REDLITHIUM
®
USB
batteries in the REDLITHIUM
®
USB
charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal
injury and damage.
How to Charge the Battery Pack
1. Plug your USB cable into a power source such as an AC
wall adaptor, computer or car port.
2. Insert the micro USB into the micro USB port.
3. Twist the charger cap and remove the cap.
4. Align the battery arrow with the charger arrow and insert
the battery completely.
5. Line up the arrows on the cap with the battery holder
and twist the cap to lock.
6. The indicator light will display:
Red Solid: Charging, 0-79% charged
Green Flashing: Charging, 80-99% charged
Green Solid: 100% Charged
Red/Green Flashing: Damaged or Faulty Battery
If the light indicator flashes red and green, check that
the battery is fully seated into the bay. Remove the
battery and reinsert. If the light continues to flash red
and green, the battery may be extremely hot or cold, or
wet. Allow the battery to cool down, warm up, or dry out
and then reinsert. If the problem persists, contact a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility.
Maintenance and Storage
Store your charger in a cool, dry place.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery
chargers and remove batteries when not in use. No
battery damage will occur, however, if the charger
and battery are left plugged in.
Cleaning
Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the
battery and charger, keeping away from all electrical
contacts. Certain cleaning agents and 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
batteries, charger, or tools.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the charger and remove the
battery from the charger before performing any
maintenance. The charger and battery have no
internal serviceable parts. Never disassemble the
battery or charger.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury and
damage, never immerse your
battery or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to
flow inside them.
Using the USB A Port
The USB A port can be used to charge a cell phone,
or other personal device that is in compliance with the
USB Standard. To turn on the USB, press the battery
button. The USB A port will remain on until it fully
charges the device before turning off automatically.
NOTE: USB A Port (for device charging) is shut down
when the battery is charging.
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery or cordless tools to water or
rain, or allow them to get wet. This could damage the tool
and battery. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate
your battery. The plastic casing will become brittle and
crack, causing a risk of injury.
Store batteries at room temperature away from moisture.
Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of
terminals may occur. As with other battery types,
permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for
long periods of time at high temperatures (over 50
o
C).
MILWAUKEE
®
Li-Ion batteries maintain their charge
during storage longer than other battery types. After about
a year of storage, charge the battery as normal.
