Do not try to charge non-rechargeable batteries with this
charger.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of
the charger (short circuit risk).
Never break open battery packs or chargers and store only in
dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
The battery clamps of the charger are fed by the mains supply.
Do not touch the tool with conducting objects.
Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace with a new
one.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages
or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by
authorised service centres.
The product is not intended to be used or cleaned by persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given
instructions concerning the safe use of the product by a person
legally responsible for their safety. They should be supervised
while using the product.
Children shall not use, clean or play with the product, which,
when not in use, should be secured out of their reach.
The product for indoor use only. Never expose the product to

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The charger charges 12V and 18V Milwaukee Li-Ion battery
packs.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal
use.
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase AC current and only to the
system voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible
to connect to sockets without an earthing contact as the design
conforms to Safety Class II.
LI-ION BATTERIES
The rechargeable batteries are partially charged. The LED
on the battery indicates the state of charge. If it is not used
for long periods, the rechargeable battery will switch to the
nonoperative state.
When fully discharged the rechargeable battery switches off
automatically (depth discharge not possible).
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery could become to high. If this happens, the battery will
shut down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
The state of charge can be read by pressing the button on
the rechargeable battery. The battery can be left in the electric
tool while the reading is taken but it must be switched off at
least one minute beforehand (otherwise the display will be
inaccurate). The number of LEDs illuminated indicates the
state of charge. A flashing LED indicates a max. power reserve
of 10%.
As a general principle, if the electric tool should fail to work
after inserting the rechargeable battery, then the battery should
be plugged into the charger. The displays on the battery and
charger will then provide information about the condition of the
battery.
In low temperatures work may continue at reduced output.
FUEL GAUGE
Use the fuel gauge to determine the battery pack’s remaining
run time. Press the fuel gauge button to display the lights. The
fuel gauge will light up for 2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of
charge is left, 1 light on the fuel gauge will fl ash slowly.
NOTE: If the fuel gauge doesn’t appear to be working, place
the battery pack on the charger and charge as needed.
Compared to NiCd battery pack types, MILWAUKEE® Lithium-
Ion battery packs deliver fade-free power for their entire run
