pack before resuming operation.
CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
Check the safety valve every day.
1. Install the battery pack.
2. Place the auto on/off switch in the ON position, and allow
the tank to fill. The compressor turns off when the pressure
reaches the cut-out pressure.
3. Place the auto on/off switch in the OFF position.
4. Pull the ring on the safety valve to release the air pressure
for 3–5 seconds. Release the ring. The safety valve must
reset and hold pressure before all the compressed air is
exhausted from the tank or pressure vessel.
If air continues to escape after the safety valve is closed,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
Do not tamper with the safety valve. The safety valve
automatically releases air if the air tank pressure exceeds
the cutout pressure. The safety valve must work properly
when operating the air compressor. If the safety valve is stuck
open or does not open when the ring is pulled, contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
BATTERIES
Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to
heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be fully
charged after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
● Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
27°C and away from moisture.
● Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition.
● Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit
situations that cause high current draw, the product vibrates
for about 2 seconds and then the product turns o
ff .
To reset the product, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery could become too high. If this happens, the battery
shuts down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
