acid, wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case
of eye contact, rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and
immediately seek medical attention.

This powerbase is designed to drive approved application
heads of the MILWAUKEE brand.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal
use.
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
The battery pack has an overload protection that protects it
from being overloaded and helps to ensure long life.
Under extreme stress, the battery electronics turn off the
product automatically. To restart, turn the product off and then
on again. If the product does not start up again, the battery
pack may have discharged completely. In this case, it must be
recharged in the battery charger.
