SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The battery-operated electro-hydraulic knockout tool

stainless steel with the dedicated dies and punches.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which 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 life-time, 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.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the
household refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee
Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to protect
our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal
objects (short circuit risk).
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System
M18 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from
other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and
store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under
extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of

thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately
seek medical attention.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery
section of the charger (short circuit risk).
