1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS OP-
ERATOR’S MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MILWAUKEE LI-ION BATTERY PACKS
AND THE MILWAUKEE LI-ION CHARGER.
2. BEFORE USING THE BATTERY PACK AND
CHARGER, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MAN-
UAL, YOUR TOOL OPERATOR’S MANUAL,
AND ALL LABELS ON THE BATTERY PACK,
CHARGER AND TOOL.
3. CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
CHARGE MILWAUKEE 28 VOLT LITHIUM-
ION PACKS ONLY IN THIS MILWAUKEE 28
VOLT LITHIUM-ION CHARGER.
Other types of
chargers may cause personal injury or damage.
Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply
plug or car cigarette lighter. Battery packs will be
permanently disabled or damaged.
4. USE MILWAUKEE M28
™
AND V28
®
LITHIUM-ION
PACKS ONLY ON COMPATIBLE MILWAUKEE
M28
™
AND V28
®
LITHIUM-ION TOOLS.
Use with
other tools may result in a risk of fire, electric shock
or personal injury.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not
charge battery pack in rain, snow, damp or wet
locations.
Do not use battery pack or charger in
the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous
fumes, dust or flammable materials) because
sparks may be generated when inserting or remov-
ing battery pack, possibly causing fire.
6. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
Do
not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow
proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open
flames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases
may explode.
7. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC ONLY.
Charger must be plugged into an appropriate
receptacle.
8. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD.
When unplugging
charger, pull plug rather than cord to reduce the
risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord.
Never carry charger by its cord. Keep cord from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure cord will not
be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to dam
-
age or stress. Do not use charger with damaged
cord or plug. Have a damaged charger replaced
immediately.
9. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
Using the
wrong, damaged or improperly wired extension
cord could result in the risk of fire and electrical
shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger
extension cord with pins that are the same number,
size and shape as the pins on the charger. Make
sure that the extension cord is in good electrical
condition.
10. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the battery charger or battery pack manufac-
turer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER
when not in use. Remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
,
always unplug charger before cleaning or main-
tenance. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY
PACKS.
Battery packs may explode, causing per
-
sonal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials
are created when battery packs are burned.
14. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE
battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run
over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with
a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
15. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
Incorrect reassembly
may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or
exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged,
take it to a
MILWAUKEE
service facility.
16. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS
BURNS.
Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or
mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery
chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to
dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids,
wash with soap and water and rinse with vin-
egar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,
immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and
seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of
contaminated clothing.
17. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
A battery pack will
short circuit if a metal object makes a connection
between the positive and negative contacts on the
battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near
anything that may cause a short circuit, such as
coins, keys or nails in your pocket. Do not allow
fluids to flow into battery pack. Corrosive or con
-
ductive fluids, such as seawater, certain indus
-
trial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing
products, etc., can cause a short circuit. A short
circuited battery pack may cause fire, personal
injury, and product damage.
18. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHAR-
GER
in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery
pack where temperatures may exceed 120°F
(50°C) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or
metal building during the summer.
