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 time. The tool will not experience a
slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To signal
the end of discharge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will
flash quickly for 2-3 seconds and the tool will not run.
Charge the battery pack.
NOTE:
Immediately after using the battery pack,
the Fuel Gauge may display a lower charge than it
will if checked a few minutes later. The battery cells
"recover" some of their charge after resting.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend its life, the
battery pack’s intelligent circuit monitors current draw
and temperature. In extremely high torque, binding,
stalling, and short circuit situations, the battery pack
will turn OFF the tool if the current draw becomes
too high. All the fuel gauge lights will flash. Release
the trigger and restart.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal tem-
perature of the battery could become too high. If
this happens, the fuel gauge lights will flash in an
alternating pattern and the tool will not run. Allow the
battery to cool down.

GROUNDING
DANGER
Improperly connecting the ground-
ing wire can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided with the tool. Never remove the grounding
prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before
use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools (Three-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet
(See Figure A). If the tool should electrically mal
-
function or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically
“live” terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appro-
Fig. A
priate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools (Two-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards of Underwrit-
ers Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian
Fig. B Fig. C
Standard Association and the National
Electrical Code. Double Insulated tools
may be used in either of the 120 volt
outlets shown in Figures B and C.
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge
cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, be sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. If you are using
one extension cord for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffix “W” to indicate that it is
acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
Cold Weather Operation
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are designed
to operate in temperatures below freezing. When
the battery pack is too cold, it may need to warm up
before normal use. Put the battery on a tool and use
the tool in a light application. It may “buzz” for a short
time until it warms up. When the buzzing stops, use
the tool normally.
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery pack or cordless tools
to water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This could
damage the tool and battery pack. Do not use oil or
solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack. The
plastic casing will become brittle and crack, causing
a risk of injury.
Store battery packs at room temperature away from
moisture. Do not store in damp locations where cor
-
rosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the
pack is stored for long periods of time at high tem-
peratures (over 120° F). MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion
battery packs maintain their charge during storage
longer than other battery pack types. After about a
year of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Transport
Personal transport of Li-Ion battery packs is allowed
when done in accordance with these warnings and
instructions. The proper classification, packaging, la
-
beling, marking, and documentation requirements for
shipping Li-Ion batteries is dependent upon whether
the particular batteries are rated greater than or less
than 100 Wh
(Watt Hours can be found on the battery
pack nameplate)
. Generally, Li-Ion batteries rated
100 Wh or less are “excepted” from certain Class 9
DG requirements. Always check compliance of Li-Ion
battery consignments against the current regulations
governing the chosen mode of transport. When in
doubt, contact the carrier or other trained Dangerous
Goods professional to confirm acceptability. Li-Ion
packs are shipped under classification UN 3480
(battery only) or UN 3481 (batteries contained in or
packed with equipment).
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or ex
-
plosion, never burn or incinerate
a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or
completely discharged. When burned, toxic
fumes and materials are created.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion
Battery Packs
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are more
environmentally friendly than some other types of
power tool battery packs (e.g., nickel-cadmium).
Always dispose of your battery pack according to
federal, state and local regulations. Contact a re
-
cycling agency in your area for recycling locations.
Even discharged battery packs contain some energy.
Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting,
which could cause a fire or explosion.
