CHARGING AND USING BATTERY PACK
Charge only
MILWAUKEE 12, 14.4 and 18
Volt battery packs in chargers. Other
types of batteries may explode causing
personal injury and damage.
WARNING!
Inserting Battery Pack into Tool (Fig. 1)
To insert the battery pack into the tool, push in the release buttons and
slide it into the body of the tool.
Charge your battery pack before using your tool for the first time and
when your tool no longer performs with the power and torque needed for
the job. Full loading capacity of battery pack is only reached after
4 - 5 chargings. Never completely discharge the battery pack. Standard
charging time will vary according to the type of charger you use. The
charging time will also vary depending on the supply voltage and charge
needed. For example, if your battery pack does not require a full charge,
charging time will be less.
FOR SPECIFIC CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE READ THE
CHARGER INSTRUCTION SHEET SUPPLIED WITH YOUR CHARGER.
Battery packs are affected by temperature. Your battery pack will
perform best and have longest life if it is charged when the temperature
is between 60°-80°F (15°-27°C). Do not charge in temperatures below
40°F (5°C) or above 105°F (40°C). Under these conditions, capacity will
be reduced. See “Maintenance”.
NOTE:
Always use a fully charged battery pack. A low charge may cause
blade binding and kickback.
