Safety Warning

New batteries must be charged before fi rst use.
WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS OPERATOR’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 MANUAL, 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
®
LITHIUM-ION PACKS ONLY
IN THEIR MILWAUKEE
®
LITHIUM-ION CHARGER.
Other types of chargers may cause personal injury or
damage. Battery pack and charger are not compatible with V™-technology or NiCd systems. 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
®
LITHIUM-ION PACKS ONLY ON COMPATIBLE MILWAUKEE
®
LITHIUM-ION TOOLS.
Battery pack and charger are not compatible with V™-technology or NiCd systems. Use with other tools may
result in a risk of fi re, 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 fl ammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing battery pack, possibly causing fi re.
6. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper
. ed o lpventilation. Do not allow smoking or open fl ames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases may ex
7. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS. Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury
or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
8. 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).
9. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fi re or exposure to
battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE
®
service facility.
10. 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 fl uids, wash with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery
chemicals, immediately fl ush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of
contaminated clothing.
11. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
12. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery pack where
temperatures may exceed 50°C (120°F) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the
summe
r.
13. ALWAYS USE A SIDE HANDLE when using a 9.0 Ah or higher capacity battery pack; the output torque of
some tools may increase. If your drill/driver did not come with a side handle, visit
www.milwaukeetools.com.au for the appropriate accessory handle.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS
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 situ-
ations, the battery pack will turn OFF the tool if the current draw
becomes too high. All the fuel gauge lights will fl ash. Release
the trigger and restart.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge
lights will fl ash in an alternating pattern and the tool will not run.
Allow the battery to cool down.
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 corrosion 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 temperatures (over 49°C). 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 instruc-
tions. The proper classifi cation, packaging, l
abeling, 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.
Generally, Li-Ion batteries rated 100Wh 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 confi rm ac-
ceptability. Li-Ion packs are shipped under classifi cation UN 3480 (battery only) or UN3481 (batteries contained
in or packed with equipment).
Disposing of MILWAUKEE
®
Li-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 recycling 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 fi re or explosion.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR EXPLOSION, NEVER BURN OR INCINERATE A
BATTERY PACK EVEN IF IT IS DAMAGED, DEAD OR COMPLETELY DISCHARGED. WHEN
BURNED, TOXIC FUMES AND MATERIALS ARE CREATED.

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 conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, AND PRODUCT DAMAGE DUE TO
A SHORT CIRCUIT, NEVER IMMERSE YOUR TOOL, BATTERY PACK OR CHARGER IN FLUID OR
ALLOW A FLUID TO FLOW INSIDE THEM. CORROSIVE OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS, SUCH AS
SEAWATER, CERTAIN INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS, AND BLEACH OR BLEACH CONTAINING
PRODUCTS, ETC., CAN CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT.
