1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL
CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPER-
ATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MILWAUKEE
LI-ION COMBO CHARGERS AND MILWAUKEE
M12™ AND M18™ LI-ION BATTERIES.
2. BEFORE USING THE BATTERY PACK AND CHAR-
GER, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL, YOUR
TOOL OPERATOR'S MANUAL, AND ALL LABELS
ON THE BATTERY PACK, CHARGER AND TOOL.
3. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
CAUTION
CHARGE MILWAUKEE M12™ AND
M18™ RECHARGEABLE LI-ION BATTERIES
ONLY IN MILWAUKEE M12™ AND M18™ LI-ION
CHARGERS. Other types of batteries may burst caus-
ing personal injury and damage. Do not wire a battery
pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter.
Batteries will be permanently disabled or damaged.
4. USE MILWAUKEE LI-ION PACKS ONLY ON COM-
PATIBLE MILWAUKEE LI-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 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 ex-
plosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when
inserting or removing 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. ALWAYS PLACE THE DC CHARGER ON A LEVEL,
WELL VENTILATED SURFACE (e.g. not on a car
seat). If charging while the vehicle is in motion, the
driver should not attempt to install or remove any
battery until the vehicle has come to a stop and it is
safe to do so. Ensure the DC charger and battery
packs are secured when the vehicle is in motion.
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 damage 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, dam-
aged 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. CHARGER 48-59-1810 IS RATED FOR 24 VOLT DC
AND 12 VOLT DC. CHARGER 48-59-1812 IS RATED
FOR 120 VOLT AC ONLY. Charger must be plugged
into an appropriate receptacle.
11. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger or battery pack manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
12. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove battery
packs from unplugged chargers.
13. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
always unplug charger before cleaning or maintenance.
Do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug. Use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
14. 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.
15. 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).
16. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may
result in the risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to bat-
tery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE
service facility.
17. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a dam-
aged 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
vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, imme-
diately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical
attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
18. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A short-circuited battery
pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product
damage. 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.
19. DO NOT ALLOW FLUIDS TO FLOW INTO BATTERY
PACK. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawa-
ter, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
20. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER in
a cool, dry place. Do not store battery pack where tem-
peratures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in direct
sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the summer.
21. ALWAYS USE A SIDE HANDLE when using a HIGH
OUTPUT or HIGH DEMAND battery pack 6.0 Ah or
above; the output torque of some tools may increase.
If your drill/driver did not come with a side handle, visit
www. milwaukeetool.com for the appropriate accessory
handle.
22. RISK OF FIRE. DO NOT REPLACE
CAUTION
ANY VEHICLE FUSE WITH A RAT-
ING HIGHER THAN RECOMMENDED BY THE
VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. CHARGER 48-59-
1810 IS RATED TO DRAW 7 AMPERES FROM A
12/24 V VEHICLE OUTLET. Ensure that the electrical
system in your vehicle can supply this product without
causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be deter-
mined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which
protects the outlet is rated higher than 7 amperes. Infor-
mation on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found in
the vehicle operator's manual. If a vehicle fuse opens
repeatedly, do not keep on replacing it. The cause of the
overload must be found. On no account should fuses be
patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious
damage in the electrical circuit or cause fire.
