Do not try to charge non-rechargeable batteries with this charger.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit
risk).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
Never break open battery packs or chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
The battery clamps of the charger are fed by the mains supply. Do not
touch the tool with conducting objects.
Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace by a new one.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or
material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised
Service Agents.
This appliance is not intended to be used
or cleaned by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or
charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and

Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery
could become to high. If this happens, the battery will shut down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
The state of charge can be read by pressing the button on the
rechargeable battery. The battery can be left in the electric tool while
the reading is taken but it must be switched off at least one minute
beforehand (otherwise the display will be inaccurate). The number of
LEDs illuminated indicates the state of charge. A fl ashing LED
indicates a max. power reserve of 10%.
As a general principle, if the electric tool should fail to work after
inserting the rechargeable battery, then the battery should be plugged
into the charger. The displays on the battery and charger will then
provide information about the condition of the battery.
In low temperatures work may continue at reduced output.
CHARACTERISTICS
After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the battery
will automatically be charged (red control lamp is illuminated
continuously)
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger (fl ashing
red lamp), charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches
the correct charging temperature (0°C...65°C). The max. charging
current is fl owing when the temperature of the Li-Ion-battery is between
0°C and 65°C.
The battery's charging time is between 1 min and 20 min (at 1,5 Ah),
depending on the state of discharge.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger changes
from red to green.
Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging when convenient
for you and your job. Milwaukee batteries do not develop a memory
when charged after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run
down the battery pack before placing it on the charger.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove
batteries when not in use. No battery pack damage will occur,
however, if the charger and battery pack are left plugged in.
If both LEDs fl ash alternately then the rechargeable battery is either
not fully pushed in or there is a fault with the battery or charger. Take
the charger and battery out of use immediately for safety reasons and
have them inspected by a Milwaukee customer service centre.
Both 12V and 14.4/18V battery packs can be inserted into the charger
at the same time, but they will be charged one after the other. The fi rst
battery pack to be inserted will be the fi rst one to be charged. The red
LED for the second battery pack will fl ash slowly to indicate that the
charging process has not begun yet.
