1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL
CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPER-
ATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MILWAUKEE
LI-ION CHARGER CAT. NO. 48-59-1808 AND
MILWAUKEE M12™ AND M18™ LI-ION BAT-
TERIES.
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. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
CAUTION
CHARGE MILWAUKEE M12™
AND M18™ RECHARGEABLE LI-ION BATTER-
IES ONLY IN MILWAUKEE M12™ AND M18™
LI-ION CHARGERS. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage. Do not
wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or car
cigarette lighter. Batteries will be permanently dis-
abled or damaged.
4. USE MILWAUKEE LI-ION PACKS ONLY ON
COMPATIBLE 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 explosive atmospheres (gaseous
fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks
may be generated when inserting or removing bat-
tery 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. 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.
8. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT
IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong,
damaged 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.
9. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT AC ONLY. Char-
ger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
10. 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.
11. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
12. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
always unplug charger before cleaning or mainte-
nance. Do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug.
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to
reduce shock hazards.
13. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY
PACKS. Battery packs may explode, causing per-
sonal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials
are created when battery packs are burned.
14. 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).
15. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly
may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or ex-
posure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take
it to a MILWAUKEE service facility.
16. 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 dis-
pose 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, immediately
flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical
attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated
clothing.
17. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. 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 any-
thing 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 flu-
ids, 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.
18. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CH
18. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery pack where
temperatures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in
direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during
the summer.
19. 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. milwauke-
etool.com for the appropriate accessory handle.
