CHARGER OPERATION
WARNING
Charge only MILWAUKEE
Lithium-Ion battery packs in the
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion Battery Charger. Other
types of batteries may cause personal injury
and damage. Battery pack and charger are
not compatible with V™-technology or NiCd
systems.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
allow water to fl ow into AC/DC plug.
AC/DC Charger (Cat. No. 2710-20)
To reduce the risk of damage to the charger, do
not attempt to plug into both AC and DC outlets at
the same time.
To use the AC/DC plug in a DC outlet, rotate the
DC adapter out (A) and insert into a DC outlet. The
AC plug blades should be folded in.
To use the AC/DC plug in an AC outlet, rotate the
AC plug blades out (B) and insert into an AC outlet.
The DC adapter should be folded in.

When to Charge MILWAUKEE Li-Ion Battery
Packs
Remove the battery pack from the tool for
charging when convenient for you and your job.
MILWAUKEE battery packs do not develop a
"memory" when charged after only a partial dis-
charge. It is not necessary to run down the battery
pack before placing it on the charger.
• Use the Fuel Gauge to determine when to charge
your MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack.
• You can "Top-Off" your battery pack's charge
before starting a big job or long day of use.
• The only time it is necessary to charge the
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery pack is when
the pack has reached the end of its charge. To
signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop
quickly, allowing you just enough power to fi nish
making a cut, drilling a hole, or driving a fastener.
Charge the battery pack as needed.
How to Charge the Battery Pack
Place the battery pack onto the bay by sliding the
pack on from the top of the bay. The red light will
turn on, either fl ashing (pack is too hot or cold) or
continuous (pack is charging).
• A fully discharged pack with an internal tempera-
ture between 32°F and 104°F will charge in 30-Min
or 1-Hour, depending on the battery pack.
• Heavily cycled battery packs may take longer to
charge completely.
• The Fuel Gauge lights on the battery pack are
displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating
how fully charged the pack is.
• After charging is complete, the continuous green
light will turn on and the fuel gauge will turn off.
• The charger will keep the battery pack fully
charged if it is left on the charger.
• If the light indicator fl ashes red and green, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.
Remove the pack and reinsert. If the problem
persists, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.
• If the light indicator does not come on, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.
Remove the pack and reinsert. If the light indicator
still does not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
The Red fl ashing indicator light on the charger indi-
cates that the battery pack temperature is outside
the charging range. Once the pack is within the
acceptable range, normal charging will take place
and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold
battery packs may take longer to charge.
Li-Ion Charging Status
Battery Pack Red Charger Charging Status
Temperature Indicator Light
Too Hot Flashing Not charging
Normal Range Continuous Normal charging
Too Cold Flashing Not charging
Powering the Charger with an Inverter or
Generator
The charger will operate with most generators and
inverters rated at 300 Watts or higher.
Maintenance and Storage
Store your charger in a cool, dry place.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery
chargers and remove battery packs when not in
use. No battery pack damage will occur, however, if
the charger and battery pack are left plugged in.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the charger and re-
move the battery pack from the charger before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the battery pack or charger. Contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never
immerse your battery pack or charger in liquid
or allow a liquid to fl ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the
battery pack and charger, keeping away from all elec-
trical contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents
are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts.
Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing am-
monia. Never use fl ammable or combustible solvents
around battery packs, charger, or tools.
Repairs
The MILWAUKEE Li-Ion charger has no service-
able parts.
