GENERAL SAFETY RULES

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
This operator's manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the MILWAUKEE
Li-Ion/NiCd Multi-Bay Charger. Before using the charger, read this operator's manual, your tool
and battery operator's manuals, and all labels on the battery pack, charger and tool.
1. CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE LITHI-
UM-ION PACKS ONLY IN MILWAUKEE
LITHIUM-ION CHARGERS. CHARGE
MILWAUKEE NiCd PACKS ONLY IN
MILWAUKEE NiCd CHARGERS. Other
types of chargers may cause personal
injury or damage.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRON-
MENTS. 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
battery pack, possibly causing fi re.
3. CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED
AREA. Do not block charger vents. Keep
them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do
not allow smoking or open fl ames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may
explode.
4. 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 cord replaced
immediately with identical replacement
parts (see "Maintenance").
WARNING
5. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECES-
SARY. Using the wrong, damaged or
improperly wired extension cord could
result in the risk of fi re 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.
6. CHARGER IS RATED FOR 120 VOLT
AC ONLY. Charger must be plugged into
an appropriate receptacle.
7. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AT-
TACHMENTS. Use of an attachment
not recommended or sold by the battery
charger or battery pack manufacturer
may result in a risk of fi re, electric shock
or personal injury.
8. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use.
Remove battery packs from unplugged
chargers.
9. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC-
TRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger
before cleaning or maintenance. Use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
to reduce shock hazards.
10. 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.

11. 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 dam-
aged in any way (e.g., pierced with a
nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
12. 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.
13. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERI-
OUS BURNS. Never allow contact with
skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged bat-
tery 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 atten-
tion. Remove and dispose of contami-
nated clothing.
READ AND SAVE ALL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
14. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery
pack will short circuit if a metal object
makes a connection between the posi-
tive 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. A short circuited battery pack
may cause fi re and personal injury.
15. 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 build-
ing during the summer. Charger will
charge the battery when the battery's
internal temperature is between 14°F
(-10°C) and 150°F (65°C). When the
battery temperature is outside that
range, charging will not occur.
