plosion, never burn or incinerate
a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead, or
completely discharged. When burned, toxic
fumes and materials are created.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE Li-Ion
Battery Packs
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery packs are more environ-
mentally friendly than some other types of battery
packs (e.g., nickel-cadmium). Always dispose of
battery packs according to federal, state and local
regulations. Contact a local recycling agency for
recycling locations.
Even discharged battery packs contain some energy.
Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting,
which could cause a fire or explosion.
RBRC Battery Recycling Seals
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see the
Symbology section) on battery packs indicates that
MILWAUKEE has arranged for recycling with the Re-
chargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC).
At the end of its useful life, return the battery pack
to a MILWAUKEE Branch Office/Service Center or a
participating retailer. For more information, visit the
RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.

WARNING
Li-Ion batteries in this MILWAUKEE
Li-Ion charger. Other types of batteries may cause
personal injury and damage.
When to Charge the Battery Pack
with this MILWAUKEE Charger
Remove the battery pack from the product 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 plac-
ing it on the charger.
• Use the fuel gauge to determine when to charge
your MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack.
• The battery pack's charge can be "Topped-Off"
before starting a big job or long day of use.
• The only time it is necessary to charge the
MILWAUKEE Li-Ion battery pack is when the battery
pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal
the end of charge, power to the product will drop
quickly, allowing enough power to finish the opera-
tion. Charge the battery pack as needed.
How to Charge the Battery Pack
1. Plug your USB A end of the cable into a power
source such as an AC wall adaptor, computer or
car port.
2. Insert the Micro-USB end of the cable into the
Micro-USB port in the charger.
3. Insert the battery pack into charger. The indicator
light will display the charging status:

Charging
Charged
Battery is too hot or too cold
• During charging, press the power button to display
the current charge on the fuel gauge.
• USB A Port (for device charging) and DC out port
(for powering heated gear) is shut down when the
Micro-USB port is being used.
• Charge time depends on capacity of battery pack.
Heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge
completely.
• After charging is complete, the continuous green
light will come on.
• The red flashing indicator light on the charger indi-
cates that the battery pack temperature is outside
the charging range. Once the battery pack is within
the acceptable range, normal charging will take
place and the red light will be continuous. Hot or
cold batteries may take longer to charge.
• If the light indicator flashes red and green or does not
come on, check that the battery pack is fully seated
into the bay. Remove the battery pack and reinsert.
If the problem persists, remove pack(s) and unplug
charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug
charger back in and insert pack. If the problem
continues, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.
