FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
BATTERY PACK CARE AND USE
EXTENDING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY PACK LIFE
Charge the new battery pack over-
night before use to allow the cells
to become fully charged. New
battery packs are not fully charged. Two
to ten normal charging/discharging cycles
may be required before the pack can take
its maximum charge.
Never completely discharge the
battery pack. MILWAUKEE battery
packs do not develop a "memory"
when charged after only a partial discharge.
Taping-on triggers or leaving work lights on
for extended periods to completely discharge
the battery pack will reduce its life by upset-
ting the electrochemical balance and can
result in short-circuiting of the battery.
MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when they
are used, charged, and stored according to these instructions. Properly using, charging, and
storing your battery pack can greatly extend its life.
Do not use or charge batteries in
hot or cold places (below 40°F (5°C)
or above 105°F (40°C)). Temperature
extremes reduce the ability for battery pack
cells to hold a charge. Do not store batteries
where the temperature may exceed 120°F
(50°C), such as in a vehicle or metal building
during the summer.
To avoid overheating to a battery pack,
allow cordless tools cool down between
high torque drilling/cutting applications.
The increased energy discharge rate will
heat the battery pack cells faster than the
cells can release the heat. This could dam-
age the cells.

After use, allow a hot battery pack to
cool to room temperature before inserting it
into the charger. If a hot battery is put on a
charger, charging will not begin until the bat-
tery has cooled to a safe temperature. See
your charger manual for more information
on charging temperatures. Charging a hot
battery will damage the cells.
Never forcibly heat up or cool down bat-
teries. This will damage some cells in the
pack, causing them to not be able to hold
a charge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool
for charging when the tool can no longer
perform its intended function (i.e., drilling,
cutting, etc.).
Leave the battery pack on the
charger after it has reached a full
charge; the pack will continue to
receive a trickle charge to ensure capacity
is maintained.
Occasionally (once a week) leave the
batteries on the charger overnight to help
maintain cell balance.
Do not store the battery on the charger
(for more than 24 hours); this could re-
duce battery life.
Never leave batteries on chargers where
power interruptions are common. Damage
to the battery cells could occur.
Store batteries at room tempera-
ture away from moisture. Do not
store in damp locations where corro-
sion of terminals may occur.
Do not submerge your battery or cord-
less tools in water. This will damage the
battery and tool.
Charge unused batteries overnight at
least every six months to maximize bat-
tery life. Unused batteries discharge at a
rate of about 1% per day and will be fully
discharged after six months. For batteries
stored for a long time, two to ten normal
charging cycles may be required before the
pack is fully charged.
Do not use oil or solvents to clean or
lubricate your battery pack. The plastic
casing will become brittle and crack, causing
a risk of injury.
WARNING!
Charge only MILWAUKEE 12, 14.4 and
18 Volt battery packs in MILWAUKEE
chargers. Other brands of batteries
may explode causing personal injury
and damage.
For specifi c charging instructions,
please read the operator's manual
supplied with your charger.
2. For optimum weight distribution and
balance. Insert the battery pack from
the back by pressing in the release
buttons and sliding the battery pack into
the body of the tool (Fig. 2). Insert the
battery pack until clamp engages.
NOTE: A 14.4 volt battery is supplied with this
tool. If a 12 volt battery is used, run time and
plunger speed will be reduced.
Removing Battery Pack from Tool
For all models: Push in the release buttons
and remove the battery pack.
Inserting Battery Pack into Tool
For all models: Battery pack can be inserted
into the tool in two ways.
1. For working in restricted spaces.
Insert the battery pack from the front
by pressing in the release buttons and
sliding battery pack into the body of the
tool (Fig. 1). Insert the battery pack until
clamp engages.
