Battery packs will be permanently disabled or damaged.
31) 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 battery pack, possibly causing fire.
32) 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.
33) 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.
34) Do not short circuit. A short circuited battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product damage. 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 anything that may cause a short circuit, such as coins, keys or nails in your pocket.
35) Do not allow fluids to flow into battery pack. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
36) 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.
37) 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.
38) Unplug charger when not in use. Remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.

Federal Communications Commission
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
• Unplug all cords during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to five volts at 150% of the rated amperes
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

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 batteries do not develop a “memory” when charged after only a partial discharge. 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.
How to Charge the Battery Pack
Plug the Radio + Charger into a 120V outlet. The battery packs will not charge if the Radio + Charger is not plugged in. 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 flashing (pack is too hot or cold) or continuous (pack is charging).
• A fully discharged battery pack with an internal temperature in the normal range will charge in about 30 to 185 minutes, depending on the battery pack.
• Heavily cycled batteries 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 flashes 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 Flashing Indicator light on the charger indicates 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the battery pack, charger, or tool, except as provided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for all other repairs.
