SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This charger charges 12V and 18V Milwaukee Li-Ion battery
packs.
Do not use this product in any other way than stated for
normal use.
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase AC current and only to the
system voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible
to connect to sockets without an earthing contact as the design
conforms to safety class II.
LI-ION BATTERIES
The rechargeable batteries are partially charged. The LED on
the battery indicates the state of charge. If it is not used for
long periods, the rechargeable battery will switch to the non-
operative state.
When fully discharged the rechargeable battery switches
off automatically (deep discharge not possible).
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of
the battery could become to
o high. If this happens, the
battery will shut down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
The state of charge can be read by pressing the button
on the rechargeable battery. The battery can be left in the
electric tool while the reading is taken but it must be
switched off at least one minute beforehand (otherwise the
display will be inaccurate). The number of LEDs
illuminated indicates the state of charge. A flashing LED
indicates a
max. power reserve of 10%.
As a general principle, if the electric tool should fail to work
after inserting the rechargeable battery, then the battery should
be plugged into the charger. The displays on the battery and
charger will then provide information about the condition of the
battery.
In low temperatures work may continue at reduced output.
