IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
28) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS OPER-
ATOR’S MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MILWAUKEE LI-ION M18™ RADIO
CHARGER.
29) BEFORE USING, READ THIS OPERATOR’S
MANUAL, YOUR BATTERY PACK OPERA-
TOR’S MANUAL, AND ALL LABELS ON THE
BATTERY PACK AND RADIO CHARGER.
30) CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE LITHIUM-
ION PACKS ONLY IN THEIR MILWAUKEE
LITHIUM-ION CHARGER.
Other types of char-
gers may cause personal injury or damage.
Battery pack and charger are not compatible
with V™-technology or NiCd systems. Do not
wire a battery pack to a power supply plug
or car cigarette lighter. 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 (gas-
eous fumes, dust or fl ammable materials) be-
cause sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing battery pack, possibly causing fi re.

SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. In-
stall in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifi ers that produce
heat.)
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar-
ized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fi t into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs,convenience
receptacles,and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specifi ed
by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specifi ed by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service per-
sonnel. Servicing is required when the ap-
paratus has been damaged in any way,such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not oper-
ate normally, or has been dropped.
15) WARNING To reduce the risk of fi re or elec-
tric shock, do not expose this apparatus to
rain or moisture.
16) Only plug power supply into readily ac-
cessible outlet to allow the appliance to be
unplugged quickly.
17) Only operate this apparatus in a well-
ventilated area.
18) A battery operated radio with integral bat-
teries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specifi ed charger
for the battery.
A charger that may be suitable
for one type of battery may create a risk of fi re
when used with another battery.
19) Use battery operated radio only with specifi -
cally designated battery packs.
Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fi re.
20) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another.
Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause sparks,
burns, or a fi re.
21) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is grounded.
22) Do not use any adaptor plugs.
23) When operating a radio outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use
and reduce the risk of electric shock.
24) Never disassemble the radio or try to do any
rewiring on the radio's electrical system.
25) Do not expose this apparatus to dripping
and splashing, or place objects fi lled with
liquids on this unit.
26) Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
27) This radio charger is designed to be pow-
ered by a standard 120 volt AC line or AC
generator.
The radio can also be powered
using a MILWAUKEE M18™ Li-Ion battery
pack. Radio charger must be plugged into an
appropriate receptacle. Do not attempt to use
with any other voltage or power supply.
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 fl ames near a charging battery pack.
Vented gases may explode.
33) MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD.
When unplug-
ging 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 USE AN EXTENSION CORD UN-
LESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
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 exten-
sion cord is in good electrical condition.
35) USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACH-
MENTS.
Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by the battery charger or
battery pack manufacturer may result in a risk
of fi re, electric shock or personal injury.
36) UNPLUG CHARGER
when not in use. Remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
37) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK
, always unplug charger before clean-
ing or maintenance. Use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
38) STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHAR-
GER
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 building during the summer.

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 com-
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-
ant 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 equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is en-
couraged 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 con-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Double Insulated Radios:
Radios with Two Prong Plugs
Radios marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insula-
tion system which satisfi es OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc., the Canadian Stan-
dard Association and the
National Electrical Code.
Double Insulated radios
may be used in either of
the 120 volt outlets shown
in Figures A and B.
