Tool Assembly - Milwaukee 1109-20 Manuel De L'utilisateur

MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hun-
dreds 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.
Charge the new battery pack overnight before use to al-
low 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 upsetting the electrochemical balance and can result in
short-circuiting of the battery.
Do not 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 damage 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 battery has cooled to a safe temperature.
See your charger manual for more information on charging tempera-
tures. Charging a hot battery will damage the cells.
Never forcibly heat up or cool down batteries. 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 reduce battery life.
Never leave batteries on chargers where power interruptions
are common. Damage to the battery cells could occur.
Store batteries at room temperature away from mois-
ture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals
may occur.
To reduce the risk of injury, always remove battery pack
before attaching or removing accessories. Use only specifi-
cally recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.
Installing Side Handle
MILWAUKEE D-Handle Drills are supplied with a side handle that can be
installed on either side of the tool for right or left handed use. To install
the side handle, attach the side handle to the extension. Thread it into the
socket on the desired side of the tool and tighten it securely. Because of
the high torque of this drill, the side handle must always be used when
operating the drill.

BATTERY PACK CARE AND USE
EXTENDING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY PACK LIFE
WARNING!
Do not submerge your battery or cordless tools in water. This
will damage the battery and tool.
Charge unused batteries overnight at least every six months
to maximize battery 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.
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 specific charging instructions, please read the
operator's manual supplied with your charger.

TOOL ASSEMBLY

To reduce the risk of injury, always use a side handle when
using this tool. This tool operates with high torque. Always
brace or hold the tool securely.
When using the D-handle drill without the right angle drive
unit, do not clamp the ring clamp with attached side handle
to the front of the gear case; use the side handle instead.
Do not use the extension when using the ring clamp.
