This document provides original instructions for the Milwaukee C12 C charger, designed for 12V Lithium-Ion battery packs. The charger is part of Milwaukee's "Nothing but HEAVY DUTY" line, emphasizing durability and performance.
The Milwaukee C12 C charger is a dedicated charging unit for Milwaukee 12V Lithium-Ion battery packs. Its primary function is to safely and efficiently recharge these batteries, ensuring they are ready for use with compatible Milwaukee tools. The charger features a robust design with integrated cooling vents to manage heat during the charging process.
When a battery pack is inserted into the charger's reception slot, the charging process initiates automatically. The charger is equipped with indicator lights that provide visual feedback on the battery's status. A continuously illuminated red lamp indicates that the battery is currently charging. If a battery pack is either too hot or too cold (outside the optimal charging temperature range of 0°C to 60°C), the charger will display a flashing red lamp. In this scenario, the charger will automatically wait until the battery reaches the correct temperature before commencing the charging cycle.
Once the battery is fully charged, the charger transitions to a "trickle" charge mode. This is indicated by a continuously illuminated green control lamp, while the red lamp turns off. This feature allows the battery to remain in the charger without the risk of overcharging, maintaining its full capacity until needed.
The charger is designed to handle various Milwaukee 12V Lithium-Ion battery packs, including those with different capacities and cell configurations. It is crucial to only use this charger with specified Milwaukee 12V battery packs to ensure safety and proper function. Attempting to charge non-chargeable batteries or battery packs from other systems with this charger is strictly prohibited.
In the event of an error, such as the battery not being completely mounted or a fault within the battery or charger itself, both the red and green LEDs will flash simultaneously. If this occurs, users are instructed to immediately stop using the charger and battery and have them inspected by an authorized Milwaukee Customer Service Centre.
The Milwaukee C12 C charger is designed for straightforward and safe operation. To begin charging, simply plug the charger into a standard single-phase a.c. current outlet with the system voltage indicated on the rating plate. The charger is designed to conform to safety class II, allowing connection to sockets without an earthing contact.
Once plugged in, insert a compatible Milwaukee 12V Lithium-Ion battery pack into the charger's reception slot. The charger will automatically detect the battery and initiate the charging process. The indicator lights will provide real-time feedback on the charging status.
It is important to ensure that no metal parts enter the battery section of the charger, as this poses a short-circuit risk. The charger and battery packs should always be stored in dry rooms and kept dry at all times. Users should avoid touching the tool with conducting objects.
The charger can accommodate battery packs that have not been used for some time, which should be recharged before use. It is also capable of handling batteries that are hot or cold, pausing the charging process until the battery reaches an optimal temperature.
The charging time will vary based on factors such as the battery's current temperature, the amount of charge needed, and the specific type of battery pack being charged. Users do not need to remove the battery immediately after charging, as the trickle charge feature prevents overcharging.
For safety, never attempt to charge a damaged battery pack; it should be replaced with a new one. Before each use, it is recommended to inspect the charger's machine, cable, and plug for any signs of damage or material fatigue. Any necessary repairs should only be carried out by authorized Service Agents.
The charger is intended for indoor use only and should not be exposed to rain. It is also important to keep the contacts of both the charger and battery packs clean to ensure proper connection and efficient charging.
Maintaining the Milwaukee C12 C charger involves several key practices to ensure its longevity and safe operation. Regular inspection of the charger, its cable, and plug for any damage or wear is crucial. Should any component be damaged, especially the supply cord, it must only be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, as special purpose tools are required for such repairs.
Users should only use Milwaukee accessories and genuine Milwaukee spare parts for any replacements or repairs. If components not described in the manual need to be replaced, contact a Milwaukee service agent for assistance.
Keeping the contacts of both the charger and battery packs clean is essential for optimal performance. Dirt or debris on the contacts can interfere with the charging process.
The charger is designed to be robust, but it should be stored in dry environments to prevent damage from moisture. Never immerse the charger, battery pack, or tool in fluid, nor allow fluid to flow inside them, as corrosive or conductive fluids can cause a short circuit.
When transporting batteries, ensure that the battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuits. Battery packs should also be secured against movement within packaging. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
At the end of its life, the charger and battery packs should not be disposed of with household waste. Electric tools and batteries must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility. Users should check with their local authority or retailer for recycling advice and collection points. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to protect the environment.
The appliance is not intended to be used or cleaned by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given instructions concerning its safe use by a legally responsible person. Children should not use, clean, or play with this appliance, and it should be secured out of their reach when not in use.
