The Milwaukee M12™ TOUGHSHELL STRETCH POLYESTER HEATED JACKET is a versatile garment designed to provide warmth and convenience in various conditions. It is powered by an M12™ battery and includes an M12™ Compact Charger and Power Source.
Function Description:
The heated jacket features heating elements that provide warmth to the user. It is controlled by zone power buttons located on the upper left side of the jacket, allowing for independent control of two heating zones: the jacket body and pockets. The jacket offers three temperature settings: High (Red LED), Medium (White LED), and Low (Blue LED). The M12™ Compact Charger and Power Source, which houses the battery, also includes a USB Out Port for charging personal electronic devices (up to 5V, 2.1A DC electrical current) and a DC out port for powering heated gear. A fuel gauge on the battery controller displays the remaining power of the battery pack.

Usage Features:
- Battery Insertion/Removal: To insert the battery, slide the pack into the battery controller until it latches securely. The power cable from inside the battery controller pocket is then inserted into the power cable port on the battery controller. The battery controller is placed into its pocket and zipped closed. The pocket is designed to accommodate both smaller M12™ batteries (in the rear section) and larger battery packs (in the front section). To remove the battery, press the release buttons and pull the battery pack away from the controller.
- Powering On/Off: To turn on a heating zone, press and hold the desired zone's power button for 1 to 2 seconds. The zone will activate on High, and the red LED will illuminate. Temperature settings can be adjusted by pressing the power button to cycle through High, Medium, and Low. To turn off a heating zone, press and hold its power button for 1 to 2 seconds until the LED turns off. If the jacket turns off unexpectedly, connections should be checked, and the battery pack should be charged.
- USB Out Port Usage: The USB Out Port is activated by pressing the USB power button. It will remain on for two hours before automatically turning off. The cord can be routed from the battery controller pocket through grommets and channels to a side pocket. It is not recommended to use the pocket warmer when an electronic device is charging in a pocket.
- Fuel Gauge: Pressing the USB power button displays the battery pack's remaining power on the fuel gauge LEDs.
- Charging the Battery Pack: The charger uses a Micro-USB port for input. The USB A end of the charging cable is plugged into a power source (AC wall adaptor, computer, or car port), and the Micro-USB end is inserted into the charger. The battery pack is then inserted into the charger. The indicator light displays charging status: Red (Charging), Green (Charged), Red Flashing (Battery too hot or too cold), and Red/Green Flashing (Damaged or Faulty Battery). During charging, the power button can be pressed to display the current charge on the fuel gauge. The USB A Port and DC out port are shut down when the Micro-USB port is in use. A fully discharged battery pack in a normal temperature range will charge in approximately 130 to 525 minutes. Heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge. A continuous green light indicates charging is complete. The charger maintains a fully charged battery pack if left on. A red flashing indicator light signifies that the battery pack temperature is outside the charging range; normal charging resumes once the temperature is acceptable. If the light indicator flashes red and green, the battery pack may be extremely hot, cold, or wet, or not fully seated. If the issue persists, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning the Heated Jacket: Before washing, disconnect and remove the battery pack and battery controller from the battery controller pocket. Push the power cord completely into the battery controller pocket and zip the pocket closed. Machine wash on a gentle cycle in warm water. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach, iron, wring, twist, or dry clean. Avoid using dry-cleaning fluid or cleaning solvents, as they can damage the heating element's insulation.
- General Maintenance: Maintain labels and nameplates; if unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility. If the heated jacket does not start or operate properly with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If problems persist, return the jacket, charger, and battery pack to a MILWAUKEE® service facility for repairs.
- Battery and Charger Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place. Unplug battery chargers and remove batteries when not in use. Do not store battery packs in the M12™ Compact Charger and Power Source.
- Safety Precautions: Always disconnect and remove the battery pack and battery controller before washing or performing maintenance. Never immerse the battery controller, battery pack, or charger in liquid. Do not use pins, as they may damage the electric wiring. Do not use the heated jacket with infants, children, helpless persons, or anyone insensitive to heat. Consult a physician if you have a medical condition making you sensitive to overheating or use personal medical devices. Never use if the inner liner is wet. Heating elements are not recommended to touch bare skin. Shut off power immediately if discomfort occurs. Do not allow cords to be pinched. If improper operation is observed, discontinue use and contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility.
- Battery Safety: Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Use heated jacket only with specifically designated battery packs. Keep battery packs away from other metal objects to prevent shorting. In case of liquid ejection from the battery, avoid contact; if contact occurs, flush with water and seek medical help for eye contact.
- Service: Have the heated jacket serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts to ensure safety.
