Batteries are subject to recycling to preserve the environment. The easiest way is to return them to your power tool dealer or deliver to your local re-cycling center. The power tool dealer will pass them on to their local recycling center. Do not throw away batteries in your household waste. Remember that it is dangerous to throw batteries, even used or damaged ones in to a fire.

In compliance with European law, Milwaukee helps preserve the environment, in collaboration with approved companies specialised in the collection and recycling of old electrical devices. Please help us continue this effort by not disposing of your devices with household waste. The easiest way is to give them back to your power tools dealer. The power tool dealer will pass them on to the their local recycling center.

General recommendations concerning battery use:
* Always store in a cool, dry place;
* Do not leave unused for long periods of time;
* Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity;
* When Lithium-ion batteries are fully charged, switch off the charger and remove the battery.

Yes, disposal is free of charge at your local re-cycling center. Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be recycled in most power tool dealers. Please help us to preserve the environment.

Lithium-ion batteries are based on new technology that uses lithium as a component in the electrodes. They differ fundamentally from nickel-based batteries. Less battery cells are required, which enables the power tool to be smaller and lighter or more powerful at the same size. Unlike nickel cadmium batteries, lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from memory effect. They also have considerably less self-discharge. Red Li-ion offers higher power and capacity retention until fully discharged. They continue to deliver full power in the most extreme work conditions down to -20°C, generate more run-time and are always ready to work with the maximum of power.
They provide longer life with full power, provide more charge within a shorter charge duration and are easier to recycle than Nicad batteries.

I need to learn about my tool and read carefully the user manual. I need to start to use it when I understood every function.

The injury caused by routers is posed by the router bit – both when working on the tool and when it is at standstill. Routers work at very high speeds. Improper operation, poorly fitted router bits, un secured material can lead to machine kick-back, damage to the work surface or injury. You must only use sharp router bits. The router bits must be of suitable shank size compatible to the collet size of the tool. Collects and router bit shanks can be either metric or imperial size. Take care. Injuries caused by the router bit can be avoided by the following measures. Operate the machine with both hands, holding it in the grip areas provided. Unplug the router when changing the bit or adjusting the depth. When routing edges, the feed direction must always be opposite to the bit’s direction of rotation (up cut routing). When routing in the bit’s direction of rotation (down cut routing), the machine cannot be guided safely, especially at higher cutting depths. The router must always be guided securely and firmly. Choosse the correct speed for the application. Only use size router bits suitable for the power of the router. Practice using the router until you are very confident and proficient in its use. Wear suitable personal protection. Read carefully the user manual "safety section" before starting using the tool.

The hardness of wood is relatively low which makes machining easy. However, if local temperatures get too high, for example, if you stay in one spot for too long, it tends to burn.The elasticity especially of long-fibred soft wood exerts a certain clamping force on the router bit which is converted to additional frictional heat. In case of solid wood it is very important to respect the grain direction if you want to achieve good results.

Self-discharge refers to the process by which a battery passively emits energy through storage alone. The self-discharge with Red Li-ion it is very low. Li-ion batteries are therefore ready to use even after prolonged periods of storage.

Li-ion batteries should be stored at room temperature. Storage at high or low temperatures reduces the lifetime of the battery. Li-ion batteries should not be fully charged prior to long-term storage. The activity in a fully charged cell is higher than in a partially charged cell, this can cause the cell to age more quickly.

Routing wood is what routers are designed for. With the correct blade and understanding of the limitations of the router bit and the router tool thin aluminium and some plastics may be able to be routed.

No, as the Tool is out of warranty it does not need to be an Authorised Service Centre. However the repairer should be qualified. We recommend on our website www.milwaukeetool.eu an “out of warranty” network of service centers which have the required knowledge.

When you send your tool for an out of warranty repair you will have three options: 1. Accept the quotation and pay for the repair (diagnosis is free of charge) 2. Ask for your tool to be returned after diagnosis (you will have to pay for a portion of the diagnosis charge plus transportation cost) 3. Request the tool to be recycled (service centre may charge for initial diagnosis)

If you reject the quotation for a non-warranty repair and request that the tool be returned it will be sent back dismantled for safety reasons. For further information refer to the Warranty terms and conditions on our web site www.milwaukeetool.eu
