Can I use a 12v battery instead of the 7.4 volt that this jacket comes with without causing damage to the jacket?

No, that does not work which is crazy to me but I have multiple 12v jackets that plug into my bike including this Milwaukee one and the 12v battery pack will not work or stay powered up. It puts the battery into a fault/error status and you have to plug it in to reset it. The battery pack that comes with this jacket is 7.4v. I purchased Milwaukee and other top brand batteries that were 12v to have extras and none of them work with the jackets. Only the 7.4v batteries work with all my 12 volt jackets. Milwaukee, Hotwired and Venture jackets all use 7.4v batteries and work great.

Will this work with the Milwaukee heated chaps?

the chaps do not work with a battery pack, they are motorcycle battery or leather jacket hook up only..

Will this battery system work with the Milwaukee Heated Socks?

This did not work for my hooded. Very disappointing

Does this battery work for the Milwaukee tool heated jacket?

The Milwaukee tool heated jacket has a different battery pack than this battery pack.

Can i use this on the Milwaukee m12 heated axis jacket?

This is a different battery pack and will not work for that jacket.

INSTALLATION GROUNDING

DANGER

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the equipment. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the equipment if the cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools (Three-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three-wire cord and three-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet(See Figure A). If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically”live” terminal. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in Figure A.

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three-wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three-wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to five volts at 150% of the rated amperes.

WARNING
Recharge only with the charger specified for the battery. For specific charging instructions, read the operator’s manual supplied with your charger and battery.

Removing/Inserting the Battery

To remove the battery, push the battery latch lock to the side and squeeze the battery latch lever. Pull the battery pack away from the machine. To insert the battery, slide the pack into the body of the machine. Make sure it latches securely into place

GENERAL OPERATION

Power Supply Capacity
Make sure the power supply can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items being powered at the same time.

1. Select the items to be powered at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items.
   This is the amount of power the power supply must produce to keep the items running. See wattage reference chart.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts will be needed. Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2.

Power Management

To prolong the life of the power supply and attached devices, it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to the power supply. There should be nothing connected to the power supply outlets before starting the machine. The correct and safe way to manage power supply power is to sequentially add loads, as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the power supply, start the machine (see “Arming the Machine”).
2. Plugin and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load.
3. Permit the power supply output to stabilize (power supply runs smoothly and the attached device operates properly).
4. Plugin and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the power supply to stabilize.
6. Never add more loads than the power supply capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in power supply capacity as previously described.

Arming the Machine
MX FUEL™ machines must be armed prior to use.
Even with the battery pack inserted, functions will not operate until the machine is armed.
To arm the machine:

1. Insert the battery pack.
2. Press the Arm button. The MX FUEL™ icon will light and the LEDs are now operational.
   NOTE: The internal fan will operate whenever the machine is in use.
3. After 60 minutes of inactivity (no current being drawn), the machine will enter sleep mode. The MX FUEL™ icon will go off and the LEDs are nonoperational.
4. Press the Arm button to reactivate the machine.
5. Press and hold the ARM button for 2 seconds to unarm (turn off) the machine. The MX FUEL™ icon will go off.
   NOTE: The internal fan will continue to operate for a short time after the machine has been turned off.

Onboard Fuel Gauge LEDs and Alert Tones

Onboard Fuel Gauge LEDs display real-time battery levels for their respective MX battery. When the machine detects a low battery condition, a dead battery, an overload, or overtemp condition, the user will be alerted with an audible tone(s). Investigate the root cause of the tone(s) to continue use.

Overload and Overtemperature Conditions
When an overload or temperature condition occurs, the machine will produce a unique tone and the respective icon will light. Take the appropriate action, such as turning off or reducing the load on the machine, or allowing the machine to rest (cool down) before continuing use.

• Auto Shut O – In forward, the tool runs at a reduced RPM and then shuts o once the torque i s achieved.
• Bolt Removal – In reverse, the tool runs at full RPM and IPM until the nut breaks free from the joint.
  Then, the tool slows to a reduced RPM for better control in removing the nut.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed

1. These tools may be operated at any speed from 0 to full speed.
   To start the tool, pull the trigger.
   NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
2. To vary the driving speed, simply increase or decrease pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger and the electric brake stops the tool instantly.

Impacting Techniques

The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller
fasteners because they require less impacting to reach optimum torque. Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of
time required to reach the desired torque. Check the tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are
not tight enough, increase the impacting time. Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under
the head of the fastener a ects the degree of tightness.
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages 75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench for final tightening.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks w which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will  reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug form the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different form those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only wit the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

• lave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR MULTI-TOOL

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when making blind or plunge cuts.
• Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
• Do not use dull or damaged blade, which can cause excessive friction, blade binding and kick-back.
• Know your workpiece. Remove nail and screw heads before scraping. Hitting hard objects with blade may cause the tool to kick back.
  Warning To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty wear appropriate respiratory situations, protection.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
  Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for a replacement.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR LAMINATE TRIMMER

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) dur-ing the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and po-sition your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kick-back forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Some woods contain preservatives that can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information avail-able from your material supplier.
• Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand when using the tool. Never place hands near or below cutting surface. Clamping the material and guiding the tool with both hands is safer.
• Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can break during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, which could cause the bit to break. Damaged bits can throw carbide pieces and bum the workpiece.
• After changing the bit or making any adjust-ments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control. Loose rotating components will be violently thrown. Watch for vibration or wob-bling that could indicate an improperly installed bit.
• Never start the tool when the bit is in contact with the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the tool.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete stop. The spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
• Never touch the bit during or immediately after use. After use the bit, collet, and collet nut may be hot enough to bum bare skin.
• Never clamp the workpiece to a hard surface, such as concrete or stone. Contact with the bit could cause the tool to jump and loss of control.
• Only operate the trimmer when held. Do not clamp or secure the trimmer to a surface and hold the workpiece by hand.
• Never use bits larger than the smallest of the openings in the base, sub-base, or dust collection port.
• Do not loosen or remove the plunge base caps. Internal springs are under pressure. If loosened or removed, the plunge base caps and internal springs will become projectiles, which could cause injury.
  Warning
  To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact MILWAUKEE® Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for a replacement.
  Warning
  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscope is particles.

  ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY RULES

10. Press the plunge release lever and raise the trimmer motor.
11.  Rotate the turret to the highest possible step to prepare for the first cut.
12. Make the cut as described in Makixua the Cut -Accessory Plunge Base. Accessory Offset Base The depth of cut of the offset bit is set when the bit s installed.

Accessory Plunge Base.

Accessory Offset Base

 warning The depth of cut of the offset bit is set when the bit is installed.
Holding the Tool Keep hands and body away from the bit and all moving parts. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and posi-tion your body and arm to allow you to resist kick-back forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. Fixed Base and Accessory Offset Base For best results, hold tool with one hand on the base and a second hand on the top of the battery pack.

Accessory Plunge Base

To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER use the plunge base in a trimmer table.

Hold tool with both hands on the handles at all times for maximum control.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always wear eye protection. To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, always check the work area for hidden pipes and wires before trimming. Avoid open area of trimmer base. Serious personal injury will result from contact with a rotating bit. Starting and Stopping the Trimmer Motor

1.  To start the motor, hold the trimmer so the bit is away from you and not in contact with the workpiece.
2. Hold the tool firmly and turn the On/Off switch to ON (I).
3. To stop the motor, hold the trimmer so the bit is away from you and turn the On/Off switch to OFF (0). Hold the tool until the bit stops turning.

Making the Cut

Before cutting, check that the collet nut and all adjustments are tight. Verify that the quick release lever is fully closed and secure. Set the speed and depth of cut for material being worked. Keep the cutting pressure constant but do not use excessive force on the trimmer so the motor speed slows excessively. It may be necessary on exceptionally hard woods, problem materials, or
extreme cuts to make more than one pass to get the desired depth of cut. When using the dust collection hose, place the hose
out of the path of the trimmer. Before beginning the cut on the workpiece, make a sample cut on a scrap piece of lumber to check the settings and dimensions. Always be sure the
workpiece is secure before routing. When routing edges, the trimmer should be held firmly down and against the work. Since the cutter rotates clockwise, more efficient cutting will be obtained if the trimmer is moved from left to right as you stand facing the work. The arrows on the base of the tool indicate the direction of bit rotation. When working on the outside of an edge, move trimmer in a counterclockwise direction.

When working on an inside edge, move the trimmer in a clockwise direction. Moving the trimmer in the opposite direction is known as “climb cutting.”

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid “climb cutting.” Climb cutting increases the potential for loss of control of the tool and damage to the workpiece. If climb cutting can not be avoided, use extreme caution. Fixed Base with a Straight Edge To obtain a straight cut, use the straight edge guide, or clamp a piece of scrap lumber to use as a guide.

1. To adjust the straight edge guide, loosen the wing nut and ad-just the distance between the bit and the straight edge guide. Tighten the wing nut securely.

2. To use the straight edge glide, move the too with the straight edge guide flush with the side of the workpiece.

3. To use a piece of scrap lumber as a guide, when the distance between the side of the workpiece and the cutting position is too wide for the straight edge guide, or if the side of the workpiece is not straight. Securely clamp a straight board to the work-piece and use it as a guide against the trimmer base.

Accessory Plunge Base

WARNING Always hold the handles firmly with both hands during operation. Do not use a plunge base trimmer if the motor does not rise automatically when the plunge release lever is pressed.
NEVER use the plunge bake in a trimmer table.

1. Securely clamp the work iece.
2. Set the depth of cut as described in Adjusting the Cutting Depth – Accessory Plunge Base.
3. Press the plunge release lever and raise the bit above the workpiece.
4. Hold the trimmer so the bit is away from you and not in contact with the workpiece. Turn on the tool.
5. Press the plunge release lever and slowly lower the bit into the workpiece until the depth stop rod contacts the turret. Release the plunge release lever.
6. Begin moving the trimmer, keeping the sub base flat on the workpiece.
7. When finished, press the plunge release lever and raise the bit out of the workpiece.
8. To stop the motor, hold the trimmer so the bit is away from you and turn the On/Off switch to OFF (0).
9. For multiple pass cuts, rotate the turret to the next step and repeat. Make multiple passes, rotat-ing the turret to a lower step each time.
