Can I use other M18 batteries with this power head?
Yes, the power head is compatible with all Milwaukee M18™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries. However, using higher capacity batteries like the included 8.0Ah FORGE™ batteries will provide longer run times.
How do I switch between attachments?
Simply push the attachment firmly into the power head's connection port until it audibly clicks. To detach, typically there's a release button or lever (refer to the specific attachment manual if needed).
What is the benefit of the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor?
The POWERSTATE™ brushless motor offers more power, longer run time, and greater durability compared to brushed motors, ensuring consistent performance under demanding conditions.
How long does it take to charge the 8.0Ah FORGE™ batteries?
Using the included M12-18 FC Multi Fast Charger, the 8.0Ah FORGE™ batteries can be charged relatively quickly, though specific charge times vary. Consult the charger's manual for detailed timings.

Yes, this kit is designed as a ready-to-work solution, including the power head, two 8.0Ah FORGE™ batteries, and a fast charger.
What kind of maintenance does the power head require?
Regular cleaning after use and proper storage are recommended. Ensure the battery contacts and attachment connection points are kept clean. Avoid submerging the unit in water.
Troubleshooting
Power head does not turn on.
Ensure the M18 battery is properly inserted and latched. Check battery charge level and recharge if necessary. Verify that the safety switch is engaged.
Attachment is not engaging or working properly.
Confirm the attachment is fully clicked into the QUIK-LOK connection. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the connection point on both the power head and the attachment. Check if the attachment requires a specific speed setting.
Reduced performance or short run time.
The battery may be low on charge. For demanding tasks, ensure you are using high-capacity M18 batteries (like the included 8.0Ah FORGE). Clean any debris or blockages from the attachment head.
Overheating during use.
The tool may be under excessive load or the battery is depleted. Allow the tool and battery to cool down. Reduce the workload or switch to a freshly charged battery. Ensure ventilation slots on the power head are not blocked.
