CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes
discharged and is hot, this will cause the red LED to flash
instead of remaining steady. After 30 minutes, reinsert
the battery pack in the charger. If the red LED continues
to flash, return battery pack to your nearest Sears Repair
Center for checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to CHARGING
A COOL BATTERY PACK for normal recharging of
batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery
pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to your nearest Sears Repair Center for
electrical check.

CAUTION:
When placing the battery pack in the
