Operation - Craftsman 973.274960 Owner's Manual

WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields when operating
tools. Failure to do so could result in objects
being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your
drill-driver to make you careless. Remember that
a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
CHARGING YOUR DRILL-DRIVER
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore, you should charge it until light on front of
charger changes from red to green.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling
followed by recharging) for them to become fully
charged.
TO CHARGE
Charge battery pack only with the charger
provided.
Make sure power supply is normal house
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
Connect charger to power supply.
Place battery pack in charger aligning raised rib in
charger with groove in battery pack.
Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with charger
contacts.

OPERATION

Normally, the yellow and green lights on charger
will come on. This indicates charger is in soft start
mode and should switch to fast charge mode within
5 minutes. When charger is in fast charge mode
the red light will come on. If after a period of 15
minutes the yellow and green lights remain on,
remove battery pack, wait 1 minute and re-insert
batery pack in charger. If the yellow and green
lights continue to remain on after an additional 15
minutes, the battery pack is damaged and will not
accept a charge. Return battery pack to your
nearest Sears Repair Center for checking or
replacing.
When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the
red light will turn OFF and the green light will turn
ON.
After normal usage, 1 hour of charging time is
required to be fully charged. A minimum charge
time of 1-1/2 hours is required to recharge a
completely discharged tool.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat
or cold. It will work best at normal room
temperature.
CAUTION:
high temperature batteries to help prevent battery
damage when left on charge for extended periods
of time. However, once the batteries become fully
charged, we recommend that you unplug your
charger from power supply and remove battery
pack.
