[] Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.
[] Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the battery
pack is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.
[] If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates
a deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Allow
the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 to 30
minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the red
LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may
indicate a defective battery pack that should be
replaced.
[] After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging
time is required to fully recharge battery pack.
[] The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
[] Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area
of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal
room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed
in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F
but less than 100°R
[] When batteries become fully charged, unplug the
charger from power supply and remove the battery
pack.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the product 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 green
LED to come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes,
reinsert the battery pack in the charger. If the green LED
continues to remain on, return battery pack to your
nearest Sears or other qualified service center for check-
ing or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the product 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
or other qualified service center for electrical check.
