IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
When using your drill-driver continuously,
the batteries in
your 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 yellow
and green lights on your batten/charger
to come on
instead of the red light. The yellow and green lights
indicate soft start mode and will switch to green only,
indicating slow charge mode. The red light indicates fast
charge mode, 1 hour charge time.. The green light indi-
cates slow charge mode, requiring overnight charging for
batteries to reach full charge. If the green light comes on
after letting battery pack cool down, remove it from
charger for additional cooling. Once the battery pack cools
down, you can recharge battery pack in fast charge mode
as normal. Do not leave a hot battery pack in charger
until it cools down. The green light will not go off when
battery pack cools If fast charge mode is desired, you
must physically remove a hot battery pack from the
charger, let it cool, then place it back in charger after it
has cooled down
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
your drill causes the batteries to become hot It does not
occur under normal circumstances
Refer to "CHARGING
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..
