inflict severe injury.
CHARGING
BATTERY
PACK
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 household
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.
•
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 reinsert
battery 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.
•
When batteries become fully charged, unplug
charger from power supply and remove the battery
pack.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
FOR RECHARG-
ING 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 battery
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 indicates 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 recharg-
ing 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.
