IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
When using your reciprocating saw 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 red light on your battery charger to flash. When battery pack cools down, red
light will glow continuously indicating fast charging mode, 1 hour charge time. Once the battery pack cools down, it will
recharge battery pack in fast charging mode as normal.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your saw causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batter-
ies. 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.
