SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS
[] USE ONLY THE CHARGER RECOMMENDED
FOR USE WITH YOUR WORKLIGHT. Do not
substitute any other charger. Use of another
charger could cause batteries to explode causing
possible serious injury.
[] Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F but less
than 100°R
[] Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then
seek immediate medical attention.
WARNNNG: Batteries vent hydrogen gas and
can explode in the presence of a source of igni-
tion, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless
product in the presence of open flame. An ex-
ploded battery can propel debris and chemicals.
If exposed, flush with water immediately.
WARNING" Never use a battery pack that
has been damaged or received a sharp blow. A
damaged battery pack is subject to explosion.
Properly dispose of a damaged battery pack im-
mediately. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
[] WHEN SERViCiNG USE ONLY iDENTiCAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGER
[] Before using battery charger, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings in this manual,
on battery charger, and product using battery

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge
only nickel-cadmium type rechargeable batter-
ies. Other types of batteries may burst causing
personal injury and damage.
[] Do not expose to wet or damp conditions.
[] To reduce the risk of damage to charger body
and cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
[] An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper exten-
sion cord could result in a risk of fire and electric
shock. Ifextension cord must be used, make
sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25' 50' 100'
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage
[] DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER WiTH A DAM=
AGED CORD OR PLUG. If damaged, have

BATTERY PACK/CHARGER
The battery pack and charger are not included with
your worklight. They are both sold separately. When
purchasing, use the following information:
MODEL NO. BATTERY PACK CHARGER
973.113911 item No. _911375 item No. _911041
(1323517 or 1323903) (1425301)
BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for your worklight has been shipped
in a low charge condition to prevent possible prob-
lems. 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 (operating
worklight followed by recharging) for batteries to
become fully charged.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 1.
[] Use only the recommended battery pack and
charger with your worklight.
[] 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 on battery pack with groove in charger.
See Figure 1.
[] Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts
on battery pack engage properly with contacts in
charger.
[] Normally, the red LED on charger will come on.
This indicates 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 trickle charge mode. Note: Green
LED will remain on until battery pack is removed
from charger or charger is disconnected from
power supply.
BATTERYPACK
SHOWNIN CHARGER
CHARGER
[] If both yellow and green LED come on, this
indicates a deeply discharged or defective battery
pack.
Allow battery pack to remain in charger for 15 to
30 minutes. When battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, red LED should come on.
If red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this
indicates a defective battery pack and 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 charger and battery pack in an area
of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal
room temperature.
Note: 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
charger from power supply and remove the bat-
tery pack.
iNFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT
BATTERY PACK
When using your worklight continuously, the batteries
in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a
hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 min-
utes 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 battery pack in charger. If
green LED continues to remain on, return battery pack
to your nearest Sears Repair Center for checking or
replacing.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous
use of your worklight 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.
