IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY
TOOLS

Batterytoolsdo not have to be pluggedinto an

electricaloutlet;therefore, they are always in

operatingcondition.Be aware ofpossible
hazardswhen not usingyour batterytoolor

when changingaccessories.
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH

YOUR BATTERY TOOL. Do notsubstituteany
othercharger. Use of anothercharger could

cause batteriesto explode causing possible
seriousinjury.

DO NOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR

BA'I-FERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT. They may

explode.

DO NOT CHARGE BATrERY TOOL IN A
DAMP OR WET LOCATION.

Your batterytoolshouldbe charged in a location

where thetemperature is morethan 50°F bLt

lessthan 100°F.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,

batten/leakage may occur, If liquidcomes in

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
When usingyour drill-drive!continuously, the batteriesinyour batterypack will become hat. You shouldleta hot

battery pack cool downfor approximately30 minutes before attemptingto recharge. When the batterypeck
becomes dischargedand is hot, thiswill cause the yellow and green lightson your batterychargerto come on
insteadof the red light.The yellow and green lightsindicatesoft start mode and will switchto green only, indicat-
ing slowchargemode. The red lightindicatesfast charge mode, 1 hourchargetime. The green lightindicates

slowcharge mode, requiringovernightchargingfor batteries to roachfull charge. If the green lightcomes on

after lettingbattery pack cool down, removeit from chargerfor additionalcooling.0 nce the battery pack cools
down, you can recharge battery packin fast charge modeas normal. Do not leave a hot battery peck in charger

untilitcoolsdown, The green lightwill notgo offwhen batterypackcools, Iffast charga mode is desired, you

must physicallyremove a hot batterypack from the charger,let it cool,then place it backin charger after it has

cooled down.

Note: This situationonlyoccurswhen continuous use of yourdrillcauses the batteriesto become hot, Itdoes
notoccurunder normalcimumstances. Refer to "CHARGING BA'I-rERY PACK" for normal rechargingof
batteries.If the charger does not chargeyourbattery pack undernormalcircumstances,return both the battery

packand chargertoyour nearest Sears repaircenter for electricalcheck.

CHARGING BA'I-rERY PACK
The batterypackfor thistool has been shippedin a

lowchargeconditionto prevent possible problems,

Therefore, you shouldcharge ituntil lighton frontof
charger changes from redto green.

Note: Batterieswill not reach full charge the firsttime

they are charged.Allow several cycles(ddlling
followed by recharging) for them to become fully

charged.
TO CHARGE

• Charge battery pack onlywith the charger

provided,

• Make sure power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Ha, AC only.

• Connect charger to power supply.

• Place batterypack in charger aligningraiseddb in
charger withgroove in batterypack.

• Pressdown on battery pack to be sure contactson

battery pack engage propady with charger

contacts.

• Normally,the yellowand green lightson charger

will comeon. Thisindicatescharger is in softstart

mode end shouldswitchtofast charge modewithin
5 minutes.When chargeris infast charge mode
the red lightwillcome on.If after a period of15

minutesthe yellow and green lightsremain on,

remove batterypack, wait 1 minuteand reinsert

batterypack incharger. Ifthe yellowand green

lightscontinueto remain on after an additional 15

minutes,the bettery pack is damaged and willnot

accepta charge. Return battery packto your

nearest Seers Repair Center for checkingor

replacing.

• When your battery pack becomesfullycharged,the

red lightwillturn OFF and the green lightwillturn

ON.

• Afternormalusage, 1 hourof chargingtime is

requiredto be fullycharged,A minimumcharge

time of1-1/2 hours is requiredto rechargea

• The battery pack willbecome slightlywarm to the
touchwhile charging.This is normal and does not

indicatea problem.

• Do not place charger inan area ofextreme heat or
cold. It willwork best at normal roomtemperature.

• When bettedes becomefullycharged, unplug
