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 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. The green light
indicates slow charging mode, requiring overnight charging for batteries to reach full charge. 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 drill causes the batteries to become hot. It does
not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING YOUR DRILL-DRIVER" 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.
