IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual
contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger item number 9-11039.
Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger, and product using battery charger,
WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, charge only
nickel-cadmium type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or
when changing accessories,
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH
YOUR BATTERY TOOL. Do not substitute any
other charger. Use of another charger could cause batteries to explode causing possible serious injury.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
To reduce risk of damage to charger body and cord, pull by charger body rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension 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

may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means attention!!! Your safety is involved.
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 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, indicat ing 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 coots 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 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.
WARNING;
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.
