Craftsman 172.67098 operating instructions Forward, Installing the Battery

OPERATION cont.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK cont. (Fig. 5 and 5a)

8.The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

9.Do not place the battery charging stand / transformer in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.

10.When battery pack becomes fully charged, unplug battery charging stand / transformer from power supply and remove the battery pack.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK

When using your tool 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.

NOTE: A hot battery pack only occurs when prolonged continuous use of your drill/driver causes the batteries to become hot. It should not occur with typical use.

!CAUTION: When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the drill and latches into place properly. Improper installation of the battery pack can cause damage to internal components.

!WARNING: Cordless Battery Tools are always in operating condition when the battery pack is installed in the tool. Therefore the Forward / Reverse Selector Switch with Power Lock-Off should always be in the center position, locking the power off, when the tool is not in use or when you are carrying it at your side.
