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 cools 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 ddll 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.

A 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.
