BATTERY PACK

The battery pack for your toot has been shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge it overnight prior to use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES

When using your drill-driver continuously, the batteries in your battery pack wilt become hot. You should let a hot battery pack coot down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge.

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 BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If the charging assembly 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.
