IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
Under extreme continuous use, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 1 hour before attempt- ing to recharge. When the battery pack becomes dis- charged 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. Once the battery pack cools
down, it will recharge battery pack in fast charging mode as normal.
Note: This situation only occurs when extreme 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 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.
