CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs for this tool are shipped in a low charge con-
dition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should
charge them until the green LED on the front of the charger
comes on.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by
recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is below normal temperature range, the green
LED on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to reach
normal temperature, then the red LED will come on.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to the nearest Sears Repair Center for
electrical check.
n
Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.
n
Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
n
Connect the charger to the power supply.
n
Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove in the charger. See
Figure 3.
n
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
n
Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This indi-
cates the charger is in fast charging mode.
n
Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the bat-
tery pack is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.
n
If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates
a deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Al-
low the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15
to 30 minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the
red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may
indicate a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.
n
After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.
n
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
