OPERATION
A WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields when operating tools.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown
into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with your drill­
driver to make you careless. Remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for your tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it overnight prior to use.
Note; Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling followed by
recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK

■ Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
■ Make sure power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Connect charger to power supply.
■ Place battery pack in charging stand. Align raised rib
on battery pack with groove in charging stand.
See Figure 1.
■ Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with contacts in charging
stand.
■ The charge indicator light (LED), located on the
charging stand, will light up red and glow when the
charger is properly connected to power supply. This
light indicates the charger is operating properly. It will
remain on until battery pack is removed from charging
stand or the charger is disconnected from power
supply.
■ Note: If charger does not charge battery pack, return
battery pack and charger to your nearest Sears Repair

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

cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.

from power supply and remove the battery pack.
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.
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.
