IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
When using your drill-driver continuously, the batter­
ies in your battery pack wilt 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 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.
