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.

WARNING:

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We

recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses

with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.
