IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
Fig. 2
When using your trim saw 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. When the battery pack
becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the yellow and green lights on your battery charger to come on
instead of the red light. The yellow and green lights indicate soft start mode and will switch to green only, indicat­
ing slow charge mode. The red light indicates fast charge mode, 1 hour charge time. The green light indicates
slow charge tpode, requiring overnight charging for batteries to reach fuli charge. If the green light comes on
after letting battery pack cool down, remove it from charger for additional cooling. Once the battery pack cools
down, you can recharge battery pack in fast charge mode as normal. Do not leave a hot battery pack in charger
until it cools down. The green light will not go off when battery pack cools. If fast charge mode is desired, you
must physically remove a hot battery pack from the charger, let it cool, then place it back in charger after it has
cooled down.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of your saw causes the batteries to become hot. It does
not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING YOUR TRIM SAW" 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.
