WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
[] Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger, battery, and product using battery to prevent misuse of the products and possible injury or damage.
_1_ CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger and battery, charge only nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries as specifically designated on your charger. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
[] Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or damp conditions.
Water entering charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
[] Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
[] Do not abuse cord or charger.
Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than the plug when disconnecting from receptacle.
Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.
[] Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could result in electric shock.
[] Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
[] Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
[] Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
[] Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check to determine if the charger is in good working order.
[] Do not disassemble charger.
Take it to an authorized serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
[] Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
[] Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening. It also will help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
[] Risk of electric shock.
Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
[] Save these instructions.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the 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 green LED to come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Sears
Repair Center for checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of the tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances.
Refer to "Charging a Cool Battery Pack" 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.
