Craftsman 315.268260 - Manual (Page 4)

OPERATION
The battery pack and charger are not included with
this worklight. They are both sold separately. If you
decide to purchase a battery pack and charger, use
battery pack item number 2 11034 (9891404-001) and
charger item numbers 11040 (981399-001).
CHARGING BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore, you should charge it until light on front of
charger changes from red to green.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (operating
worklight followed by recharging) for batteries to
become fully charged.
TO CHARGE
■ Charge battery pack only with the recommended
charger.
■ Make sure power supply is normal house
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Connect charger to power supply.
Attach battery pack to charger by aligning raised
ribs on battery pack with grooves in charger, then
slide battery back onto charger. See Figure 1.
Red light should turn on. Red light indicates fast
charging mode.
If red light is flashing, this indicates battery pack is
deeply discharged or hot.
If battery pack is hot, red light should become
steady after battery pack has cooled down.
If battery pack is deeply discharged, red light
should become steady after voltage has increased,
normally within 60 minutes.
If after one hour red light is still flashing, this
indicates a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.
Green light on indicates battery pack is fully charged
and slow charging to maintain battery pack.
Yellow light on and red light flashing indicates
defective battery pack. Return battery pack to your
nearest Sears Repair Center for checking or
replacing.
■ When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the red
light will turn OFF and the green light will turn ON.
■ After normal usage, 1 hour of charging lime is required
to be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1-1/2
hours is required to recharge a completely discharged
tool.
■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
■ Do not place charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
■ When the batteries become fully charged, unplug
your charger from power supply and remove the
battery pack.
LED FUNCTION OF CHARGER
LED WILL BE LIGHTED TO INDICATE STATUS OF
CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK:
■ Red LED Lighted = Fast Charging Mode.
■ Green LED Lighted = Fully Charged And Slow
Charging To Maintain Battery Pack.
■ Red LED Flashing = Hot Or Deeply Discharged
. Battery Pack. Also Defective Battery Pack After 1
Hour.
■ Yellow LED Lighted and Red LED Flashing =
Defective Battery Pack.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES
Under extreme continuous use, the batteries in your
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot
battery pack cool down for approximately 1 hour
before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack
becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the red
light on your battery charger to flash. When battery
pack cools down, red light will glow continuously
indicating fast charging mode, 1 hour charge time.
Once the battery pack cools down, it will recharge
battery pack in fast charging mode as normal.
Note: This situation only occurs when extreme
continuous use of your worklight 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
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.
