LED light comes on when the charging stand is plugged Into a power outlet. When a
battery pack is put into the charging stand, the green LED light will go off and the
red LED will light, indicating that the battery pack is charging properly (see Fig. 3a).
When the battery pack is fully charged, the red LED will go off and green LED light will
go on to show that battery is fully charged. When the battery pack is removed from the
charging stand, the green LED will stay on until it is unplugged.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using your tool 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.
NOTE: A hot battery pack only occurs when prolonged continuous use of your
trimmer causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur with typical use.
Within the warranty period, if the battery pack becomes hot with typical use,
return the charging stand and battery pack to your nearest Sears store or other
Craftsman outlet for free replacement.
