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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARG­
ING HOT BATTERIES
When using your worklight 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: This situation only occurs when 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 re­
charging 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.
