IMPORTANT: The batteries in your
tool are not fully charged at the
factory. Before attempting to charge
them, thoroughly read all of the safety
instructions.
To charge your screwdriver,
follow the steps below:
1. Plug the output cord
of the charger into
the socket in the
bottom half of the
screwdriver handle
as shown in
Figure 1
.
2. Plug the charger into
any standard 120
Volt 60 Hz
electrical outlet
3. Let the tool charge
initially for
9 hours
.
After the initial
charge, under normal usage, your tool
should be fully charged in
3 to 6 hours
.
WARNING:
When disconnecting the
tool from the charger, be sure to
unplug the charger from the outlet first,
then disconnect the charger cord from
extreme usage, charging or
temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. However, if the
outer seal is broken and this leakage
gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes,
flush them with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
MEDICAL NOTE:
The liquid is a
25-35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.
8. Use only the supplied charger when
charging your tool. The use of any
other charger could damage the
screwdriver or create a hazardous
condition.
9. Use only one charger when charging.
10. Do not attempt to open the charger.
There are no customer serviceable
parts inside. Return to any authorized
Sears service center.
11. DO NOT incinerate the tool or
batteries even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out. The
batteries can explode in a fire.
12. A small leakage of liquid from the
battery cells may occur under

connected to the charger.
Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your tool should
be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the
batteries are run down completely, it
may take up to 6 hours to become
fully charged. Your tool was sent from
the factory in an uncharged condition.
Before attempting to use it, it must be
charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air
temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or
above 105°F (+40,5 °C). This is
important and will prevent serious
damage to the batteries. Longest life
and best performance can be
obtained if batteries are charged
when air temperature is about 75°F.
3. While charging, the charger may hum
and become warm to touch. This is a
normal condition and does not
indicate a problem.
4. If the batteries do not charge
properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by
1
18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length,
be sure each extension contains at
least the minimum wire size for the
total length.
