battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot bat-

the battery pack in the charger. (f the green LED continues
to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Sears
Repair Center for checking or rep(acing.
NOTE: This situat(on on(y occurs when continuous use of
the too( causes the batteries to become hot. (t does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CNARG-
(NG A COOL BATTERY PACK" for norma( recharg(ng
of batteries. (f the charger does not charge your battery
pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery
