or plug —
have them replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to an authorized service center.
•
Do not disassemble charger;
take it
to an authorized service center when
service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
Disconnect the charger from the
outlet before attempting any cleaning.
This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Removing the battery pack will not
reduce this risk.
•
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers
together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on
standard household electrical power
(120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage.

Important Safety Instructions for
Battery Packs
WARNING
:
For safe operation, read
this manual and manuals originally
supplied with tool before using the battery
pack.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of
the carton. Before using the battery pack
and charger, read the safety instructions
below. Then follow charging procedures
outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not incinerate the battery pack
even if it is severely damaged or is
completely worn out.
The battery pack
can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when Li-Ion battery
packs are burned.
•
Do not charge or use battery in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust.
Inserting or removing the battery
from the charger may ignite the dust or
fumes.
•
If battery contents come into contact
with the skin, immediately wash area
with mild soap and water.
If battery
liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over
the open eye for 15 minutes or until
irritation ceases. If medical attention is
needed, the battery electrolyte for Li-Ion
batteries is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts.
•
Contents of opened battery cells may
cause respiratory irritation.
Provide
fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek
medical attention.
WARNING
:
Burn hazard.
Battery liquid
may be flammable if exposed to spark or
flame.
•
Charge the battery packs only in
PORTER-CABLE
chargers.
•
DO NOT splash or immerse in water
or other liquids.
This may cause
premature cell failure.
•
Do not store or use the tool and battery
pack in locations where the temperature
may be reach or exceed 105°F (40˚C)
(such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
WARNING
:
Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If battery pack
case is cracked or damaged, do not insert
into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or
charger that has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or damaged in any
way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery
packs should be returned to service center
for recycling.
WARNING
:
Fire hazard. Do not store
or carry battery so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals.
For
example, do not place battery in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes,
drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys,
etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly
cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins,
hand tools and the like.
The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual batteries, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected
and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: Li-Ion batteries should not be put
in checked baggage.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is
cool and dry away from direct sunlight
and excess heat or cold.
2. Long-term storage will not harm the
battery pack or the charger as long as the
battery is not depleted.
Charging Procedure
PORTER-CABLE
chargers are designed
to charge
PORTER-CABLE
battery
packs. Charge times are: PCC690L and
PCC692L in 35-100 mins., PCC691L and
6
