SERVICE AND REPAIRS
All quality tools eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due to
wear from normal use. Some user serviceable components are described in
the TROUBLESHOOTING Section. Complete product Service is available
from either an AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a
PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER. All repairs made by these agencies are
fully guaranteed against defective material and workmanship. We cannot
guarantee repairs made or attempted by anyone other than these agencies.
Should you have any questions about your tool, feel free to write us at any
time. In any communications, please give all information shown on the
nameplate of your tool (model number, type, serial number, etc.).
