C. Wire Size of cord is at least as specified in following chart:

If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with
the suffix W-A or W following the cord type designation. For example
– SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – have them replaced
immediately, to avoid a hazard. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER
CORD.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

10. Do not disassemble charger or battery pack. Take it to a qualified

serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

11. Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or

cleaning – to reduce risk of electric shock.

12. Charge the battery pack in a well ventilated place, do not cover the

charger and battery pack with a cloth, etc., while charging.

13. Do not store the charger or battery pack in locations where the

temperature may reach or exceed 122°F (50°C) (such as a metal tool
shed, or a car in the summer), which can lead to deterioration of the
storage battery.

14. Do not charge battery pack when the temperature is BELOW 40°F

(4.4°) or ABOVE 104°F (40°C). This is very important for proper operation.

15. Do not incinerate battery pack. It can explode in a fire.
16. Do not charge battery in damp or wet locations.
17. Do not attempt to charge any other cordless tool or battery pack with

the Porter-Cable charger.

18. Do not short across the terminals of the battery pack: EXTREMELY

HIGH TEMPERATURES COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE.

19. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double Insulation

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and

grounded power supply system.

20. Dispose of expended batteries properly.
The Porter-Cable Battery Packs contain re-
chargeable, nickel-cadmium batteries. These
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Drop off expended battery packs at your local
replacement battery retailer, your local recycling
center, or at a Porter-Cable Service Center (see list on
back page of this manual). Applicable fees for the
collection and recycling of these batteries (in the
United States), have been paid to the RBRC

™

. For
