IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY
CHARGERS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions for
battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery

pack, and product using battery pack.

Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.

Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated

PORTER-CABLE batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.

Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power

supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a
conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the

ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work
together.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated

PORTER-CABLE rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of

damage to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or

otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper

extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)

for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.
