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
