• 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 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

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.

PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed to charge
Charging Procedure
PORTER-CABLE battery packs in 30-60 minutes
depending on the pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. (Fig. B)
3. The LED will flash indicating that the
battery is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by
the LED remaining on continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at
this time or left on the charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may be
greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is
recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery
