7. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
A. That the pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and
shape as those of plug on charger.
B. That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
C. Wire Size of cord is at least as specified in following chart:
D. 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.
8.
Do not operate
charger with damaged cord or plug – have them replaced
immediately, to avoid a hazard. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER CORD.
9. 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°C) 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 contains rechargeable,
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
