originally supplied with tool before using the charger.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and
charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are
created when lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with
mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte
for Li-ion batteries is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts. For Ni-Cd batteries it is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air.
If symptoms persists, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed
to spark or flame.
• 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 (40C˚) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).

reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not
crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with
a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to
