of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel
cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries
to an authorized PORTER-CABLE service center or to your
local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to drop off the

Wireless Certifications and Safety
Information
• This device is CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B) compliant.
• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and
Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
ʵ This device may not cause harmful interference, and
ʵ This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
ʵ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
ʵ Increase the separation between the equipment
and adaptor.
ʵ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the adaptor is connected.
ʵ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
• Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user's
authority to operate the device. This Class B digital
apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
• Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter
may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication.
• To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation
exposure limits for general population, the antenna used
for this device must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
• 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 PORTER-CABLE rechargeable
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that the 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.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
