Storage Recommendations; Charging Procedure - Porter Cable PCC740 Manuel D'instructions

• 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.
• 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 (40˚C) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).
WARNING
:
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 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 service center
for recycling.
WARNING
:
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.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in
a tool with the trigger switch locked on.
Never attempt to open
Fire hazard. Do not
Never tape the trigger switch in the ON
position.
NEVER force the battery pack into the
charger. DO NOT modify the battery pack
in any way to fit into a non-compatible
charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is
cool and dry away from direct sunlight
and excess heat or cold.
2. Long-term storage will not harm the
battery pack or the charger as long as the
battery is not depleted.

Charging Procedure

PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed
to charge PORTER-CABLE battery
packs. Charge times are: PCC690L in
40-80 mins., PCC699L /PCC691L in
70-140 mins., PCC692/PCC692L in 40-80
mins., and PCC695L in 180-360 mins.
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.
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.
Charger Diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain
problems that can arise with the battery packs
or the power source. Problems are indicated
by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad Battery
The charger can detect a weak or
damaged battery. The LED flashes in
the pattern indicated on the label. If you see
this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue
to charge the battery. Return it to a service
center or a collection site for recycling.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery
that is excessively hot or excessively
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the
battery has normalized. After this happens,
the charger automatically switches to the
Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The light flashes in
the pattern indicated on the label.
