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.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of

electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V
60Hz household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.

WARNING:
any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock
may result.

WARNING:
submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any
liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing
of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.

CAUTION:
of injury, charge only PORTER-CABLE rechargeable
battery packs. Other types of batteries may
overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and
property damage.

NOTICE:
charger plugged into the power supply, the charger
can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum
foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before
attempting to clean.

CABLE battery packs. Charge times are: PCC690L in 40-80
mins., 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.
5. 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.
