IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturerʼs
instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12.Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the
productʼs enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating an maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
NOTE: 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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTICE: Per FCC Part 15, changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly
approved by PORTER-CABLE could void your authority to operate this equipment.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to
rain or moisture. Use only in dry locations. USE ONLY WITH PORTER CABLE BATTERY
PACKS. OTHERS MAY BURST CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE.
WHEN USING THE AC RECEPTACLE, FULLY INSERT ATTACHMENT PLUGS. DO NOT
USE THE RECEPTACLE IF THE ATTACHMENT PLUG CANNOT BE FULLY INSERTED.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot fully insert.
• Do not disassemble radio. 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 radio from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will
reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• This radio is designed to operate on 120 Volts, 60 Hz AC. It also operates on Porter-
Cable battery packs. Do not use any other voltage.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions
are as follows:
V ..........................volts
Hz ........................hertz
min ........................minutes
......................direct current
........................Class I Construction
(grounded)
.......................... Class II Construction
........................ safety alert symbol
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using and extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. 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 smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
