Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature
is between 65 °F – 75 °F (18 ° C– 24 °C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or
above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
4. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE USE
Wall Mounting
Some PORTER‑CABLE chargers are designed to be wall
mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall
mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical
outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which
may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a
template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall.
Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased
separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the
screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger
with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can cause injury.
Attaching the Auxiliary Handle (Fig. A)

Guards
CAUTION: Guards must be used with all grinding
wheels, sanding flap discs, wire brushes, and wire
wheels. The tool may be used without a guard only
when sanding with conventional sanding discs. Refer
to Figure A to see guards provided with the unit. Some
applications may require purchasing the correct guard
from your local dealer or authorized service center.
nOTE: Edge grinding can be performed with Type 27 wheels
designed and specified for this purpose; 1/4" (6.35 mm) thick
wheels are designed for surface grinding.
nOTE: See the Accessories Chart to select the proper
guard / accessory combination.

2. Push the guard down until the guard lugs
and rotate freely in the groove on the gear case hub.
3. With the guard latch open, rotate the guard into the
desired working position. The guard body should be
positioned between the spindle and the operator to
provide maximum operator protection.
4. Close the guard latch to secure the guard on the gear
case cover. You should not be able to rotate the guard
by hand when the latch is closed. Do not operate
the grinder with a loose guard or the clamp lever in
open position.
Removing guard (Fig. B)
To remove the guard, open the guard latch, rotate the guard
so that the lugs on the guard are aligned with the slots on
the gear case cover, and pull the guard away from the gear
case cover.
nOTE: The guard is pre‑adjusted to the diameter of the gear
case hub at the factory. If, after a period of time, the guard
becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw
the closed position and guard installed on the tool.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the adjusting screw with the
latch in the open position. Undetectable damage to
the guard or the mounting hub may result. If the guard
cannot be tightened by the guard latch, do not use the
tool and take the tool and guard to a service center to
repair or replace the guard.
