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 designated
PORTER-CABLE rechargeable
batteries. Any other uses may result in
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will reduce
risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that 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.
• 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. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains
at least the minimum wire size.
• Do not place any object on top of
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

reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fire.
