•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
WARNING:
Never attempt to open 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: Fire hazard. Do not 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.
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-termstoragewillnotharmthechargerorbatterypack(aslongasthebattery

CHARGING PROCEDURE
PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed to charge PORTER-CABLE battery packs.
Charge times are: PCC690L and PCC692L in 35-100 mins., PCC691L in 65-200 mins.
and PCC695L in 160-300 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.TheLEDwillflashindicatingthatthebatteryisbeingcharged.
4.ThecompletionofchargeisindicatedbytheLEDremainingoncontinuously.
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.
