WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not operate flashlight or charger near flammable
liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks may ignite fumes
causing personal injury.
WARNING: The lens gets very hot during use. To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch
hot lens. To reduce the risk of fire, keep away from combustible materials while in operation.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it
will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.Sometoolswithlargebatterypackswill

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 gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions for
battery chargers.
WARNING: Beforeusingcharger,readallinstructionsandcautionarymarkingson
charger,batterypack,andproductusingbatterypack.
•Shock hazard.Donotallowanyliquidtogetinsidecharger.
• Burn hazard. Toreducetheriskofinjury,chargeonlydesignatedPORTER-CABLE
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
•Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the charger
can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as,
but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should
bekeptawayfromchargercavities.Alwaysunplugthechargerfromthepowersupply
whenthereisnobatterypackinthecavity.Unplugchargerbeforeattemptingtoclean.
•DO NOT attempt to charge the battery 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
