Do not place any object on top of the 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 top and the
bottom of the housing.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord

blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
Do not disassemble the charger; 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.
The charger is designed to operate on standard
•
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but
•
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger cavities and
ventilation slots.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply

Charging a Battery
PORTER‑CABLE chargers are designed to charge
PORTER‑CABLE battery packs. Charge times are: PCC690L in
40–80 mins., PCC691L in 70–140 mins., PCC692/PCC692L
in 40–80 mins., and PCC695L/PCC699L in 180‑360 mins.
depending on the pack being charged.
nOTE: Refer to label near charging light(s) on charger for
blink patterns.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack.
3. The LED will flash indicating that the battery is
being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the LED
remaining on continuously. The pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in
the charger.

WARNING: Only charge batteries in air temperature
over 40 ° F (4.5 ° C) and below 104 ° F (+40 ° C).
5. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may
be indicated by the charging light(s) staying OFF. Take
charger and battery pack to an authorized service center
if light(s) stay(s) OFF.
nOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers
require the battery pack release button to be pressed.

this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge
the battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site
for recycling.
hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, the light flashes in the pattern indicated on
the label. It automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack.
Electronic Protection System
Li‑Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically
turn off and the battery pack will need to be recharged.
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.
