electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
• The PCCR701 Charger / Radio is designed to operate on
120 Volts, 60 Hz AC or on direct current (DC) through fully
charged PORTER-CABLE 20V Max* lithium-ion battery
packs. Do not use any other voltage.
• Use type SJW, SJOW, SJTW, SJTOW, SW, SOW, STW and
STOW cord when operating the Charger / Radio on
AC power.
• Secure the Charger / Radio in upright position
while transporting.

CAUTION: Only use Charger / Radio on stable surface.
Do not raise above work space/personnel via lifting,
hoisting, mounting, or suspension.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The
symbols and their definitions are as follows:
V ......................... volts
Hz ....................... hertz
min ..................... minutes
or DC ...... direct current
...................... Class I Construction

.../min .............. per minute
BPM .................... beats per minute
IPM ..................... impacts per minute
RPM .................... revolutions per
minute
sfpm ................... surface feet per
minute
SPM .................... strokes per minute
A ......................... amperes
W ........................ watts
or AC ........... alternating current
Use of Extension Cords with Charger / Radio
When a long extension cord is used to connect a Charger /
Radio or tool, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord,
the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage
being supplied to the Charger / Radio or tool and increases
the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance.
A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage
drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough
voltage to operate your tool and/or Charger / Radio .

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Keep extension cord
connection dry and off the ground.

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition.
Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they
can cause electrical shock.

WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage
can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long
extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
For more information about extension cord size
requirements, refer to the Minimum gauge for Cord sets
chart found under Important Safety Instructions for the
Battery Charger.

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the
safety instructions below and then follow charging
procedures outlined. When ordering replacement battery
packs, be sure to include the catalog number and voltage.
Your tool uses a PORTER-CABLE charger. Be sure to read all
safety instructions before using your charger. Consult the
chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers
and battery packs.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions for All

Battery Packs


WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive
•
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO
NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into
a non-compatible charger as battery pack may
rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult
the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated PORTER-
CABLE chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
•
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in
a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when lithium ion battery packs
are burned.
If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
•
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open
eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of
a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
