IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY PACKS

WARNING:
For safe operation, read this manual and manuals originally supplied
with tool before using the charger.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and
charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
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 LI-ION battery packs are burned.
Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger
may ignite the dust or fumes.
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
for Li-ion batteries 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 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
reach or exceed 105°F (40C˚) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
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.
