• 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 for LI-ION
batteries is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts. For NI-CD batteries it is a 25-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.
• contents of opened battery cells may
cause respiratory irritation. Provide
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention.
WARNING:
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 (40˚C) (such as outside sheds
or metal buildings in summer).
WARNING:
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:
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
Burn hazard. Battery
Never attempt to open

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. 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 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.
charger diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain
problems that can arise with the battery packs
or the power source. Problems are indicated
by one LED flashing in different patterns.
