• 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

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 persists, seek medical attention.

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).

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.

BATTERY CAP INFORMATION

Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the

battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in

charger or tool.

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: Lithium ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and

excess heat or cold.

2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger. Under proper conditions

LI-ION batteries, can be stored for 5 years or more.
