WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING,
GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

· lead from lead-based paints,

· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

· arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury,
including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Porter-Cable
strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or used for any
application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions
relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have written Porter­Cable and we have advised you.

POLARIZED PLUGS: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to rain.

Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep area well lit. Avoid
chemical or corrosive environment. Do not use tool in presence of flammable
liquids or gases.

3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension
cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and
high or locked-up place – out of reach of children.

6. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.

7. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of
a heavy duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended – for example – do
not use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Loose
clothing, draw strings and jewelry can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

9. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glasses or goggles while operating

power tools. Also face or dust mask if operation creates dust. All persons in
the area where power tools are being operated should also wear safety
glasses and face or dust mask.

10. DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Have damaged
or worn power cord and strain reliever replaced immediately. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER CORD.

11. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

12. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better

and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Have all worn, broken or lost parts replaced immediately. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

14. DISCONNECT TOOLS when not in use, before servicing, and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning it on.

16. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Do not carry a plugged-in tool with
finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in. Keep hands, body and
clothing clear of blades, bits, cutters, etc. when plugging in the tool.

17. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use
only extension cords marked

with the suffix W-A

or W “Suitable for use with

outdoor appliances – store indoors when not in use.”

18. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired or while under the influence of medication,
alcohol or drugs.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have
defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if
switch does not turn it on and off.

20. WEAR EAR PROTECTION to safeguard against possible hearing loss.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PORTABLE DRILLS

1. ALWAYS hold drill by the handle(s) ONLY to prevent accidental electrical

shock resulting from cutting a live wire when drilling into a wall or other blind
areas.

2. DO NOT use bits larger than those recommended. They increase the
chance of jamming. Large bits may also overload the drill and damage the
motor and gears.

3. USE ONLY the proper chuck key to tighten or loosen the chuck. Do not
use chuck if jaws or other parts are cracked or worn.

4. VERIFY the drill’s rotation before starting the drill so it is correct for the

operation being performed.

5. NEVER change direction or rotation of reversing model until motor has
completely stopped.

6. NEVER hold work in your hand, lap, or against other parts of your body
when drilling.

7. DO NOT use drill as a router or try to elongate or enlarge holes by twisting
the drill. Drill bits may break and cause injury.

8. APPLY FORWARD FORCE on the pistol grip handle ONLY, and ONLY
with your hands. Models with auxiliary handle: grasp auxiliary handle with one
hand to resist rotational force.

9. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC.

Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with
these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from
your material supplier.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

MOTOR

Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60
cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on
the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for
A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper
voltage and current rating.

CAUTION: Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage
is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on
D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.

EXTENSION CORD SELECTION

If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible
motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in
this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts
for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.

If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix
W-A

or W

following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
