General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

3) Power tool use and care
a) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

b) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.

c) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

d) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power toolʼs

3

o

peration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

e) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

4) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that

is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any

other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid

contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions for
battery chargers.

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery
pack, and product using battery pack.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated

PORTER-CABLE batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and

damage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power

supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.

WARNING:

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones
in this manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated

PORTER-CABLE rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of

damage to electric plug and cord.

• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the

cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.

• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface
that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place
the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated

through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.

• Do not mount charger on wall or permanently affix charger to any surface. The
charger is intended to use on a flat, stable surface (i.e., table top, bench top).

• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.

• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.

• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock,
electrocution or fire.

7

•

Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will
reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120

Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.

Important Safety Instruction 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.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 persist, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposedto spark orflame.

• Charge the battery packs only in PORTER-CABLE chargers.

• DONOTsplash orimmerseinwater orother 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: 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.

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: 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.

Charging Procedure

PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed to charge PORTER-CABLE battery packs in
30-60 minutes 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.

Charger Diagnostics

The 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.

Bad Battery

The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The LED flashes in the
pattern indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not
continue to charge the battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site
for recycling.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the
battery has normalized. After this happens, the charger automatically switches to
the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The light
flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.

Problem Power Line

When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators
or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend
operation. The LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. This indicates
that the power source is out of limits.

Leaving the Battery In the Charger

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the LED glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features
an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the individual cells in the battery
pack to allow it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly
or whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the
automatic tune-up mode, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged

when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a

normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the
battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service center.

. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on
jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Never

Introduction

The PCC581 IR Thermometeruses an infrared sensor to find leaks along walls,

molding, ductwork and more. The auto color change feature provides quick, intuitive

feedback, showing you where to caulk, insulate, etc.

Once you have determined the location of these leaks, you can properly seal your

home including basic weather stripping and insulation.

Safety Instructions

• Do not operate the IR Thermometer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

• Use only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other batteries may

create a risk of fire.

• The IR Thermometer measures surface temperature, not interior temperature. Do not

use for medical purposes.

• Do not use to determine if meat is cooked enough to eat.

Switching On and Off

• Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on.

• Press the ON/OFF button a second time to turn the unit off.

NOTE: The unit will automatically turn off after 10 minutes. External Operating

Temperature Range is -4

o

F to 140oF (-10oC to 60oC).

Setting Threshold for Color Change:

• For detecting small temperature changes of 1º F (0.5º C), press the +/- TEMP button to

set to the 1º setting on the LCD screen of the detector.

• For detecting medium temperature changes of 5º F (3º C), press the +/- TEMP button

to set to the 5º setting on the LCD screen of the detector.

• For detecting large temperature changes of more than 10º F (5.5º C), press the +/-

TEMP button to set to the 10º setting on the LCD screen of the detector.

• If you do not want the LED spot to change color, press the +/- TEMP button to set at "- - ".

You can change the threshold setting while you are scanning. If the color is changing

erratically, try increasing the "+/- TEMP" setting. If you see a temperature difference on

the screen, but the light is not changing color, try reducing the "+/- TEMP" setting.

Using the IR Thermometer

• Aim the unit near the location you want to scan for a draft or thermal leak. This initial

aim point will be your reference target.

• Squeeze the On/Off button.

• Keep the unit aimed at the reference target until the green light shines on the

target and a Reference Temperature appears on the screen.

• Slowly scan the IR Thermometer across the area of interest. If the scanned

temperature is hotter than the reference temperature by more than the threshold, the

light will turn from green to red. If the scanned temperature is colder than the reference

temperature by more than the threshold, the light will turn from green to blue.

Examples of Use:

• Scan around a light fixture to determine if ceiling insulation was removed during

installation.

• Scan along window and door sills to see where to add weather-stripping.

• Scan where a wall and the floor meet to find drafts that should be caulked.

• Scan an attic door to see if you need to add insulation.

NOTES*:

• Shiny or polished surfaces can give inaccurate readings. To compensate for this, cover

the surface with masking tape or flat colored paint. When the tape or paint reaches the

same temperature as the target underneath, measure the temperature of the item.

Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Materials with low

emissivity value such as shiny or polished surface can give inaccurate readings.

• The thermometer cannot measure through transparent surfaces such as glass or

plastic. It will measure the surface temperature instead.

• Steam, dust, smoke, and other optical obstructions can prevent accurate

measurement. Hold the thermometer back and at an angle for an accurate

measurement.

11

Field of View

The IR Thermometer measures temperature over an area that may be larger than

the LED spot, especially if you are far away from the surface you are measuring. The

diameter of the measured area is 1/12 the distance from the thermometer. In other

words, if you are 12 inches (304 mm) from the target, the thermometer will measure the

average temperature over a circle 1 inch (25mm) in diameter. As shown in the

illustration below, the farther the distance from the target, the larger the measured area.

If you are just looking for hot and cold areas, it's OK if the scanned area is larger than

your target. However, if you want to accurately measure the temperature of an object,

move the thermometer close so that the scanned area is about half the size of the

object you want to measure.
