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.

WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a radioactive fluid.

WARNING: when using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Always place tile flat on cart and securely against fence.
• NEVER USE A PAN HEATER OR OTHER HEAT SOURCE FOR HEATING WATER. Damage to the tool, fire or personal injury could result.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
• 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.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a cutting wheel with the direction of rotation only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
• ENSURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE INSERTING BATTERY PACK. Inserting battery pack inot power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• USE POWER TOOLS ONLY WITH SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED BATTERY PACKS. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
• 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.
• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY PACK FROM THE TOOL OR PLACE THE SWITCH IN THE LOCKED OR OFF POSITION BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, CHANGING ACCESSORIES, OR STORING THE TOOL. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
  • 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.

Charging a Battery

PORTER-CABLE chargers are designed to charge PORTER-CABLE battery packs. Charge times are: PCC690L in 40–80 mins., PCC691L in 70–140 mins., PCC692/PCC692L in 40–80 mins., and PCC695L/PCC699L in 65-240 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.

1. The LED will flash indicating that the battery is being charged.

1. 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.

1. 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.

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.

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.

State of Charge Indicator (Fig. B)

Some PORTER-CABLE tools include a state of charge indicator which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack. The state of charge indicator is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators:

75–100% charged

51–74% charged

< 50% charged

Pack needs to be charged

To actuate the state of charge indicator, press and hold the state of charge indicator button. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level

of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the state of charge indicator will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.

Types of Cuts (Fig. A, S)

WARNING: Do not make freehand cuts.

Always do a practice run to acquaint yourself with the path of the blade. Practice on a scrap tile to ensure that you are comfortable with the feel of the cutting operation. Push the cart past the blade before turning the saw on.

Straight Cuts

1. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on tile.
2. Place the tile on the cutting cart against the cutting cart fence 9 and align your mark with the blade.
3. Pull the on/off switch up to turn the saw on and wait for the blade to be completely covered with water.
4. Ease the cutting cart toward the blade then slowly feed the tile into the blade. Continue pushing until the blade cuts completely through the tile.
   nOTE: The flip hood on the splash hood can be rotated up to help align the line on the tile with the blade.
5. Turn off the saw.

Diagonal Cuts

Diagonal cuts are also referred to as "long point to long point cuts."

1. Install the edge guide.
2. Align the point of the tile closest to the cutting cart fence 9 with the cut indicator 32.
3. Align the front of the tile to the blade and hold against the edge guide.
4. Turn the saw on and make the cut.
5. Turn off the saw.

L-Cuts

An L-cut is a section that is removed from of a piece of tile and is used when cutting a piece of tile to fit in a corner of a cabinet or piece of trim molding.

1. Outline the area to be cut on both sides of the tile.
2. Align the tile to the cutting cart fence and make the cut far enough into the tile without overcutting.
3. Make a cut on the other mark on the tile without overcutting.
4. Turn the tile over and make the cut along one of the outlines, but this time an overcut can occur without damaging the exposed surface of the tile due to the radius of the blade. Overcut the other line and the cut piece should be separate from the rest of the tile.
5. Turn off the saw.

Adjustments (Fig. A, S)

The cutting cart fence and rails are properly aligned from the factory. Shipping or prolonged use can cause them to become misaligned and need adjustment.

Squaring the Cutting Cart Fence to the Blade

1. Lay a 90° square flat on the blade surface with one end against the cart fence 9.
2. If the blade is not 90^ to the cart fence, the rail will need adjustment.
3. Loosen the cart fence adjustment screw.
4. Adjust the fence until it is square to the blade.
5. Tighten the cart fence adjustment screw.

Adjusting the Cutting Cart Parallel to the Blade

1. Lay a 90° square flat on the blade surface with one end against the cart fence 9.

Fig. S

32

1. If the blade is not 90^ to the cart fence, the rail will need adjustment.
2. Loosen the three front and rear screws on the left guide rail, and adjust rail until it is parallel to the blade.
3. Move the rail until the cart fence is square to the blade.
4. Tighten the three rail screws.

An accidental start-up can cause injury. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position.

Lubrication

WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lantants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can seriously affect the life and performance of the tool and may result in personal injury.

PORTER-CABLE tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. However, it is recommended that, once a year, you take or send the tool to a certified service center for a thorough cleaning and inspection.

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

English
