LUBRICATION

Your tool was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. Once every year take or send your tool to a PORTER-CABLE service center, or authorized service station, for a complete cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Tools "out of service" for long periods should be relubricated before being put back to work.

THE RBRC™ SEAL

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the LI-ION or NI-CD battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by PORTER-CABLE.

RBRC™ in cooperation with PORTER-CABLE and other battery users, has established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent LI-ION or NI-CD batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent LI-ION or NI-CD battery to an authorized PORTER-CABLE service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

RBRC™ is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
