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.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

FOREWORD

The Porter-Cable Model 6602 Shear is designed for cutting cold rolled steel sheets of up to 18 Ga. and stainless steel sheets of up to 20 Ga. Both straight and curved cuts (minimum radius: 7") may be made. The Shear removes a ¼" wide, continuous curl of waste material without bending or burring the finished workpiece.

The Porter-Cable Model 6604 Cement Siding Shear is designed for cutting cement siding. Both straight and curved cuts (minimum radius: 7") may be made. The Shear removes a ¼" wide piece of waste material.
