Charging Procedure (fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate 230 V
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (g) into the charger,
making sure the pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY (DCB107)
The DCB107 charger has a hot/cold delay feature.
When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it
automatically delays charging until the battery has
cooled.
When the charger detects a battery that is cold, it
automatically delays charging until the battery has
warmed.
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this
operation. Once the battery has cooled, the yellow
light will turn off and the charger will resume the
charging procedure.
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
Li-Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
