•
Do not operate the 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 the 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.
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
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D
WALT rechargeable battery packs.
e
Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions,
with the charger plugged into the power supply, the
charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not
limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply when there
is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger
before attempting to clean.
Charging a Battery
nOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-
ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
2. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure
the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will
blink continuously indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the light
remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be removed and used at this time or
left in the charger.
nOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require
the battery pack release button to be pressed.

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132:
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator
light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the
battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the
yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the
charging procedure.
A charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
refusing to light could indicate a problem with the charger
or a faulty battery pack.
nOTE: If the charger refuses to light, take the charger and
battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.
leaving the Battery Pack in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the charge indicator showing pack charged.
hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an
appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery pack life.
A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a
warm battery pack.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan
designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on
automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled.
Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate
properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit
foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.
Electronic Protection System
Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against
overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-
ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully charged.
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 – 75 °F (18 ° C– 24 °C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or
above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
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.
