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 hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light
continuing to blink but with the yellow light continuously
ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger
will resume the charging procedure.
DCB118 and DCB1112 Chargers
The DCB118 and DCB1112 chargers are 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 and the battery pack will need to be recharged.
Important Charging Notes
1. 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.
2. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
c. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
3. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
Wall Mounting
Some D
WALTchargers are designed to be wall mountable
e
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
46
depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

FUTURE USE
Features
E‑Clutch™
This unit is equipped with an E‑Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),
which in the event of a high‑load event, the unit will be shut
off to reduce the reaction torque to the user. The switch
needs to be cycled (turned on and off) to restart tool.
Kickback Brake™
When a pinch, stall, or bind‑up event is sensed, the electronic
brake engages with maximum force to quickly stop the
wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, and shut the
grinder off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned on and off)
to restart the tool.
Power‑Off™ Overload Protection
The power supply to the motor will be reduced in case of
motor overload. With continued motor overload, the tool will
shut off. The switch needs to be cycled (turned on and off)
to restart tool. The tool will power off each time the current
load reaches the overload current value (motor burn‑up
point). If continued overload shutdowns occur, apply less
force/weight on the tool until the tool will function without
the overload engaging.
Electronic Soft Start
This feature limits the initial start‑up speed, allowing the tool
to build up to full speed gradually over a 1 second period.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
Attaching the Auxiliary Handle (Fig. D)
WARNING: This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL
TIMES to maintain complete control of the tool.
Always make sure the handle is tight.
Screw the auxiliary handle

Rotating the Gear Case (Fig. E)
To improve user comfort, the gear case will rotate 90 ° for
cutting operations.
1. Remove the four corner screws (T25) attaching the gear
case to motor housing.
2. Without separating the gear case from motor housing,
rotate the gear case head to desired position.
NoTE: If the gear case and motor housing become
separated by more than 1/8" (3 mm), the tool must be
serviced and reassembled by a D
Failure to have the tool serviced may lead to motor and
bearing failure.
