The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration

emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.ENGLISH

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns. Battery pack DCB180 DCB181 DCB182 Battery type Li-Ion Li-Ion Li-Ion Voltage V

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

read the instruction manual. General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.ENGLISH

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.ENGLISH

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety Instructions for Cordless Nailers

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.

• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener causing an injury.

• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from your target.

• Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.

• Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.

• Always wear safety glasses.

• Always wear ear protection.

• Only use fasteners of the type specified in the manual.

• Do not use any stands for mounting the tool to a support.

• Do not disassemble or block any parts of the fastener driving tool such as the contact trip.

• Prior to each operation check that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning properly and that all nuts and bolts are tight.

• Do not use the DCN690 – when changing from one driving location to another involving the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders or ladder-like constructions, e.g., roof laths, etc.; – when closing boxes or crates; – when fitting transportation safety systems, e.g., on vehicles, wagons, etc. For exemptions check your local national workplace regulations.

• Always check local workplace regulations.

• Do not use the tool as a hammer.

• Never actuate the fastener driving tool into free space.

• In the work area, carry the tool at the workplace using only one handle, and never with the trigger actuated.

• Consider the conditions in the work area. Fasteners can penetrate thin work pieces or slip off corners and edges of the work piece, and thus put people at risk.

• Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece.

• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners.ENGLISH

Residual Risks The following risks are inherent to the use of these machines: – Injuries caused by improper handling of the tool. – Loss of control due to not gripping tool firmly. – Muscle strain of arms and hands, especially when working overhead. Always take regular breaks when working for long periods of time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Chargers The DCB105 charger accepts 10.8 V, 14.4 V and 18 V Li-Ion (DCB121, DCB123, DCB140, DCB141, DCB142, DCB143, DCB180, DCB181, DCB182, DCB183, DCB184 and DCB185) battery packs. This charger requires no adjustment and is designed to be as easy as possible to operate. Charging Procedure (fi g. 2)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate 230 V

outlet before inserting the battery pack.

2. Insert the battery pack (l) 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 Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before first use. Charging Process Refer to the table below for the state of charge of the battery pack. State of charge charging –– –– –– –– fully charged ––––––––––––––––– hot/cold pack delay –– • –– • –– • –– •

problem pack or charger • • • • • • • • • • • • problem powerline •• •• •• •• •• •• This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger blink pattern. NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised service centre. Hot/Cold Pack Delay When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a hot/cold pack delay, suspending charging until the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. 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. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery warms.ENGLISH

depressed when the tool is not in use. Keep the trigger safety lock-off (b) in the locked position to prevent accidental actuation when the tool is not in use.

5. When changing between sequential and

bump modes, it may be necessary to adjust the driving depth. Refer to Adjusting the Driving Depth for instructions. Using the Trigger Lock-off (fi g. 3) Each DEWALT nailer is equipped with a trigger lock- off (b) which when pushed to the right as shown in Figure 3, prevents the tool from firing a nail by locking the trigger and bypassing power to the motor. When the trigger lock-off is pressed to the left, the tool will be fully operational. The trigger lock- off should always be locked off whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in immediate use. Non-mar Tip (fi g. 1) When using this tool on materials that you do not want to mark, such as wood cladding, use the plastic non-mar tip (m) over the contact trip (c). NOTE: For maximum depth of drive, especially with long nails, the non-mar covered should be removed. LED Indicator (fi g. 1) Your nailer is equipped with two LED indicator lights (e) located on the back of the tool just below the back cap. Also refer to to the Troubleshooting Guide for further instruction. LOW BATTERY Replace battery with a charged pack. HOT PACK Let the battery cool or replace it with a cool pack.

ERROR Reset tool by removing and reinserting battery pack or cycling trigger lock off. If error code persist, take tool to an authorized DEWALT service center. Stall Release (fi g. 1, 3) If the nailer is used in rigorous application where all available energy in the motor is used to drive a fastener, the tool may stall. The driver blade did not complete the drive cycle and the jam/stall indicator(e) will flash. Rotate the stall release lever (f) on the tool and the mechanism will release. If the driver blade does not automatically return to the home position, proceed to Clearing a Jammed Nail. If the unit continues to stall please review the mode selection, material and fastener length to be sure that it is not too rigorous an application. DCN692 If continuous stalling occurs, review speed selection. Depending upon the application, a different speed setting may be necessary. Clearing a Jammed Nail (fi g. 1, 3) If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, the jam/stall indicator light (e) will flash. NOTE: The jam could be as a result of debris build up in the nose channel.
