The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.
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 workingperiod. 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 workingperiod. 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 workpatterns.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents. 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 orfumes. c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
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 electricshock. 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 orgrounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock.
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 personalinjury. 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 personalinjuries. 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 invitesaccidents. Batteries Chargers/Charge Times (Minutes) Cat # V

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personalinjury. e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations. 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 movingparts. 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-relatedhazards.
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 wasdesigned. 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 berepaired. 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 toolaccidentally. 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 untrainedusers. 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 powertools. f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. 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 hazardoussituation.
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 batterypack. b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire. 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 afire. 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 orburns.
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 ismaintained. Additional Specific Safety Rules for Drill/ Driver/Hammerdrill
- Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearingloss.
- Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personalinjury.
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electricshock.
- Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.
- Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eyedamage.
- Accessories and tool may get hot during operation. Wear gloves when handling them if performing heat producing applications such as hammerdrilling and drillingmetals.
- Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent restperiods.
- Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in movingparts. Residual Risks In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
- Impairment ofhearing.
- Risk of squeezing fingers when changingaccessories.
- Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when working inwood.
- Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
- Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.29 EnGLIsH Electrical Safety The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that of yourmains. Your DEWALT charger is double insulated in accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire isrequired. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the DEWALT
serviceorganisation. Mains Plug Replacement (U.K. & Ireland Only) If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
- Safely dispose of the oldplug.
- Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
- Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal. Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 3A. Using an Extension Cable An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1mm
; the maximum length is30m. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging)30 ENGLISH light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process hasstarted.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button
on the batterypack. NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse. Charger Operation Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the batterypack. Charge Indicators Charging Fully Charged Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
- 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 chargingprocedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger blinkpattern. NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre. 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 packlife. A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than 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 packwarms. 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 thecharger. Electronic Protection System XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deepdischarge. 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 fullycharged. Wall Mounting These chargers are designed to be wall mountable 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 25.4mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots. 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. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark orflame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service centre forrecycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys,etc.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knockedover. Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit. DEWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria. In most instances, shipping a DEWALT battery pack will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DEWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Whr. Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and documentationrequirements. The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the applicableregulations. Transporting the FLEXVOLT
Battery The DEWALT FLEXVOLT
battery has two modes: Use andTransport. Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
battery stands alone or is in
DEWALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT
battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery. Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for shipping. When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries. For example, the Transport Wh rating might indicate 3x36 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Wh each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108Wh (1battery implied). Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not inuse.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimalresults. NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged beforeuse. Labels on Charger and Battery Pack In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the following pictographs: Read instruction manual beforeuse. See Technical Data for chargingtime. Example of Use and Transport Label Marking32 ENGLISH Do not probe with conductiveobjects. Do not charge damaged batterypacks. Do not expose to water. Have defective cords replacedimmediately. Charge only between 4 ˚C and 40 ˚C. Only for indooruse. Discard the battery pack with due care for theenvironment. Charge DEWALT battery packs only with designated DEWALT chargers. Charging battery packs other than the designated DEWALT batteries with a DEWALT charger may make them burst or lead to other dangeroussituations. Do not incinerate the batterypack.

to match the speed and torque to the plannedoperation.
3. For Wood, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or
hole saws. For Metal, use high-speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilleddry.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect thebit.
5. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the batterypack.
CAUTION: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action and avoidinjury.
6. IF DRILL sTaLLs, it is usually because it is being overloaded
or improperly used. RELEasE TRIGGER IMMEDIaTELY,35 EnGLIsH remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO nOT CLICk TRIGGER On anD OFF In an aTTEMPT TO sTaRT a sTaLLED DRILL — THIs Can DaMaGE THEDRILL.
7. To minimise stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of thehole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a
drilled hole. This will help preventjamming.
9. With variable speed drills there is no need to centre punch
the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skippingout. Hammerdrill Operation (DCD796 only) (Fig. A, E)
2. Select the high speed
setting by sliding the gear shifter
back (away from the chuck). IMPORTanT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bitsonly.
3. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep it from
bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating and lower drillingrate.
4. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do
not exert side pressure on the bit when drillling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drillingspeed.
5. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to
drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool stil running to help clear debris from thehole. nOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates proper drillingrate. Screwdriver Operation (Fig. A, F)
1. Turn the torque adjustment collar
to the desiredposition.
2. Select the desired speed/torque range using the
to match the speed and torque of the plannedoperation. nOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to seat the fastener at the desired depth. The lower the number, the lower the torqueoutput.
3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you
4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas to
determine the proper position of the clutchcollar.
5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to
higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece orfastener. MAINTENANCE Your DEWALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regularcleaning.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and Congratulations! You have chosen a DEWALT tool. Years of experience, thorough product development and innovation make DEWALT one of the most reliable partners for professional power toolusers. Technical Data DCF887 Voltage V
(emission sound pressure level) dB(A) 96
(sound power level) dB(A) 107 K (uncertainty for the given sound level) dB(A) 3 Vibration emission value a
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.
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 workingperiod. 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 workingperiod. 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 workpatterns.
BRUSHLESS CORDLESS COMPACT IMPACT DRIVER
DCF88725 EnGLIsh instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents. 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 orfumes. c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
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 electricshock. 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 orgrounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock.
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 personalinjury. 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 personalinjuries. 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 invitesaccidents. 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 personalinjury. e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations. 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 movingparts. 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-relatedhazards.
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 wasdesigned. Batteries Chargers/Charge Times (Minutes) Cat # V

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired. 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 toolaccidentally. 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 untrainedusers. 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 powertools. f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. 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 hazardoussituation.
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 batterypack. b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire. 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 afire. 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 orburns.
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 ismaintained. Additional Specific Safety Rules for Impact Wrenches/Drivers
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electricshock. Residual Risks In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
- Impairment ofhearing.
- Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
- Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot duringoperation.
- Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse. Electrical Safety The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that of yourmains. Your DEWALT charger is double insulated in accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire isrequired. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the DEWALT
serviceorganisation. Mains Plug Replacement (U.K. & Ireland Only) If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
- Safely dispose of the oldplug.
- Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
- Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal. Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 3A. Using an Extension Cable An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1mm
; the maximum length is30m. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process hasstarted.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button
on the batterypack. NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse. Charger Operation Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the batterypack. Charge Indicators Charging Fully Charged Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
- 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 chargingprocedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger blinkpattern. NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre. 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 the28 ENGLISH pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery packlife. A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than 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 packwarms. 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 thecharger. Electronic Protection System XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deepdischarge. 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 fullycharged. Wall Mounting These chargers are designed to be wall mountable 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 25.4mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots. Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit. DEWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning29 ENGLISH The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria. In most instances, shipping a DEWALT battery pack will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DEWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Whr. Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and documentationrequirements. The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the applicableregulations. Transporting the FLEXVOLT
Battery The DEWALT FLEXVOLT
battery has two modes: Use andTransport. Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
battery stands alone or is in
DEWALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT
battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery. Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for shipping. When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries. For example, the Transport Wh rating might indicate 3x36 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Wh each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108Wh (1batteryimplied). Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not inuse. Example of Use and Transport Label Marking
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimalresults. NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged beforeuse. Labels on Charger and Battery Pack In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the following pictographs: Read instruction manual beforeuse. See Technical Data for chargingtime. Do not probe with conductiveobjects. Do not charge damaged batterypacks. Do not expose to water. Have defective cords replacedimmediately.

DCG4054 English 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 seriousinjury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents. 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 orfumes. c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
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 electricshock. 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 orgrounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock.
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 personalinjury. b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Instructions for All Operations a ) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury. b ) Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create ahazard and cause personalinjury. c ) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safeoperation. d ) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and flyapart. e ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can not be adequately guarded orcontrolled. f ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol. g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this testtime. h ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearingloss. i ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area ofoperation. j ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the6 English cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electricshock. k ) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of yourcontrol. l ) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into yourbody. m ) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electricalhazards. n ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials. o ) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution orshock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of thebinding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under theseconditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: a ) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions aretaken. b ) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over yourhand. c ) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point ofsnagging. d ) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control orkickback. e ) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss ofcontrol. Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations a ) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and areunsafe. b ) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequatelyprotected. c ) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could igniteclothing. d ) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them toshatter. e ) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheelflanges. f ) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and mayburst. Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations a ) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheelbreakage. b ) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operations, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly atyou. c ) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to7 English a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut- off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheelbinding. d ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in theworkpiece. e ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimise the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of thewheel. f ) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can causekickback. Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations a ) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc orkickback. Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/ orskin. b ) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work and centrifugalforces. Additional Safety Rules for Grinders a ) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result ininjury. b ) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at alltimes. Residual Risks In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
- Impairment ofhearing.
- Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
- Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot duringoperation.
- Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process hasstarted.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button
on the batterypack. NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse. Charger Operation Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the batterypack. Charge Indicators Charging Fully Charged Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
- 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 chargingprocedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger blinkpattern. NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre. 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 packlife. A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than 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 packwarms. 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 thecharger. Electronic Protection System XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deepdischarge. 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 fullycharged.9 English Wall Mounting These chargers are designed to be wall mountable 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 25.4mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots. Charger Cleaning Instructions

- Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery packs areburned.
- If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.
- Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek medicalattention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark orflame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service centre forrecycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys,etc.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knockedover. Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit. DEWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria. In most instances, shipping a DEWALT battery pack will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DEWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Whr. Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and documentationrequirements.10 ENGLISH The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the applicableregulations. Transporting the FLEXVOLT
Battery The DEWALT FLEXVOLT
battery has two modes: Use andTransport. Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
battery stands alone or is in
DEWALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT
battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery. Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap forshipping. When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hourbatteries. For example, the Transport Wh rating might indicate 3x36 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Wh each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108Wh (1battery implied). Example of Use and Transport Label Marking Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not inuse.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimalresults. NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged beforeuse. Labels on Charger and Battery Pack In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the following pictographs: Read instruction manual beforeuse. See Technical Data for chargingtime. Do not probe with conductiveobjects. Do not charge damaged batterypacks. Do not expose towater. Have defective cords replacedimmediately.

4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and the
worksurface. - If grinding, sanding with flap discs or wire brushing move the tool continuously in a forward and back motion to avoid creating gouges in the worksurface. - If sanding with a backing pad, move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and swirling of worksurface.15 ENGLISH NOTE: Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving will damage the workpiece.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off.
Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying itdown.
CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may beexperienced. Precautions To Take When Working on a Painted Workpiece
1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnantwomen.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint: Personal Safety
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area
where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being done until all clean up iscompleted.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing. NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper NIOSH-approvedmask.
3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the
work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle onthem. Environmental Safety
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize
the amount of dustgenerated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 milsthickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of
paint dust outside the workarea. Cleaning and Disposal
1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and
thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changedfrequently.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-upprocedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate workarea.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain. Edge Grinding and Cutting
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels for
surface grinding applications because these wheels are not designed for side pressures encountered with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury mayresult.
CAUTION: Wheels used for edge grinding and cutting may break or kick back if they bend or twist while the tool is being used. In all edge grinding/cutting operations, the open side of the guard must be positioned away from theoperator. NOTICE: Edge grinding/cutting with a Type27 wheel must be limited to shallow cutting and notching—less than 13mm in depth when the wheel is new. Reduce the depth of cutting/notching equal to the reduction of the wheel radius as it wears down. Refer to the Accessories Chart for more information. Edge grinding/cutting with a Type 41 wheel requires usage of a Type 1guard.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing
the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding/cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.
3. Position yourself so that the open-underside of the wheel is
facing away fromyou.
4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the
workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels are not designed to withstand side pressures caused bybending.
5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying itdown. Cutting Metal For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the guardtype1. When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc, tilt or oscillate themachine. Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying sidewardpressure. The machine must always work in an upgrinding motion. Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of thecut. When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at the smallest crosssection. Rough Grinding Never use a cutting disc forroughing. Always use the guard type27. The best roughing results are achieved when setting the machine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece16 ENGLISH will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves areformed. Cutting Stone The machine shall be used only for drycutting. For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc. Operate the machine only with additional dust protectionmask. Working Advice Exercise caution when cutting slots in structuralwalls. Slots in structural walls are subject to the country-specific regulations. These regulations are to be observed under all circumstances.Before beginning work, consult the responsible structural engineer, architect or the constructionsupervisor.

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.
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 workingperiod. 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 workingperiod. 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 workpatterns. 184 mm CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW DCS5706 English 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 seriousinjury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents. 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 orfumes. c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
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 electricshock. 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 orgrounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock.
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 personalinjury. 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 personalinjuries. 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 invitesaccidents. 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 personalinjury. e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations. 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 movingparts. 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-relatedhazards. Batteries Chargers/Charge Times (Minutes) Cat # V
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 wasdesigned. 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 berepaired. 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 toolaccidentally. 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 untrainedusers. 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 powertools. f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. 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 hazardoussituation.
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 batterypack. b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire. 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 afire. 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 orburns.
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 ismaintained.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by theblade. b ) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below theworkpiece. c ) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below theworkpiece. d ) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss ofcontrol. e ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electricshock. f ) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of bladebinding. g ) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss ofcontrol. h ) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety ofoperation.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS Kickback Causes and Related Warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward theoperator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions aretaken.8 ENGLISH b ) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of bladebinding. c ) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw isrestarted. d ) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of thepanel. e ) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding andkickback. f ) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding andkickback. g ) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can causekickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH A
PENDULUM BLADE GUARD
Lower Guard Function a ) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths ofcut. b ) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up ofdebris. c ) The lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operateautomatically. d ) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch isreleased. Additional Safety Instructions for Circular Saws
- Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearingloss.
- Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause breathing difficulty and possibleinjury.
- Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the Technical Data. Use only the blades specified in this manual, complying with EN 847-1.
- Never use abrasive cut-offwheels.
- Do not use water feedattachments.
- Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol. Residual Risks In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
- Impairment ofhearing.
- Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
- Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot duringoperation.
- Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse. Electrical Safety The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process hasstarted.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button
on the batterypack. nOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse. Charger Operation Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the batterypack. Charge Indicators Charging Fully Charged Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
- 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 chargingprocedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger blinkpattern. nOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre.10 ENGLISH 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 packlife. A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than 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 packwarms. 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 thecharger. Electronic Protection System XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deepdischarge. 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 fullycharged. Wall Mounting These chargers are designed to be wall mountable 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 25.4mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots. 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. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid.

When transporting batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit.11 ENGLISH DEWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria. In most instances, shipping a DEWALT battery pack will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DEWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Whr. Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and documentationrequirements. The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the applicableregulations. Transporting the FLEXVOLT
Battery The DEWALT FLEXVOLT
battery has two modes: Use andTransport. Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT
battery stands alone or is in
DEWALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT
battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery. Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for shipping. When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries. For example, the Transport Wh rating might indicate 3x36 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Wh each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108Wh (1battery implied). Example of Use and Transport Label Marking Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not inuse.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimalresults. NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged beforeuse. Labels on Charger and Battery Pack In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the following pictographs: Read instruction manual beforeuse. See Technical Data for chargingtime. Do not probe with conductiveobjects. Do not charge damaged batterypacks. Do not expose to water. Have defective cords replacedimmediately. Charge only between 4 ˚C and 40 ˚C. Only for indooruse. Discard the battery pack with due care for theenvironment. Charge DEWALT battery packs only with designated DEWALT chargers. Charging battery packs other than the designated DEWALT batteries with a DEWALT charger may make them burst or lead to other dangeroussituations. Do not incinerate the batterypack.

3. Release the lever and observe the guard
return to the fully closedposition. The tool should be serviced by a qualified service center if it:
- fails to return to the fully closed position,
- moves intermittently or slowly, or
- contacts the blade or any part of the tool in all angles and depth ofcut. Blades
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharpblade.
WARNING: Do not cut metal, plastic, concrete, masonry
or fiber cement materials with thissaw.14 ENGLISH 184 mm Diameter Application Teeth Rip 24 General Purpose 36 Finish 60 If you need assistance regarding blades, please contact your local DEWALT dealer. Kickback Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward theoperator. Kickback is more likely to occur when any of the following conditionsexists.
1. IMPROPER WORKPIECE SUPPORT
a. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off piece can cause pinching of the blade and lead tokickback. b. Cutting through material supported at the outer ends only can cause kickback. As the material weakens it sags, closing down the kerf and pinching the blade (Fig.L). c. Cutting off a cantilevered or overhanging piece of material from the bottom up in a vertical direction can cause kickback. The falling cut off piece can pinch theblade. d. Cutting off long narrow strips (as in ripping) can cause kickback. The cut off strip can sag or twist closing the kerf and pinching theblade. e. Snagging the lower guard on a surface below the material being cut momentarily reduces operator control. The saw can lift partially out of the cut increasing the chance of bladetwist.
2. IMPROPER DEPTH OF CUT SETTING ON SAW
a. To make the most efficient cut, the blade should protrude only far enough to expose one-half of a tooth as shown in FigureF. This allows the base plate to support the blade and minimizes twisting and pinching in the material. See the section titled Cutting DepthAdjustment.
3. BLADE TWISTING (MISALIGNMENT IN CUT)
a. Pushing harder to cut through a knot, a nail or a hard grain area can cause the blade totwist. b. Trying to turn the saw in the cut (trying to get back on the marked line) can cause bladetwist. c. Overreaching or operating the saw with poor body control (out of balance), can result in twisting theblade. d. Changing hand grip or body position while cutting can result in bladetwist. e. Backing up the saw to clear blade can lead totwist.
4. MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE EXTRA ATTENTION
a. Wet timber b. Green timber (material freshly cut or not kiln dried) c. Pressure treated timber (material treated with preservatives or anti-rot chemicals)
5. USE OF DULL OR DIRTY BLADES
a. Dull blades cause increased loading of the saw. To compensate, an operator will usually push harder which further loads the unit and promotes twisting of the blade in the kerf. Worn blades may also have insufficient body clearance which increases the chance of binding and increasedloading.
6. LIFTING THE SAW WHEN MAKING A BEVEL CUT
a. Bevel cuts require special operator attention to proper cutting techniques – especially guidance of the saw. Both blade angle to the base plate and greater blade surface in the material increase the chance for binding and misalignment (twist) tooccur.
a. The saw should be brought up to full operating speed before starting a cut or restarting a cut after the unit has been stopped with the blade in the kerf. Failure to do so can cause stalling andkickback. Any other conditions which could result in pinching, binding, twisting, or misalignment of the blade could cause kickback. Refer to the sections Additional Specific Safety Rules for Circular Saws and Blades for procedures and techniques that will minimize the occurrence ofkickback. Depth of Cut Adjustment (Fig. E–F)

saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of the wood to becut.
5. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is
shown in FigureF. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown in the figure, and observe how much tooth projects beyond thematerial. Adjusting Depth Adjustment Lever (Fig. E) It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever
. It may loosen in time and hit the base plate beforetighten ing. To Tighten the Lever:

2. Adjust the depth adjustment lever by rotating it in the
desired direction about 1/8 of arevolution.
ENGLISH Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. A, G) The bevel angle adjustment mechanism can be adjusted between 0° and 57°. To achieve better accuracy in cutting, use the fine adjustment markings located on the pivot bracket
2. Tilt the base plate to the desired angle by aligning the fine
with the desired angle mark on the pivot bracket
Bevel Detent (Fig. A, G) The DCS570 is equipped with a bevel detent feature. As you tilt the base plate
you will hear a click and feel the base plate stop at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of these is the desired angle, retighten the lever
by lowering it. If you desire another angle, continue tilting the base plate until the coarse bevel pointer
aligns with the desiredmark. Cut Length Indicator (Fig. A) The markings on the side of the base plate
show the length of the slot being cut into the material at the full depth of the cut. The markings are in increments of 5mm. Kerf Indicator (Fig. I) The front of the saw base plate has a kerf indicator
for vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The kerf indicator lines up with the left (outer) side of the saw blade, which makes the slot or “kerf” cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide along the penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or surplus material. Mounting and Adjusting the Parallel Fence (Fig. N) The parallel fence

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a suddenreaction. Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
, with the other hand on the auxiliary handle
LED Worklight (Fig. A) The LED worklight
is activated when the trigger switch is depressed. When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated for up to 20seconds. NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as aflashlight. Switching On and Off (Fig. B) For safety reasons the trigger switch
of your tool is equipped with a lock-off button
Press the lock-off button to unlock thetool. To run the tool, press the trigger switch
. As soon as the trigger switch is released, the lock-off switch is automatically activated to prevent unintended starting of themachine. NOTICE: Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when the saw blade touches the workpiece or othermaterials. Workpiece Support (Fig. J–M)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, support the work properly and hold the saw firmly to prevent loss ofcontrol.16 English Figures J and K show proper sawing position. Figures L and M show an unsafe condition. Hands should be kept away from cutting area, and power cord is positioned clear of the cutting area so that it will not get caught or hung up on thework. To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR the cut, (Fig. J and K). DON’T support board or panel away from the cut (Fig.L and M). When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and prevent it from becoming hung up on the workpiece. ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUST- MENTS! Place the work with its “good” side—the one on which appearance is most important—down. The saw cuts upward, so any splintering will be on the work face that is up when you sawit. Cutting (Fig. J)
WARNING: Never attempt to use this tool by resting it
upside down on a work surface and bringing the material to the tool. Always securely clamp the workpiece and bring the tool to the workpiece, securely holding the tool with two hands as shown in FigureJ. Place the wider portion of the saw base plate on that part of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, FigureJ illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board. Always clamp work. Don’t try to hold short pieces by hand! Remember to support cantilevered and overhanging material. Use caution when sawing material frombelow. Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts material to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material to be cut or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback. Push the saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to cut without laboring. Hardness and toughness can vary even in the same piece of material, and knotty or damp sections can put a heavy load on the saw. When this happens, push the saw more slowly, but hard enough to keep working without much decrease in speed. Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy, kickback, and over-heating of the motor. Should your cut begin to go off the line, don’t try to force it back on. Release the switch and allow blade to come to a complete stop. Then you can withdraw the saw, sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside the wrong one. In any event, withdraw the saw if you must shift the cut. Forcing a correction inside the cut can stall the saw and lead tokickback. IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND BACK THE SAW UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEFORERESTARTING. As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw, the spring-tensioned telescoping guard will automatically close under the blade. Remember the blade is exposed until this occurs. Never reach under the work for any reason. When you have to retract the telescoping guard manually (as is necessary for starting pocket cuts) always use the retractinglever. nOTE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that small cutoff pieces don’t hang up on inside of lowerguard. Pocket Cutting (Fig. O)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off the work surface which could causeinjury. A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other flatsurface.
1. Adjust the saw base plate so the blade cuts at desireddepth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the base plate on
3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade guard to an
upward position. Lower rear of base plate until blade teeth almost touch cuttingline.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep
it in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary handle
as shown in FigureO. Position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback if itoccurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its base
plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until cut iscompleted.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from thematerial.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat asabove.
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dustmask. A dust extraction port
is supplied with yourtool. The Dust Extraction Adaptor
allows you to connect the tool to an external dust extractor, either using the AirLock™ system (DWV9000-XJ), or a standard 35mm dust extractorfitment.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed
in compliance with the applicable directives regarding dust emission when sawing wood. Vacuum hoses of most common vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the dust extractionoutlet. MAINTENANCE Your DEWALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regularcleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury. The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.17 ENGLISH To Tighten the Lever:
2. Adjust the bevel adjustment lever by rotating it in the
desired direction about 1/8 of arevolution.
Blades A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive splintering and increase the possibility of kickback. Change blades when it is no longer easy to push the saw through the cut, when the motor is straining, or when excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is a good practice to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp blades are available for immediate use. Dull blades can be sharpened in mostareas. Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene, turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades can be used in applications where excessive build-up is encountered, such as pressure treated and greentimber. Optional Accessories

for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid. Lower Guard The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and letting it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely, it will need cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it functions correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft brush to remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the path of the guard and from around the guard spring. Should this not correct the problem, it will need to be serviced by an authorized servicecenter.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read the
instructionmanual. 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 seriousinjury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents. 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 orfumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
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 electricshock. 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 orgrounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electricshock.2 English 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 berepaired. 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 toolaccidentally. 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 untrainedusers. 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 powertools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. 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 hazardoussituation.
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 batterypack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire.
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 personalinjury. 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 personalinjuries. 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invitesaccidents. 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 personalinjury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in movingparts. 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-relatedhazards.
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 wasdesigned.3 English

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. 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
Charge Indicators This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the battery pack tested at an authorized service center.
These chargers have a hot/cold delay feature. When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging. The red light flashes long, then short while in the hot/cold delay mode. Once the battery has reached an optimum temperature, the charger will automatically resume the charging procedure. This feature ensures maximum battery life.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS
ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to thematerial.13 English NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-user application. For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please contact call 1-800-4-D
WALT (1-800-433-9258) or visit our website www.dewalt.com. Shocks – Active Vibration Control (Fig. 2) For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the main handle (E) and the other hand on the side handle (A). Apply just enough pressure so the SHOCKS (I) in the rear handle are halfway depressed. The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the internal active vibration control. Applying too much pressure will not make the tool drill faster and active vibration control will notengage. SDS Chuck (Fig. 9)
WARNING: Burn Hazard. ALWAYS wear gloves when changing
bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage barehands. To insert bit, insert shank of bit about 3/4"(19 mm) into chuck (N). Push and rotate bit until it locks in place. The bit will be securelyheld. To release bit, pull the sleeve (O) back and remove thebit. Proper Hand Position (Fig. 10)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS
NOTE: Operating temperature of this tool is 19° to 104°F (-7° to +40°C). Using the tool outside of this temperature range will decrease the life of thetool. FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 8) Some D
WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack. The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators: 75–100% charged 51–74% charged < 50% charged Pack needs to be charged To actuate the fuel gauge, press and
FIG. 8 hold the fuel gauge button (M). A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.14 English
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS
hold securely in anticipation of a suddenreaction. Proper hand position requires one hand on the side handle, with the other hand on the mainhandle. FIG. 10 Drilling (Fig. 4)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS operate
the tool with the side handle properly installed. Failure to do so may result in the side handle slipping during tool operation and subsequent loss of control. Hold tool with both hands to maximizecontrol. NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to thematerial.
1. Turn the mode selector (D) to the drill symbol (J).
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits,
power auger bits or hole saws. For METAL, use high-speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussiondrilling.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect thebit.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of
the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the batterypack.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist.
Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action and avoidinjury.
5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded
or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THEDRILL.
6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of thehole.
. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help preventjamming.
. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skippingout.
An SDS Plus to round shank adaptor chuck is required. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilleddry.15 English NOTE: Large (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm to 4.8 mm]) is drilledfirst.
An SDS Plus to round shank adaptor chuck is required. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger holes, use spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block ofwood.
When drilling in masonry, use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling and be certain that the bits are sharp. Use a constant and firm force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drillingrate. HAMMERDRILL OPERATION (FIG. 4)
1. Turn the mode selector (D) to the rotary hammer symbol (K).
2. When drilling, use just enough force on the hammer to keep it from
bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drillingrate.
3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not
exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drillingspeed.
4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off,
pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool still running to help clear debris from thehole.
5. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A smooth
even flow of dust indicates the proper drillingrate. Chipping and Chiselling (Fig. 4)
1. Set the mode selector switch (D) to the chipping symbol (L).
2. Insert the appropriate chisel and rotate it by hand to lock it into one
4. Switch on the tool and startworking.
5. Always switch off the tool when work is finished and
beforeunplugging. MAINTENANCE
