WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

REFERENCE 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.

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. 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, takingEnglish

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 Instructions for Cut-Off Machines a ) The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact withwheel. b ) Use only bonded reinforced wheels or diamond blades for your power tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safeoperation. c ) 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. 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 diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheelbreakage. f ) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and mayburst. g ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded orcontrolled. h ) The arbor size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol. i ) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this testtime. j ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop 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 filtering particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearingloss. k ) 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 wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area ofoperation. l ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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. m ) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of yourcontrol. n ) 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. o ) 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.English

p ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials. Kickback and Related Warnings Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the wheel’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 givenbelow. a ) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always hold front and rear handle for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions 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 line with the rotating wheel. 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 on the saw. Such blades cause frequent kickback and loss ofcontrol. f ) Do not use a segmented wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 3/8" (10mm). g ) Do not "jam" the 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. h ) 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 to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the 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. i ) 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. j ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize 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. k ) 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. Additional Safety Information

• Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not recommended and may be hazardous. Use of power boosters that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds greater than its rated speed constitutesmisuse.

• Do not use circular saw blades with this tool. Serious injury mayresult.

• Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks orflaws.

• Direct sparks away from operator, bystanders or flammable materials. Sparks may be produced while using a cut-off tool. Sparks may cause burns or startfires.

• Always use front handle. Make sure the front handle is securely tightened before use. The front handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at alltimes.

• Never cut into area that may contain electrical wiring or piping. Serious injury mayresult.

• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electric shockhazard.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by tool action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent restperiods.

• Never use the weight of the tool to stop bladerotation.

• Never leave your cut-off machine unattended if it is in operating mode. When your cut-off machine is not in use, remove the battery pack, make sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position and lock-off button isengaged.

• Always wear sturdy boots with non-slip soles and heavy-duty work gloves when operating your cut-off machine. Heavy-duty gloves improve your grip and protect yourhands.

• Never use your cut-off machine while standing on a ladder orscaffolding.

• Never cut above your shoulderheight.

• Do not cut wood or any material from which the cutting wheel is notrated.

• Use the wet cut method when using a diamond blade whenever possible. The water can act as a lubricant and reduce the risk reactiveforces.

• Use caution when reentering a cut. Do not push the cutting wheel into the cut at an angle as this can increase the risk onbinding.

• Always be alert of anything that could cause the workpiece to close at the cut and pinch the cutting wheel. Always support the workpiece in a manner that results in the cut remaining open. Never make a cut that could result in binding of the cuttingwheel.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

Charging Fully Charged Hot/Cold Pack Delay*

• DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132: The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the chargingprocedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying a 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 authorized servicecenter. 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 becooled. 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 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

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

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 (purchasedEnglish

separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in 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 cleaningsolutions. 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 and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the batterypack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the

touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance; b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights; c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C); d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local servicecenter.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to

produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the batterypack.

WARNING: Never use the cut-off machine with one

hand. Always grip the cut-off machine firmly with bothhands.

WARNING: Make sure the handles and grips of

your cut-off machine are secure and free of grease and/ormoisture. Proper hand position for both left- and right-handed users requires your right hand on the rear handle

and your left hand on the front handle

will illuminate as a warning when the tool is being pushed too hard. Continuing to use the tool after the LED is lit could cause the tool to shut down or reduce runtime. Reducing the Risk of Kickback (Fig. I)

WARNING: Reactive forces may occur at any time

the cutting wheel is inmotion.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of kickback, avoid

cutting with the upper quadrant of the cutting wheel whenever possible. Be extremely mindful of binding or pinching of the cutting wheel in this area as it can cause severe reactive forces resulting inkickback.

• Always be alert to any potential movement that could cause the material being cut to close and pinch the cuttingwheel.

• Proper support of the material will ensure the cut stays open during the cut. If you cannot properly support the material, do not use a cut-off machine to make yourcut. Fig. I

• Always support exposed pipe in the ground so that it is stable and is able to support weight. Use additionalENGLISH

support closer to the area to be cut to prevent the pipe from sagging and pinching the cuttingwheel.

• Material that is under stress could shift when it is cut. Uneven pipe beds could exertstress.

• Always make sure the section of material being removed is also supported. After the first cut is made you may have to move supports or add additional support to ensure both sides of the material are evenlysupported.

• Be aware of weakened work areas that could shift or slide causing your supports tomove. Making Cuts with a Cut-Off Machine

CAUTION: Before attempting to start, grasp tool firmly with both hands beforelifting.

WARNING: Cut-off saw not intended for surface

grinding or other applications where side loading of the blade isencountered.

WARNING: Edge cutting can be performed only

with wheels that are designed and specified for this purpose. Protect yourself during edge cutting by directing the open side of the guard away from you, theoperator.

WARNING: Wheels used for cutting may break or kick

back if they bend or twist while the tool is being used to do cut-offwork.

WARNING: Always be alert for gyroscopic forces that

can be generated by a rapidly spinning cutting wheel. Moving the cut-off machine sideways can create a gyroscopic force, causing the operator to experience an unexpected perpendicular change indirection. Wet Cut Method (Fig. A, J, K)

CAUTION: Close battery door and securely latch it closed before using anywater.

CAUTION: Never use the saw over head. When using water, limit cutting to the horizontal position to reduce the risk of water entering thetool.

WARNING: Wet cut method is to be used only with

WARNING: The recommended flow rate should be at

least 20 fl. oz. (0.6 liters) per minute. Cutting at a flow rate less than recommended or cutting for more than two consecutive hours requires use of NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection for the operator and anybystanders.

WARNING: Maximum supplied water pressure not to

WARNING: Makes sure that water does not flow onto

the abrasive wheel while the cut-off machine is not in use. The cutting wheel will absorb water which will affect thebalance. NOTICE: Before using the wet cut method, make sure water will not damage the material being cut or surroundingproperty. Attaching the Water Supply

1. Attach the water supply to the quick water

2. Attach the quick water connector to the water inlet

3. To regulate the water flow, slowly rotate the water

towards to open position until desired flow is reached as shown in Figure K. To stop the flow of water, rotate the water valve to the closedpostion.

4. Proceed to cut as described in Making a Cutbelow.

5. After finishing your cuts, run the machine for

3–5seconds with the water valve closed to remove any residual water from the cuttingwheel. OPEN CLOSED Fig. K

Removing the Water Supply

1. Turn off and depressurize watersystem.

2. Make sure the trigger switch

is in the OFF position and lock-off button

3. Close the water valve

4. Disconnect the quick water connector

from the water inlet

WARNING: Always make sure the guard is in place

and set for the type of cut you are making.

WARNING: Always use your cut-off machine so that

the operator and bystanders are not endangered by potential airborne particles of material being cut, sparks, or pieces of damaged cuttingwheels.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,

DO NOT change direction during the cut. A change in direction may produce a high torsional load on the cutting wheel and cause it to bind or break.

1. Mark a cutting line on the material to becut.

2. Grasp rear handle

3. Line up wheel with cutting line. Be sure nothing is near

or in line with thewheel.

4. Depress and hold trigger switch

, wait for the blade to reach full speed, then slowly feed wheel into work with firm pressure, working along the cutting line. Do not force the tool. Cut only as deep as needed to reduce the amount of dust produced. For maximum efficiency and wheel life, keep the wheel speedhigh. To maintain control of the cut-off machine, release pressure as you near the end of yourcut.

5. To stop tool, release trigger switch

6. Set the lock-off button

to the locked postion and make sure the cutting wheel has come to a complete stop before setting the cut-off machinedown. NOTE: Denser and thicker material should be cut in several passes. The maximum depth of cut of each pass should not exceed 1.0" (25.4mm). Cutting Slabs (Fig. L, M)

WARNING: Before making any cuts, make sure the

slab is properly secured on a non-slipsurface.

1. Cut a guiding groove along a marked cuttingline.

2. Cut deeper into the slab, never exceeding the maximum

depth of cut of 3.25" (83mm), and leaving a ridge of uncut material

as shown on Fig.L. Fig. L

3. Cut through the slab at each end to ensure the slab

NOTE: Curves must be made into the slab using several straight cuts as shown in Fig. M, always making sure that the cutting wheel does not becomewedged. Fig. M Cutting Pipe (Fig. N, O)

WARNING: Before making any cuts, make sure the

pipe is properly secured on a non-slipsurface.

WARNING: Pipe may break at any time during the

cut. Take precautions to maintain control of the tool and avoid fallingdebris. If the outer diameter of the pipe is smaller than the maximum cutting depth

• Make one cut straight down, starting at the top of the pipe through to the bottom of thepipe. If the outer diameter of the pipe is larger than the maximum cutting depth Several cuts are needed on larger pipes and it is important to make the cuts in the propersequence. If the pipe is in-ground and can not be rolled, make the following sequence of cuts

1. Cut a guiding groove along a marked cutting line

making sure to avoid any metal reinforcements ifpossible.

2. Start at the bottom of the pipe and use only the front

and upper part of the cutting wheel. This will reduce the risk of kickback orpinching.

3. Using only the front and upper part of the cutting

wheel, make a cut on the oppsite lower side of thepipe.

4. Make a lateral cut on the top half of thepipe.

5. Make a second lateral cut on the opposite side of the

top half. IMPORTANT: To keep the pipe from pinching the cutting wheel, make sure not to cut into the area of the finalcut.

6. Make sure all the top and bottom cuts are complete

when making the final topcut. IMPORTANT: Always make the final cut from the top of the pipe. If the pipe is properly supported, this will reduce the risk of pinching the cutting wheel. If any pinching does occur it will be at the bottom of the cutting wheel resulting in pull-away but notkickback.

Fig. N If the pipe is free and can be rolled, make the following sequence ofcuts

1. Secure the pipe on a non-slipsurface.

2. Using only the bottom part of the cutting wheel, make a

cut in the upper part of thepipe.

3. Roll the pipe and repeat steps 1 and 2 until the cut

Fig. O Cutting a Recess in Concrete Pipe (Fig. P)

WARNING: Before making any cuts, make sure the

pipe is properly secured on a non-slipsurface. Several cuts are needed to make a recess cut in concrete pipe and it is important to make the cuts in the propersequence.

1. First make two cuts along the length of the pipe.

Always make an axial cut to avoid pinching of the cuttingwheel.

2. Insert wedges into thecuts.

3. Make the third and fourth cuts to complete therecess.

4. If the severed part remains after all four cuts are made,

do not make any more cuts. Break the severed partout.
