GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, indications and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
Safety Instructions for Cordless Nailers
WARNING: All nailers produce SPARKS during
dication. NEVER use a nailer near flammable substances, gases, or vapors including lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, adhesives, mastics, glues, or any other material that is or the vapors, fumes, or by products of which are flammable, combustible, or explosive. Using the nailer in any such environment could cause an EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to users and bystanders.
- Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
- Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener causing an injury.
- Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from your target.
- Keep hands and body parts away from the discharge area of the tool. While in use NEVER grasp the tool by the magazine or canister, a mis-driven nail can exit the nose causing injury.
- Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
- Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage
the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
WARNING: If the tool has been dropped or you suspect the damage perform tool operation check as defined in the mode selection section of the manual. If it doesn't perform according to the manual, stop using the tool and have it serviced at an authorized DEWALT service centre.
• Always wear safety glasses.
• Always wear ear protection.
- Only use fasteners of the type specified in the manual.
- Do not use any stands for mounting the tool to a support.
- Do not disassemble or block any parts of the fastener driving tool such as the contact trip.
- Prior to each operation check that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning properly and that all nuts and bolts are tight.
- Do not use the DCN930
- when changing from one driving location to another involving the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders or ladder-like constructions, e.g., roof laths, etc.;
- when closing boxes or crates;

- In case of damaged power supply cord, the supply cord must be replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person to prevent any hazard.
- Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
- NEVER attempt to connect two chargers together.
- The charger is designed to operate on standard 230V household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Charging a Battery (Fig. B)
- Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
- Insert the battery pack 14 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 has started.
- 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 15 on the battery pack.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack.

text_image
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 charging procedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised service centre.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life. A cold battery pack 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 pack warms.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled. Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.
Electronic Protection System
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery pack in the charger until it is fully charged.
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 25.4 mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5 mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.
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 a liquid.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable is exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for a yellow 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 for recycling.
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 simple 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 knocked over.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can probably cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come into 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 short circuit. NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
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 and Criteria.
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 Wh rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DEWALT does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Wh rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Wh rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100 Wh.
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 documentation requirements.
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 applicable regulations.
Transporting the FLEXVOLT™ Battery
The DEWALT FLEXVOLT® battery has two modes: Use and Transport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a 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 54V battery.
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

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a device casing with handle and mounting bracket (no text or symbols)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
3 x 36 Wh, meaning
3 batteries of 36 Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might
indicate 108 Wh (1 battery implied).
Example of Use and Transport Label Marking

Use: 108 Wh

Transport: 3x36 Wh
Storage Recommendations
- The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not in use.
- For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.

NOTICE: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can seriously affect the life and performance of the tool.
Running in the Tool
Please note that this tool requires a run-in period before it operates with full power due to parts which need to mesh or wear in together. It may be that the tool does not drive long nails flush consistently during this period.
Actuating The Tool (Fig. G)
The tool can be operated using one of two modes:
Sequential Action Mode
The sequential action mode is used for intermittent nailing when very careful and accurate placement is desired. It also offers the maximum delivery of power for driving the longest nails.
- Using the mode selector switch 9, select the sequential action mode /or
- Release the trigger safety lock-off 2.
- Push the contact trip 3 against the work surface.
- Pull the trigger switch 1 to actuate the tool.
- Release the trigger and raise the nailer from the work surface.
- Repeat steps 3–5 to actuate the next nail.
Contact Trip Mode
DCN930 Only
Contact trip mode (also known as bump mode) is used for rapid nailing on flat, stationary surfaces and typically most effective for application driving shorter nails.
- Using the mode selector switch 9 to select the contact actuation mode 🎋(bump mode).
- Release the trigger safety lock-off 2.
-
To drive a single nail, operate the tool as described for sequential action:
a. Push the contact trip 3 against the work surface.
b. Pull the trigger switch 1 to actuate the tool. Each trigger pull with the contact trip pushed against the work surface will drive one nail. -
To drive several nails, depress and hold the trigger switch 1, and then push the contact trip 3 repeatedly against the work surface.
WARNING: Do not keep the trigger depressed when the tool is not in use. Keep the trigger safety lock-off 2 in the locked position to prevent accidental actuation when the tool is not in use.
- When changing between sequential and bump modes, it may be necessary to adjust the driving depth. Refer to Adjusting the Driving Depth for instructions.
RapidCycle Mode
DCN950 Only
The RapidCycle mode is ideal for when the user fires many nails in a sequence and needs to move more rapidly. The tool still operates in a full sequential mode, but the motor readies itself for the next nail immediately after firing to minimise time spent waiting for the motor to get up to speed.
- Use the mode selector switch 9 to select the RapidCycle mode ◀◀
- Release the trigger safety lock-off 2.
- To drive a single nail, operate the tool as described in the sequential action:
a. Push the contact trip 3 against the work piece.
b. Pull the trigger switch 1 to actuate the tool. (You will hear the motor spin up after the nail has been driven). - To drive several nails simply repeat the directions in step 3 above. If you do not fire a nail within two seconds of the previous then the motor will coast down to rest.
Using the Trigger Lock-Off (Fig. A)
Each DEWALT nailer is equipped with a trigger lock-off 2 which when pushed to the right as shown in Fig. A, prevents the tool from firing a nail by locking the trigger and bypassing power to the motor.
When the trigger lock-off is pressed to the left, the tool will be fully operational. The trigger lock-off should always be locked off whenever any adjustments are made or when tool is not in immediate use.
No-Mar Tip (Fig. A)
When using this tool on materials that you do not want to mark, such as wood cladding, use the plastic no-mar tip 13 over the contact trip 3.
NOTE: For maximum depth of drive, especially with long nails, the no-mar covered should be removed.
LED Indicator (Fig. G)
Your nailer is equipped with a LED indicator light 5 to alert you of a jam/stall. Also refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for further instruction.
| JAM/STALL CONDITIONRotate the stall release lever to release. Refer to Stall Release. |
Stall Release (Fig. A, G)
If the nailer is used in rigorous application where all available
energy in the motor is used to drive a fastener, the tool may stall. The driver blade did not complete the drive cycle and the jam/stall indicator 5 will flash. Rotate the stall release lever 6 on the tool and the mechanism will release. If the driver blade does not automatically return to the home position, proceed to Clearing a Jammed Nail. If the unit continues to stall please review the mode selection, material and fastener length to be sure that it is not too rigorous an application.
If continuous stalling occurs, review speed selection.
Depending upon the application, a different speed setting may be necessary.
Clearing a Jammed Nail (Fig. A, G, J)
If a nail becomes jammed in the nosepiece, the jam/stall indicator light 5 will flash.
