Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack, charger and product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

E

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than a DEWALT charger. DEWALT chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging DEWALT rechargeable battery packs. Charging other types of battery packs may cause them to overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury, property damage, fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Do not allow water or any liquid to enter charger.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on total length of all extension cords plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug. Have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
• Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities and ventilation slots.

- Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.

Charging a Battery (Fig. A–C)

1. If the DEWALT 12V/20V MAX* Li-ion battery pack is attached to the laser, remove it.
2. While pressing down on the release button on the battery pack (Figure ⑧①), pull the battery pack up to unlock it from the laser.
3. Pull the battery pack the rest of the way up and out of the laser (Figure B 2).
4. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
5. Insert and fully seat battery pack (Fig. A 1). The red charging light(s) will continuously blink while charging.
6. Charging is complete when the red charging light(s) remain(s) continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in charger or removed (Fig. A 3). Some chargers require the battery pack release button to be pressed for removal (Fig. A 2).
   WARNING: Only charge batteries in air temperature over 40 °F ( 4.5 °C ) and below 104 °F (+ 40 °C ).
7. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may be indicated by the charging light(s) staying OFF. Take charger and battery pack to an authorized service center if light(s) stay(s) OFF. NOTE: Refer to label near charging light(s) on charger for blink patterns. Older chargers may have additional information and/or may not have a yellow indicator light.
   NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require the battery pack release button to be pressed.
8. Slide the battery pack down in the laser until it snaps in place (Figure A 4).

Viewing the Battery Meter

When the laser is ON, the battery meter on the keypad (Figure ⑦) indicates how much power remains.

• The bottom LED will illuminate and flash when the battery level is low (10%). The laser may continue to operate for a short time while the battery power continues to drain, but the beam(s) will quickly dim.
• After the 12V/20V MAX Li-ion battery is charged, and the laser is turned ON again, the laser beam(s) will return to full brightness and the battery indicator level will indicate full capacity.
• If all 4 LEDs on the battery meter remain ON, this indicates that the laser is not fully powered OFF. When the laser is not in use, make sure the Power/Transport Lock switch is placed to the LEFT to the Locked/OFF position (Figure C ②).

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 may charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack.

The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light(s) continuing to blink but with the yellow light continuously ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger will resume the charging procedure.

DCB118 and DCB1112 Chargers

The DCB118 and DCB1112 chargers are equipped with an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled.

Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against

E

overloading, overheating or deep discharge. The tool will automatically turn off and the battery pack will need to be recharged.

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 – 75 °F (18 °C–24 °C). DO NOT charge when the battery pack is below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
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 uninsulated trailer.
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. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.

1. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.

When the laser is not in use, slide the Power/Transport Lock switch to the left in the OFF/Locked position. If the Power/Transport Lock switch is not placed in the lock position, all 4 LEDs will continuously flash on the Battery Meter.

Checking Laser Accuracy

The laser tools are sealed and calibrated at the factory. It is recommended that you perform an accuracy check prior to using the laser for the first time (in case the laser was exposed to extreme temperatures) and then regularly to ensure the accuracy of your work. When performing any of the accuracy checks listed in this manual, follow these guidelines:

• Use the largest area/distance possible, closest to the operating distance. The greater the area/distance, the easier to measure the accuracy of the laser.
• Place the laser on a smooth, flat, stable surface that is level in both directions.
  • Mark the center of the laser beam.

Using the Laser

Leveling the Laser

As long as the laser is properly calibrated, the laser is self-leveling. Each laser is calibrated at the factory to find level as long as it is positioned on a flat surface within average ±4^ of level. No manual adjustments are required.

If the laser has been tilted so much that it cannot self-level ( >4^ ), the laser beam will flash. There are two flashing sequences associated with the out of level condition.

• Between 4^ and 10^ the beams flash with a constant blink cycle.
• At angles greater than 10^ the beams flash with a three blink cycle.

When the beams flash THE LASER IS NOT LEVEL (OR PLUMB) AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try repositioning the laser on a more level surface.

Using the Pivot Bracket

The laser has a magnetic pivot bracket (Figure ①) permanently attached to the unit.

WARNING:

Position the laser and/or wall mount on a stable surface. Serious personal injury or

E

damage to the laser may result if the laser falls.

• The bracket has a fine adjustment knob (Figure ①) to help you line up the laser beams. Place the unit on a flat level surface and turn the knob to the right to move the beams to the right, or turn the knob to the left to move the beams to the left.
• The bracket has a keyhole slot (Figure ①) so it can be hung from a nail or screw on any kind of surface.
• The bracket has magnets (Figure ①) which allow the unit to be mounted to most upright surfaces made of steel or iron. Common examples of suitable surfaces include steel framing studs, steel door frames, and structural steel beams. Before attaching the pivot bracket against a stud (Figure ②), place the Metal Enhancement Plate (Figure ③) on the opposite side of the stud.

Maintenance

• To maintain the accuracy of your work, check the laser often to make sure it is properly calibrated. See Field Calibration Check.
• Calibration checks and other maintenance repairs may be performed by DEWALT service centers.
• When not in use, store the laser in the kit box provided. Do not store your laser at temperatures below -5^ (-20°C) or above 140^ (60°C).
• Do not store your laser in the kit box if the laser is wet. The laser should be dried first with a soft dry cloth prior to storage.

Cleaning

Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Although these parts are solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove moisture from the tool before storage.

Troubleshooting

The Laser Does Not Turn On

• Fully-charge the battery pack and then reinstall it in the laser unit.
• If the laser unit is heated above 120^ F ( 50^ C), the unit will not turn on. If the laser has been stored in extremely hot temperatures, allow it to cool. The laser level will not be damaged by pressing the on/off button before cooling to its proper operating temperature.

The Laser Beams Flash

The lasers are designed to self-level up to an average of 4^ in all directions. If the laser is tilted so much that the internal mechanism cannot level itself, the laser beams will flash indicating that the tilt range has been exceeded. THE FLASHING BEAMS CREATED BY THE LASER ARE NOT LEVEL OR PLUMB AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR DETERMINING OR MARKING LEVEL OR PLUMB. Try repositioning the laser on a more level surface.

The Laser Beams Will Not Stop Moving

The laser is a precision instrument. Therefore, if it is not positioned on a stable (and motionless) surface, the laser will continue to try to find level. If the beam will not stop moving, try placing the laser on a more stable surface. Also, try to make sure that the surface is relatively flat, so that the laser is stable.

The Battery Meter LEDs Flash

When all 4 LEDs continuously flash on the Battery Meter this indicates that the unit has not been fully powered off using the Power/Transport Lock switch (Figure C②). The Power/Transport Lock switch should always be placed in the LOCKED/OFF position when the laser is not in use.

Accessories

The laser is equipped with both 1/4 - 20 and 5/8 - 11 female threads on the bottom of the unit (Figure K). This thread is to accommodate current or future DeWALTaccessories. Only use DeWALT accessories specified for use with this product. Follow the directions included with the accessory.

WARNING:

Since accessories, other than those offered by DEWALT, have not been tested with this product, use of such accessories with this tool could be hazardous. To reduce the risk of injury, only DEWALT recommended accessories should be used with this product.

If you need any assistance in locating any accessory, please contact your nearest DEWALT service center or go to www.DEWALT.com.

Target Card

Some laser kits include a Laser Target Card (Figure M) to aid in locating and marking the laser beam. The target card enhances the visibility of the laser beam as the beam crosses over the card. The card is marked with standard and metric scales. The laser beam passes through the green plastic and reflects off of the reflective tape on the reverse side. The magnet at the top of the card is designed to hold the target card to ceiling track or steel studs to determine plumb and level positions. For best performance when using the Target Card, the DEWALT logo should be facing you.

Ceiling Mount

The laser ceiling mount (Figure ①) offers more mounting options for the laser. The ceiling mount has a clamp (Figure ②) at one end which can be fixed to a wall angle for acoustic ceiling installation (Figure ③). At each end of the ceiling mount is a screw hole (Figure ④ and ⑤), allowing the ceiling mount to be attached to any surface with a nail or screw.

Once the ceiling mount is secured, its steel plate provides a surface to which the magnetic pivot bracket (Figure ⑤⑥) can be attached. The position of the laser can then be fine-tuned by sliding the magnetic pivot bracket up or down on the wall mount.
