IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL BATTERY CHARGERS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack, charger and

- Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - The manual contains important safety and operating instructions.

- 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 batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

- Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

- 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 electronation.

- When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an extension cord or power strip suitable for outdoor use. Use of a device suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

- When using a power strip, be sure that its current rating is not exceeded by the sum of the individual device's current ratings.

- An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, then is, 16 gauge box more capacity than 18 gauge. An undescent cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheaming. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating, if in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge plate, the heavier the cord.

Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign materials. Foreign materials of a conductor nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel waste, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no rotary pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Charging a Battery (Fig. A, C)

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.

1. Connect the charger and battery pack, making sure the battery is fully seated. The (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has started.

2. The Stage 1 Charging blink indicator represents the charge process that charges the majority of the battery's capacity. Stage 2 Charging blink indicator represents the remainder, or top off charge process, for the battery to reach full capacity.

3. The completion of charge for Stage 1 or Stage 2 will be indicated by the Stage's light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged when both Stage 1 and Stage 2 charging lights remain ON continuously, and it may be removed and used at this time or left in the charger.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require the battery pack release button to be pressed.

Leaving the Battery Pack In the Charger

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicators showing pack charged.

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 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. A charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger refusing to light could indicate a problem with the charger or a fault battery pack.

NOTE: If the charger refuses to light, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center.

The DCB118 and DC3112 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 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 on the charger until it is fully charged.

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. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F – 75 °F (18 °C – 24 °C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.

1. 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 battery pack.
2. 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 charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.
3. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

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

Wall Mounting

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, disconnect charger from the power source and remove the battery pack before mounting. An occidental start-up can cause injury.

Some chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If we'll mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow.
