If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an
authorized service center.
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
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.
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
(purchased separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35"
(7–9 mm), 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 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.
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
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 ° – 24 °C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local
service center.
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 battery pack.
5. 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.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat
or cold.
2. 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.

Intended Use
This miter saw is designed for professional sawing applications.
DO nOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
This miter saw is a professional power tool. DO nOT let children come into contact with the tool.
Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Familiarization (Fig. A, E)
Your miter saw is not fully assembled in the carton. Refer to the Assembly section for assembly
instructions. Open the box and lift the saw out by the convenient lifting handle
Figure E. Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench, strong table or D
miter saw stand. Examine Figure A to become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The
section on adjustments will refer to these terms and you must know what and where the
parts are.
