Operation - DeWalt DCT414S1 Instruction Manual

Charging Procedure (Fig. 3)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (C) into the charger, as shown in Figure 3, making sure the pack
is fully seated in charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the
charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs.
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack
into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is
OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned
to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same
trouble indication as the original, have the charger tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is
hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled.
After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode.
This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the
Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The
charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A
battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an
appropriate AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a weak battery pack. Such batteries are
still usable but should not be expected to perform as much work. The charger will indicate to
replace battery pack.
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 +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to 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 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 affect 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 charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may
result.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess
heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger. Under proper conditions, they can
be stored for 5 years or more.

Laser Information
The Infrared Thermometer (IR thermometer) is a class II laser product and complies with 21
CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to laser notice No. 50, dated June
24, 2007.
COMPONENTS (Fig. 1, 2)
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could
result.

SCREEN ICONS: (FIG. 2)
Hold – Will display after you release the trigger to let you know the last temperature read.
Scan – Will display while you hold the trigger down looking for differing temperatures.
Alarm setting - this icon will let you know what alarm you have chosen to display; color
indicator, beep or both.

Thermometer may continue to operate for a short time while the batteries continue to drain,
but the beams will quickly dim. After fresh batteries are installed, and the IR Thermometer
is turned on again, the IR Thermometer will return to its full brightness.
INTENDED USE
The IR Thermometer measures surface temperatures by measuring the amount of infrared
emitted off the object. This type of measurement is a non-contact measurement of the surfaces
temperature. This tool comes fully assembled. This tool has been designed with features that
allow for quick and easy set-up.
Belt Hook (Fig. 1) (Optional Accessory)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO NOT suspend tool overhead
or suspend objects from the belt hook. ONLY hang tool's belt hook from a work belt.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ensure the screw (P) holding
the belt hook is secure.
IMPORTANT: When attaching or removing the belt hook, use only the screw (P) that is
provided.
The belt hook (O) can be be attached to either side of the tool using only the screw (P)
provided, to accommodate left- or right- handed users. If the hook is not desired at all, it can
be removed from the tool.
To move belt hook, remove the screw (P) that holds the belt hook in place then reassemble
on the opposite side.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. 4)
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack (C) into the tool handle, align the battery with the rails inside the tool's
handle and slide it firmly into the handle until you hear the lock snap into place.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release button (B) and firmly pull the battery
pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger section of this
manual.

the beeper
4. Push the ALM button again to confirm selection.
5. The HAL (high alarm) will now flash. Use the up and down arrows to select the high
temperature limit. When the temperature is exceeded, the alarm will activate.
6. Push the ALM button. The LAL (low alarm) will now flash. Use the up and down arrows
to select the low temperature limit. When the temperature has descended, the alarm will
activate.
7. Press ALM button again for the main screen.
8. Temperature readings can now be taken.
DISTANCE TO SPOT (FIG. 5)
IR Thermometers have a "Cone Effect" where the further the thermometer is from the object,
the larger the area being measured. The IR Thermometer has a 12:1 distance to spot (12:1)
ratio, for every 12" (305 mm) away from the object it will measure 1" (25 mm). The object that
is being tested needs to be larger then the spot size to ensure accurate readings.
KEY NOTES IF HAVING TROUBLE TAKING MEASUREMENT
1. Make sure to apply masking tape to surfaces that are highly reflective.
2. Make sure to have the correct emissivity for the material you are testing.
3. Clean the material before testing if there is heavy dirt, grease, etc.
