Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety
and operating instructions for compatible battery chargers (refer to
Technical Data).
•
Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a
residual current rating of 30mA or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
e
causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the
power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, 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
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers
•
other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging
•
D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire,
e
electric shock or electrocution.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will
•
reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
Make sure that 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.
Do not place any object on top of 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 charger with damaged cord or plug—have them
•
replaced immediately.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
•
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised
service centre.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised service centre
•
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a
risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
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)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack
4
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.
3. 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
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.
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 on 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.
