Charging Procedure; Charging Process; Chargers - DeWalt DCN693 Manual

• 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.

The DCB105, DCB107, DCB112, DCB113 and
DCB115 chargers accept 10.8V, 14.4V and 18V
Li-Ion XR (DCB140, DCB141, DCB142, DCB143,
DCB144, DCB145, DCB180, DCB181, DCB182,
DCB183, DCB183B, DCB184, DCB184B and

2. Insert the battery pack (L) into the 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.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life
of lithium-ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115: The red
light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator
light will be illuminated during this operation.
Once the battery 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 or by displaying problem pack or
charger blink pattern.
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.
