DeWalt DCS365 Instructions Manual page 41

NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +4 °C or
above +40 °C. This is important and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack.
• 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
e
result in risk of fire, 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
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 DCB185) battery packs.
D WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as
e
possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery
pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (P) 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.
Charging Process
Refer to the table below for the charge status of the battery pack.

* 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.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until
the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life.
A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of 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 warms.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will
protect the battery 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 on the charger until it is
fully charged.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog
number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the
battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow
charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or
removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify battery
pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery
pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where
the temperature drops below 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) or exceeds 40 ˚C
(104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
For best life, store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not
insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric
shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs
should be returned to service centre for recycling.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a
stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode
in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery
packs are burned.
