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 DeWALT
chargers.
• 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
may reach or exceed 40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).
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.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store
or carry the battery pack so that
metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do
not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes,
drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc.
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
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.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
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
DCB118
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.
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. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
