The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of

Denotes risk of fire.

electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes,

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

read the instruction manual.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger

on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce

dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

English

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified

by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with

English

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Chargers

The DCB105 charger accepts 10.8 V, 14.4 V and 18 V Li-Ion (DCB121, DCB140, DCB141, DCB180 and DCB181) battery packs.

This charger requires no adjustment and is designed to be as easy as possible to operate.

Charging Procedure (ﬁgure 2)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate 220~240 V outlet before inserting the battery pack.

2. Insert the battery pack (j) into the charger, making sure the pack is fully seated in 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 Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

Charging Process

Refer to the table below for the state of charge of the battery pack.

English

This charger 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.

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 Li-Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.

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.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs

When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the 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 and then follow the charging procedures outlined.

1. Turn the collar (c) to the hammerdrill symbol.

2. Select the high speed setting by sliding the selector back (away from the chuck).

IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry

bits only.

3. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating and lower drilling rate.

4. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drillling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.

5. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool stil running to help clear debris from the hole.

NOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates proper drilling rate.

Screwdriver Operation (ﬁgure 6)

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the dual range gear selector to match the speed and torque of the planned operation.

2. Turn the torque adjustment collar (c) to the desired position. Lower numbers indicate lower torque settings; higher numbers indicate higher torque settings.

3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit.

4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas to determine the proper position of the clutch collar.

5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener.
