The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It
may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.
WARNING: The declared vibration emission level
represents the main applications of the tool. However if
the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total workingperiod.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should
also take into account the times when the tool is switched
off or when it is running but not actually doing the job.
This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the
total workingperiod.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool
and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation
of workpatterns.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
powertool.
1) Work area safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas inviteaccidents.
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 orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
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
electricshock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electricshock.
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
electricshock.
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 electricshock.
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
electricshock.
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 personalinjury.
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 personalinjuries.
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
ENGLISH
switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invitesaccidents.
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
personalinjury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpectedsituations.
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 movingparts.
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-relatedhazards.
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
wasdesigned.
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 berepaired.
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 toolaccidentally.
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 untrainedusers.
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 powertools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
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 hazardoussituation.
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 batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury andfire.
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 afire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.
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 ismaintained.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Drills/
Drivers/Hammerdrills
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool or the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or
fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
• Wear ear protectors when hammering for extended periods of time. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
can cause hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss or serious ear
drum damage may result from high sound levels generated by
hammerdrilling.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
and drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can
cause permanent eye damage.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear
gloves when touching them.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of percussion drills:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of
the tool.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when changing accessories.
6
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in wood.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the
serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3A.

* 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 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 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

Drill Operation (Fig. D)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood “backup” block to prevent damage to the material.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter
to match the speed and torque to the planned operation.
Set the torque adjustment collar
2. For Wood, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or
hole saws. For Metal, use high-speed steel twist drill bits
or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be
drilleddry.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep the drill bit biting, but do not push
hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill.
5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being
overloaded. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT
CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START
A STALLED DRILL – THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a
drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.

Screwdriver Operation (Fig. C)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the threespeed gear shifter

gear shifter to speed 2 or 3. This ensures effective control
over the fastener allowing the screw to be seated correctly
and set to specification. Speed 1 will provide the same
clutching torque as speeds 2 and 3. However, for optimum
performance of the electronic clutch, speeds 2 and 3
arepreferred.
NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting (1) first and increase
the number through to the highest setting (11) to seat the
fastener at the desired depth. The lower the number, the
lower the torque output.
2. Reset the torque adjustment collar
number setting for the torque desired. Make a few practice
runs in scrap or unseen areas to determine the proper
position of the torque adjustment collar.
NOTE: The torque adjustment collar may be set to any number
at any time.

2. Select the high speed 3 setting by sliding the gear shifter
back (away form the chuck).
3. When drilling, use just enough force on the hammer to
keep it from bouncing excessively. Prolonged and too much
force on the hammer will cause slower drilling speeds and
potential overheating.
4. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do
not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling 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 the tool
still running to help clear debris from the hole.
6. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A
smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
