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 ofexposure.



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 workingperiod.

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 workingperiod.

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 workpatterns.

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.

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)
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

5

ENGLISH

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electricshock.

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 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.

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 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.

Additional Specific Safety Instructions for
Material Dispensers

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed

metal parts of the tool "live" and shock theoperator.

• Keep hands out of the plunger and plunger rod area of the
caulk/adhesive dispenser. Fingers can be crushed between the
tube holder and theplunger.

• When operating the caulk/adhesive dispenser overhead,
do not have plunger rod in the path of your eyes or head.
Plunger rod may slip back in direction of user. Always wear eye
protection when using the caulk/adhesivedispenser.

• Always work in properly ventilated area and wear appropriate
respiratory protection if necessary. Fumes from some caulks
and adhesives can benoxious.

• Turn unit off and disconnect battery pack before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool may be hazardous when used on another tool.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury
topersons.

• Lock trigger in the OFF position when not in use to avoid
inadvertent release ofmaterial.

• Take care not to get caulk or adhesive on battery

contactpoints.

• Always read and follow all manufacturer’s instructions
regarding caulk or adhesive. Failure to do so may result in
personalinjury.

• Do not use for food preparation.

Residual Risks

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 personal injury due to flyingparticles.

• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.

• 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 yourmains.

Your

DeWALT

charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.



WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondary winding.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the

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

DeWALT

rechargeable batteries. Any other uses

may 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

Charging a Battery (Fig. B)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack.

2. Insert the battery pack

14

into the charger, making sure the
battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging)
light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging
process has started.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the
battery release button

15

on the battery pack.

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

Charger Operation

Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery
pack.

Charge Indicators

Charging

Fully Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*

* 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
of the charger.

Electronic Protection System

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

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

8

ENGLISH

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.

40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer).

• 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.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye
for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention
is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek medical
attention.



WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark or flame.



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.

Transportation



WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials. When
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

DeWALT

batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which
include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods
(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.

In most instances, shipping a

DeWALT

battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9
Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on
the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities,

DeWALT

does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs
alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with
batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100 Whr.

Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.

The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time
the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or
implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its
activities comply with the applicable regulations.

Transporting the FLEXVOLTTM Battery

The

DeWALT

FLEXVOLTTM battery has two modes: Use and

Transport.

9

ENGLISH

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLTTM battery stands alone or is in

a

DeWALT

18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When
the FLEXVOLTTM battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54V battery.

Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLTTM
battery, the battery is in transport mode. Keep the cap for
shipping.

When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.
