The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a
standardised test given in EN 60745 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
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
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.

ENGLISH

5

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 Rules for
Impact Wrenches

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.

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 flying particles.

– Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot

during operation.

– Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

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 (f) 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, fully charge the pack before first use.

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.

generated by the tool. Excessive torque
may cause breakage and possible
personal injury.

1. Place the socket on the fastener head. Keep
the tool pointed straight at the fastener.

2. Press switch to start operation. Release the
switch to stop operation. Always check torque
with a torque wrench, as the fastening torque is
affected by many factors including the following:

• Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly

discharged battery, will reduce fastening
torque.

• Socket size: Failure to use the correct

socket size will cause a reduction in fastening
torque.

• Bolt Size: Larger bolt diameters generally

require higher fastening torque. Fastening
torque will also vary according to length,
grade, and torque coefficient.

• Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust

and other debris to allow proper fastening
torque.

• Material: The type of material and surface

finish of the material will affect fastening
torque.

• Fastening Time: Longer fasten ing time

results in increased fastening torque. Using
a longer fastening time than recom mended
could cause the fasteners to be overstressed,
stripped or damaged.
