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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

read the instruction manual.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings

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

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

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

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

4

English

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.

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.

5

English

DeWALT

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 Drivers

• 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 to flying particles.

– Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot

during operation.

– Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

Markings on Tool

The following pictograms are shown on the tool:

chargers require no adjustment and are

designed to be as easy as possible to operate.

Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)

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

2. Insert the battery pack (F) into 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 lithium-ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully
before first use.

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115: The red

light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator
light will be illuminated during this operation.
Once the battery 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 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.

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.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY

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 lithium-ion battery on the charger until it is fully
charged.

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs

When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include 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. Then follow
