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 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.

ENGLISH

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.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary hammers:

• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of

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 theaccessory.

• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when

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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the DeWALT serviceorganisation.

Chargers

DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as possible tooperate.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for compatible battery chargers (refer to TechnicalData).

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary

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 Safety Instructions for Rotary Hammers

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause

hearingloss.

• Use auxiliary handles 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 accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting

accessory 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 safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be required for mostapplications.

• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding it with both hands. It is recommended that the side handle be used at all times. Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle securely beforeuse.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent restperiods.

• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could causeinjury.

• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage barehands.

• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete stop. Moving bits could causeinjury.

• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and causeinjury.

• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened bygrinding.

• Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do not wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric cord wrapped around a spinning bit may cause personal injury and loss ofcontrol.

Transportation

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.

2. Insert the battery pack battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process hasstarted.

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 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.

The active vibration control neutralises rebound vibration from the hammer mechanism. Lowering hand and arm vibration, it allows more comfortable use for longer periods of time and extends the life of theunit.

The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the active vibraton control. Applying too much pressure will not make the tool drill or chip faster and active vibration control will notengage.
