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 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.
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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
English

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 energizing 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 jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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.
English

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 Planers
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.
An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to
possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter may contact hidden wiring. Cutting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your
hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
• Make certain that the switch is in the off position before installing
the battery.
• Be sure to switch OFF immediately if tool is jammed in work.
• Be sure tool is set for correct depth before turning switch to ON.
• Be sure to maintain tool with care. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
• Be sure that the blades are mounted as described in the
instruction manual and check that all screws are firmly tightened
before installing the battery.
• Keep air vents unobstructed for proper motor cooling.
• DO NOT lay tool down on shoe when the blades are exposed.
This can chip the blades.
• Keep side discharge chute unobstructed at all times.
• Never reach under the tool for any reason unless it is turned
off and BATTERY IS REMOVED. BLADES ARE EXPOSED AND
EX TREMELY SHARP.
• Use this tool for working with wood and wood products only.
• Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other
foreign objects.
• Always operate planer with two hands. Never operate without
securely holding the front handle.
• Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle with great care.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
English
3
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
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.

with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center 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. Transporting batteries can possibly cause
fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact
with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools
and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on
luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
• 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 persist, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp oration) Seal on the
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries (or

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the charger, battery pack and product using the
battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the
charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
DeWALT rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may
overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and property damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into
the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,
grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup
of metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no
battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to
clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
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 the charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting
the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric
plug and cord.
• Make sure that the 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.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry
location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same
trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the battery
pack tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD DELAY
DCB101, DCB102, DCB103
These chargers have a hot/cold delay feature. When the charger
detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts
a delay, suspending charging. The red light flashes long, then short
while in the hot/cold delay mode.
Once the battery has reached an optimum temperature, the charger
will automatically resume the charging procedure. This feature
ensures maximum battery life.
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers have a hot/cold delay feature. When the charger
detects a battery that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a

yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this suspension.
Once the battery has reached an optimum temperature, the yellow
light will turn off and the charger will automatically resume the
charging procedure. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge
indicator showing Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function
but should not be expected to perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS
DCB101, DCB102, DCB103
These chargers will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying
problem pack or charger.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will
indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
Wall Mounting
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on
a table or work surface.

outlet. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws at least
1" (25.4 mm) long, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving
approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and
English
8
75 °F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate
a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. 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 pack warms.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which
turns power off when you turn out the lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F – 75 °F
(18° – 24°C);
d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and
charger to your local service center.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before
attempting to clean.
7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the
charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in
any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt
to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal
results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of

handle (J) and the other hand on the main handle (C) as shown in
Figure 2. Place the front shoe (G) on the surface to be planed, making
certain that the cutting blades are not touching the surface. Push
down firmly on the front handle of the planer so that the front shoe is
ABSOLUTELY FLAT on the work surface. Squeeze the trigger switch
and allow the motor to reach full speed before touching the planer
blades to the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward pressure
to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep the tool flat at
the beginning and the end of the work surface.
Planing Tip: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap
wood to the end of the piece you are planing. Don’t stop planing until
the cutting blades of the planer are past your workpiece and into the
scrap material.

Edge Chamfering (Fig. 15)
Your planer has a precision machined
FIG. 15
DD
chamfering groove (DD) in the front
shoe for planing along a corner of
the wood. The width of the groove
is 4.5 to 8 mm. It’s a good idea to
try a piece of scrap wood before
doing finish work.
Dust Extraction
(Fig.2, 16)
Your planer has a built-in dust
extraction port (L) which allows either
a dust bag or a shop vacuum to be
connected. The built-in outlet utilizes
the DeWALT AirLock connection
system making it compatible with the DeWALT dust extractor.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG
FIG. 16
L
While holding the planer, slide
the dust bag collar onto the dust
extraction port (L) as shown in
Figure16.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG
1. While holding the planer,
remove the dust bag by sliding
it off the dust extraction port (L).
2. Gently shake or tap the dust
bag to empty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back
onto the outlet.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This
will not affect planing performance but will reduce the planer’s dust
collection efficiency. To restore your planer’s dust collection efficiency,
depress the spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and
tap it on the side of the trash can or dust receptacle.
NOTE: A DeWALT AirLock Adapter (DWV9000) can be purchased
separately to connect a shop vacuum or DeWALT dust extractor to
your planer.
CAUTION: Never operate these tools unless the dust
collector is in place. Planing dust exhaust may create a breathing
hazard.
