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.

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.

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

2

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.

h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can

cause severe injury within a fraction of asecond.

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, if detachable, 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.

h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.

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.

e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is

damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk ofinjury.

f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire

or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may causeexplosion.

g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not

charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk offire.

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.

b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service

of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.

Additional Specific Safety Rules for
Jig Saws

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting

accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electricshock.

ENGLISH

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss ofcontrol.

• Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before

withdrawing the blade from the kerf (the slot
created by cutting). A moving blade may impact the

workpiece causing a broken blade, workpiece damage or
loss of control and possible personalinjury.

• Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease.
This will enable better control of thetool.

• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to
swerve or stall underpressure.

• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy
use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often
accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an
electric shockhazard.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may
cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use
gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods,
and limit daily time ofuse.

Additional Safety Information

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:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically­treated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.

• 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.

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132:

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 pack by
refusing tolight.

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 authorized servicecenter.

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

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 lithium­ion battery pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.

Wall Mounting

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

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 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (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.

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.

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 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack 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. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
otherliquid.

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 charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged beforeuse.

Cutting Action—Orbital or Straight (Fig. F)

This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, three
orbital and one straight. Orbital action has a more
aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in soft
materials like wood or plastic. Orbital action provides a faster
cut, but with a less smooth cut across the material. In orbital
action, the blade moves forward during the cutting stroke in
addition to the up and downmotion.

NOTE: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in
orbitalaction.

To adjust the cutting action, move the orbital action

6

lever

between the four cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Position 0 is straight cutting. Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital
cutting. The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever
is adjusted from one to three, with three being the most
aggressivecut.

Pocket Cutting (Fig. N)

A pocket cut is an easy method of making an inside cut.
The saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board
without first drilling a lead or pilot hole by following these
instructions. In pocket cutting, measure the surface to be
cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw forward

10

until the front end of the shoe sits firmly on the work surface
and the blade clears the work through its full stroke. Switch
the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed. Grip the
saw firmly and lower the back edge of tool slowly until the
blade reaches its complete depth. Hold the shoe flat against
the wood and begin cutting. Do not remove blade from cut
while it is still moving. Blade must come to a completestop.

Flush Cutting

A flush cut is necessary when finishing off cuts up to a wall
or an obstacle, such as back-splash. One of the easiest ways
to accomplish the flush cut is to use a flush cutting blade.
The flush cutting blade provides the reach necessary to cut
right up to the front edge of the jig saw shoe. Remove the
anti-splinter insert and return the shoe to the 0° positive
stop position before installing and using the flush cutting

9

blade. For the best cut quality the flush cutting blade should
be used in the 0 or 1 orbital position. The flush cutting blade
should not be used to start the cut because the flush cutting
blade prevents the shoe from being supported by the work
surface. Use wood cutting practices explainedbelow.

Wood Cutting

Support the workpiece adequately at all times. Use the
higher speed setting for cutting wood. Do not attempt to
turn the tool on when blade is against material to be cut.
This could stall the motor. Place the front of shoe on the
material to be cut and hold the jig saw shoe firmly against

the wood while cutting. Don’t force the tool; let the blade
cut at its own speed. When the cut is complete, turn the jig
saw off. Let blade come to a complete stop and then lay the
saw aside before loosening thework.

Metal Cutting

In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood
to the bottom of sheet metal; this will insure a clean cut
without the risk of vibration or tearing of metal. Always
remember to use a finer blade for ferrous metals (for those
that have a high iron content); and use a coarser blade for
non-ferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content).
Use a high speed setting for cutting soft metals (aluminum,
copper, brass, mild steel, galvanized pipe, conduit, sheet
metal, etc.). Use lower speed to cut plastics, tile, laminate,
hard metals, and castiron.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack


