The D
e
WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and
Shipping.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is
in a D
e
WALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max*
battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a
120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate
as a 60V Max* battery.
Shipping Mode: When
the cap is attached to the
FLEXVOLT™ battery, the
battery is in Shipping Mode.
Strings of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries
with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one
battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased
quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating
can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that
are imposed upon the higher Watt hourbatteries.
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see
example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the
appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine
the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the
shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at
the Watt hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping
without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one
battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.
Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking
For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,
meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh
rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some
DeWALT
battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or seriousinjury.
•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.
Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
120 V 25 (7.6) 50 (15.2) 100 (30.5) 150 (45.7)

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 lithium-
ion 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.
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.
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 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. 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.

Know Your Air Compressor
READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with
your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of
various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for
futurereference.
Description of Operation (Fig. A)
Become familiar with these controls before operating
theunit.
Auto On(I)/Off(O) Switch 1: Place this switch in the
"AutoOn" position to provide automatic power to the
pressure switch and "Off" to remove power at the end of
eachuse.
Pressure Switch (not shown): The pressure switch
automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure
drops below the factory set "cut-in" pressure. It stops the
motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set
"cut-out"pressure.
Safety Valve 4: If the pressure switch does not shut off the
air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety
valve will protect against high pressure by "popping out"
at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure
switch "cut-out" setting).
Tank Pressure Gauge 5: The tank pressure gauge
indicates the reserve air pressure in thetank.
One-Turn Regulator 6: Controls the air pressure available
at the quick-connect outlet. Turn regulator clockwise to
increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
Stop when indicator matches with desired outlet pressure.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains
an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this
cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal
for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. You know that the cooling system is working
when air is beingexpelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into
the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor
has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the
airoutlet.
Drain Valve 7: The drain valve is located at the base of
the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
eachuse.
Check Valve 8:When the air compressor is operating,
the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to
remain inside the airtank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has
a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any
reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The
motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To
restart:
1. Set the Auto On/Off switch to "Off".
2. Remove thebattery.
3. Allow the motor tocool.
4. Replace thebattery.

5. Set the Auto On/Off switch to "Auto On"position.
Quick-Connect Coupler 9:The quick connect body
accepts industrial quick connectplugs.
