The vibration and/or noise emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN60745 and may be used to compare one tool with
another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.
WARNING: The declared vibration and/or noise emission
level represents the main applications of the tool. However
if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and/or
noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total workingperiod.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or
noise 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 and/or noise such as: maintain
the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm
(relevant for vibration), organisation of workpatterns.

ENGLISH
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 and clothing 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.
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 remove 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 and accessories. 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.
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 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 a 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.

7
ENGLISH
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheelbreakage.
f ) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger
power tools. Wheels intended for a larger power tool
are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
mayburst.
g ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded orcontrolled.
h ) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges
with arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol.
i ) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool
or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing
the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the
power tool at maximum no load speed for one
minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart
during this testtime.
j ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtering particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearingloss.
k ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken wheel may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area ofoperation.
l ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, 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.
m ) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of
yourcontrol.
n ) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
yourbody.
o ) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
CUT‑OFF MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
a ) The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact withwheel.
b ) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut‑off
wheels for your power tool. Just because an accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safeoperation.
c ) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and flyapart.
d ) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut‑off wheel. Abrasive cut‑off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them toshatter.
e ) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
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 behaviour 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.

ENGLISH
Additional Safety Warnings for Abrasive
Cutting‑Off Operations:
a ) This power tool is intended to function as a cut‑off
tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
b ) Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing,
or polishing are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool. Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personalinjury.
c ) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safeoperation.
d ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded orcontrolled.
e ) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will
run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss
ofcontrol.
f ) Set the depth of cut for no more than necessary. The
less wheel exposed, the less chance of binding and
kickback. Before cutting, be sure adjust shoe assembly
istight.
g ) Do not force the tool. Forcing a cut off tool reduces
control and cuttingefficiency.
h ) Do not use this tool as a tablesaw.
i ) Firmly secure the workpiece.
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheelbinding.
h ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re‑enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is restarted in theworkpiece.
i ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line
of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of thewheel.
j ) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can causekickback.
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electricalhazards.
p ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials.
q ) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution orshock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING‑OFF OPERATIONS
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of
thebinding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel
to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under theseconditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
a ) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start‑up. The operator can control torque
reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions aretaken.
b ) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over yourhand.
c ) Do not position your body in line with the rotating
wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point ofsnagging.
d ) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control
orkickback.
e ) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss ofcontrol.
f ) Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure.
Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheelbreakage.
g ) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold

CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with theappliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, 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 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 charger to rain orsnow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk ofdamage to electric plug
andcord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage orstress.
Chargers
DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible tooperate.
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.

accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
DeWALT or an authorised serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K.& Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
j ) 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. Direct particles away
from face andbody.
k ) Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to
remove the vast majority of static and airborne
dust. Failure to remove static and airborne dust could
contaminate the working environment or pose an
increased health risk to the operator and those in
closeproximity.
l ) Use clamps or other practical ways 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 andinjury.
m ) Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
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.
n ) When using segmented diamond wheels, use only
diamond wheels with a peripheral gap not greater
than 10mm and negative rakeangle.

ENGLISH
*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.
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 designated DeWALT batteries with a DeWALT
charger may make them burst or lead to other
dangeroussituations.
z Do not incinerate the batterypack.
B USE (without transport cap). Example: Wh rating
indicates 108Wh (1battery with 108Wh).
A TRANSPORT (with built‑in transport cap). Example: Wh
rating indicates 3x 36Wh (3batteries of 36Wh).
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLTTM
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap
forshipping.
When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.
For example, the Transport
Wh rating might indicate
3x36Wh, meaning
3batteries of 36Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might
indicate 108Wh (1batteryimplied).
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
