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.
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.
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.

or exceed 40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
• 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 persists, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with
a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to
service centre 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.
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.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials. When
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in
checkedbaggage.
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.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time
the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or
implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its
activities comply with the applicable regulations.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not in use.
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.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the labels
on the charger and the battery pack may show the following
pictographs:
Read instruction manual before use.
See Technical Data for charging time.

• Check for damage to the tool, parts or accessories which may
have occurred duringtransport.
• Take the time to thoroughly read and understand this manual
prior tooperation.
Emissivity
Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of
materials. Most organic materials and painted or oxidized
surfaces have an emissivity of about 0.95, which is the default
setting. It is recommended to compensate for inaccurate
readings that may result from measuring materials with low
emissivity values such as shiny metal surfaces. Cover these
surfaces with masking tape or flat black paint (<148 ˚C/
300 ˚F) and use the default (0.95) setting. Allow time for the
tape or paint to reach the same temperature as the surface
beneath it and then measure the temperature of the tape or
paintedsurface.
If you cannot paint or use tape, then you can compensate
your measurements with the emissivity selector. Even with
the adjustable emissivity, it can be difficult to get a completely
accurate infrared measurement of a target with a shiny
or metallic surface. Experimentation may be required to
benchmark temperatures, and experience will help you choose
the best setting for specificmeasurements.
The thermometer has emissivity adjustable from 0.1 to 1.0 in
increments of 0.01. Refer to the Nominal Emissivity Table in
this manual. The reference to emissivity settings in the table are
suggestions for typical situations and your particular situation
maydiffer.
NOTE: Calibration of this product was performed at
0.95emissivity.

Distance to Spot (Fig.D)
IR Thermometers have a “Cone Effect” where the further the
thermometer is from the object, the larger the area being
measured. The IR Thermometer has a 12:1 distance to spot
(12:1) ratio: for every 300 mm away from the object it will
measure 25mm. The object that is being tested needs to be
larger than the spot size to ensure accuratereadings.
Key Notes If Having Trouble Taking
Measurement
1. Make sure to apply masking tape or flat black paint to
surfaces that are highly reflective (use the default 0.95
emissivity setting).
2. Make sure to have the correct emissivity for the material
you are testing. Refer to Emissivity and Nominal
EmissivityTable.
3. Clean the material before testing if there is heavy dirt,
grease,etc.

Operating Tips
• Use only the 12 V DeWALT lithium-ionbattery.
• Ensure batteries are in good working condition. If the low
battery indicator light is flashing, the batteries need to
berecharged.
• To extend battery life, release the IR Thermometer trigger
when not taking temperaturereadings.
MAINTENANCE
Your DeWALT power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regularcleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
The charger and Infrared Thermometer are not serviceable.
There are no serviceable parts inside the charger or
InfraredThermometer.
Troubleshooting
The IR Thermometer Does Not Turn On
• Make sure the 12 V battery ischarged.
• While the IR Thermometer may be stored in temperatures
up to 85 ˚C (185 ˚F), the IR Thermometer has a built-
in protection circuit that will not allow it to operate
at temperatures in excess of 40 ˚C (104 ˚F). If the
IR Thermometer has been stored in extremely hot
temperatures, allow it to cool. The IR thermometer will not
be damaged by pressing the ON/OFF button before cooling
to its proper operatingtemperature.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into aliquid.
