2) Electrical Safety
a ) 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.
b ) Do not expose pressure washers to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a pressure washer will
increase the risk of electricshock.
3) Personal Safety
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a pressure
washer. Do not use a pressure washer while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating pressure washers 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 the
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying pressure washers with your finger on the
switch or energizing pressure washers that have the
switch on invitesaccidents.
d ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
pressure washer in unexpectedsituations.
e ) 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.
f ) 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) Pressure Washer Use and Care
a ) Do not use the pressure washer if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any pressure washer that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must berepaired.
b ) Remove the battery pack from the pressure
washer before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing pressure
washers. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the pressure washeraccidentally.
c ) Store idle pressure washers out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the pressure washer or these instructions to
operate the pressure washer. Pressure washers are
dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.

ENGLISH
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicularcharger.
• 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 and
ventilation slots.
• Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in thecavity.
Charging a Battery (Fig. C, D)
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of Li-Ion
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting batterypack.
2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. The charging light(s)
will continuously blink indicating that the charging
process hasstarted.
For 2-Stage Chargers (DCB1102, DCB1104, DCB1106,
DCB1112, DCB094)
Stage 1Charging: Blink indicator represents the first
charge cycle that charges the majority of the battery's
capacity.
Stage2Charging: Blink indicator represents the
remainder, or top off charge process, for the battery to
reach fullcapacity.
3. Charging is complete when the charging light(s)
remain(s) continuously ON. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be removed and used at this time or
left in thecharger.
NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require
the battery pack release button to bepressed.
WARNING: Only charge batteries in air temperature
over 40° F (4.5° C) and below 104° F (40°C).
Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may be
indicated by the charging light(s) staying OFF. Take charger
and battery pack to an authorized service center if light(s)
stay(s)OFF.
NOTE: Refer to label near charging light(s) on charger
for blinkpatterns. Older chargers may have additional
information and/or may not have a yellow indicatorlight.
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 may charge at a slower rate than a warm
batterypack.
The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light(s)
continuing to blink but with the yellow light continuously
ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger
will resume the chargingprocedure.
chargers and battery packs are specifically designed to
worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging DeWALT rechargeable battery packs.
Charging other types of battery packs may cause them to
overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury, property
damage, fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.
• Do not allow water or any liquid to entercharger.
• 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 heavier the cord and
thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on total length of all extension cords
plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heaviergauge.

Some DeWALT 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

DCB118 and DCB1112 Chargers
The DCB118 and DCB1112 chargers are 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 and the battery pack will need to berecharged.
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 – 75° F (18°C– 24° C). DO NOT charge
when the battery pack is 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. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local servicecenter.
4. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the batterypack.
