Grounding Instructions
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The area light must be
connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
andordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the area light is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug connected to the area light—if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For grounded, cord-connected area
lights rated less than 15A and intended
for use on a nominal 120V supply circuit
The area light is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and
should be connected to a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor, which
looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch b, may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
sketch b if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending
from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by
the metal screw.

Use of Extension Cords with Area light
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least
12amps and has a third-wire ground.
When a long extension cord is used to connect a area light
or tool, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the
greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being
supplied to the area light or tool and increases the amount
of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier
cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be
sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to
operate your tool and/or area light.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Keep extension cord
connection dry and off the ground.
WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition.
Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they
can cause electrical shock.
WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage
can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long
extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
For more information about extension cord size
requirements, refer to the Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
chart found under Important Safety Instructions for the
Area Light/Charger.

• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104°F (40°C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer). For best life, store battery packs in
a cool, drylocation.
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
persist, seek medicalattention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be
flammable if exposed to spark orflame.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the

are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.
Shipping the
DeWALT
FLEXVOLT™ Battery
The D
e
WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and
Shipping.

ENGLISH
5
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.
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”.
USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh
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
charge remaining in the battery pack according to the
followingindicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button. A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the
level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the
fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
berecharged.

rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk
of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the area light/charger to rain
orsnow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the area light/charger. This will reduce
the risk of damage to the electric plug andcord.
• Make sure that the extension cord is located so that
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage orstress.
• When operating the area light/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

ENGLISH
6
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, and the voltage drop caused by the use of
extension cords, given different electtical loads. 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 area light/charger will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The area light/charger will indicate faulty battery pack by
refusing to light or by displaying a problem pack or charger
blink pattern.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a area light/
charger.
If the area light/charger indicates a problem, take the area
light/charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorized
service center.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132
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.

ENGLISH

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..

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 area light/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 area light/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 area light/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 area light/
charger and battery pack 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 area light/charger cavities.
Unplug the area light/charger before attempting
toclean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse the area light/charger in water
or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid
to get inside the area light/charger. Electric shock
mayresult.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
