Do not place any object on top of the charger or 
place the charger on a soft surface that might block 
the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal 
heat. 

Place the charger in a position away from any heat 

source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top 
and the bottom of the housing.

• 

Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord 
or plug.

• 

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp 
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any 
way.

 Take it to an authorized service center.

• 

Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an 
authorized service center when service or repair 
is required.

 Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of 

electric shock, electrocution or fire.

• 

Disconnect the charger from the outlet before 
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of 
electric shock.

 Removing the battery pack will not reduce 

this risk.

• 

NEVER

 attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

• 

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.

 

WARNING: 

Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to 

get inside the 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.

 

CAUTION: 

Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, 

charge only

Other types of batteries may overheat and burst 
resulting in personal injury and property damage.

NOTICE:

 Under certain conditions, with the charger 

plugged into the power supply, the charger can 
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials 
of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to,

foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be 
kept away from the 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.

fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the 
charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, 
push the battery release button

 on the battery pack.

nOTE: 

To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-

ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before 
first use.

Charger Operation

Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the 
battery pack.

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

Charging

Fully Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*

* 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 compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery 
pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack 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 authorized service center.
