Introduction (Fig. 1)
The DCB119 battery charger (Fig. 1) is designed to charge D
E
WALT 12V Max* and 20V Max*
lithium-ion battery packs. Refer to the chart at the end of this manual for information on the charge
times of various D
E
WALT battery packs.
These chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as possible to operate.
Simply place your battery pack into a receptacle of a plugged in charger and it will automatically
charge the pack. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery
packs.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the catalog number and voltage.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below and then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Never force the battery pack into the charger. Do not modify the battery pack in any
way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious
personal injury.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and
chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated D
E
WALT chargers.
•
DO NOT
splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may
reach or exceed 105°F (40°C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
For best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never
tape the trigger switch in the ON position.
WARNING:
Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery
pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
the 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 (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service center 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.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage)
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery
packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
•
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.
