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.

Not Recommended
•
Do not place any object on top of the area light/
charger nor place the area light/charger on a soft
surface that might block the ventilation slots and
result in excessive internal heat.
Place the
area light/
charger
in a position away from any heat source. The
area light is ventilated through slots in the top of the
LED lens.
•
Do not operate the area light/charger with a
damaged cord or plug.
•
Do not operate the area light/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 area light/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 area light/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 more than 4 area lights together.
•
The area light/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 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.
CAUTION:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only

rechargeable battery packs.
Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property damage.
NOTICE:
Under certain conditions, with the area
light/charger plugged into its power supply, the area
light/charger can be shorted by foreign material.
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 area light/
charger cavities. Unplug the area light/charger before
attempting to clean.
Charging Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the
battery pack.

* 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.
