WALL MOUNTING
Models DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115
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. Mount
the charger securely using drywall screws at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, screwed into
wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed.
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 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. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of 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.
4. 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 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 tool, battery pack and charger to your local
service center.
5. 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.

BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
6. 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 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.
7. DO NOT freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. Don’t 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, direct light head away from eyes when
opening battery compartment and inserting or removing battery pack.
INSTALLING & REMOVING BATTERY PACK
