parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

ismaintained.

b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service

of battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.

g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these

are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust‑relatedhazards.

h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of

tools allow you to become complacent and ignore

tool safety principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of asecond.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

wasdesigned.

b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury andfire.

c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,

ENGLISH

Kickback and Related Warnings:

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged

rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.

Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating

accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool

to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s

rotation at the point of thebinding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by

the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the

pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing

the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either

jump toward or away from the operator, depending on

direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.

Abrasive wheels may also break under theseconditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as givenbelow.

a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the

power tool and position your body and arms

to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always

use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum

control over kickback or torque reaction during

start‑up. The operator can control torque reactions or

kickback forces, if proper precautions aretaken.

b ) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over yourhand.

c ) Do not position your body in the area where

power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback

will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s

movement at the point ofsnagging.

n ) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The

motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and

excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause

electricalhazards.

o ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials.

p ) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution orshock.

q ) Do not use Type 11(flaring cup) wheels on this

tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result

ininjury.

r ) When starting the tool with a new or replacement

wheel, or a new or replacement wire brush

installed, hold the tool in a well protected area

and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has

an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in

less than one minute. If the wire brush has loose

wires, they will be detected. Never start the tool

with a person in line with the wheel. This includes

theoperator.

s ) Use of accessories not specified in this manual

is not recommended and may be hazardous.

Use of power boosters that would cause the tool

to be driven at speeds greater than its rated speed

constitutesmisuse.

Just because the accessory can be attached to your

power tool, it does not assure safeoperation.

e ) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least

equal to the maximum speed marked on the

power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated

speed can break and flyapart.

f ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating of

your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot

be adequately guarded orcontrolled.

g ) The dimensions of the accessory mounting must

fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware of

the power tool. Accessories that do not match the

mounting hardware of the power tool will run out

of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss

ofcontrol.

h ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use

inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for

chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or

excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.

If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect

for damage or install an undamaged accessory.

After inspecting and installing an accessory,

position yourself and bystanders away from the

plane of the rotating accessory and run the power

tool at maximum no‑load speed for one minute.

Damaged accessories will normally break apart during

this testtime.

i ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending

on application, use face shield, safety goggles

or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust

mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop

apron capable of stopping small abrasive or

workpiece fragments. The eye protection must

be capable of stopping flying debris generated by

various applications. The dust mask or respirator must

be capable of filtrating particles generated by the

particular application. Prolonged exposure to high

intensity noise may cause hearingloss.

j ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Anyone entering the work area must wear

personal protective equipment. Fragments of

workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and

cause injury beyond immediate area ofoperation.

k ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact hidden

wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electricshock.

l ) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory

has come to a complete stop. The spinning

accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool

out of yourcontrol.

m ) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your

side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory

could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into

yourbody.

ENGLISH

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing

Operations:

a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the

brush even during ordinary operation. Do not

overstress the wires by applying excessive load to

the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light

clothing and/orskin.

b ) If the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing,

do not allow any interference of the wire wheel

or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush

may expand in diameter due to work load and

centrifugalforces.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding

Operations:

a ) Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow

manufacturers recommendations, when selecting

sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending

too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration

hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc

orkickback.

b ) Do not position your body in line with and behind

the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of

operation, is moving away from your body, the possible

kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power

tool directly atyou.

c ) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting

a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool

and hold it motionless until the wheel comes to

a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the

cut‑off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in

motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate

and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of

wheelbinding.

d ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and

carefully re‑enter the cut. The wheel may bind,

walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in

theworkpiece.

e ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to

minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.

Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.

Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the

line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both

sides of thewheel.

f ) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut”

into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical

wiring or objects that can causekickback.

g ) Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing

the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to

twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the

possibility of kickback or wheel breakage, which can

lead to seriousinjury.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for

Cutting‑Off Operations:

a ) Do not “jam” the cut‑off wheel or apply excessive

pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive

depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the

loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of

the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or

wheelbreakage.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and

Cutting‑Off Operations:

a ) Use only wheel types that are specified for your

power tool and the specific guard designed for

the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool

was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and

areunsafe.

b ) The grinding surface of center depressed

wheels must be mounted below the plane of

the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that

projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be

adequatelyprotected.

c ) The guard must be securely attached to the power

tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the

least amount of wheel is exposed towards the

operator. The guard helps to protect the operator

from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with

wheel and sparks that could igniteclothing.

d ) Wheels must be used only for specified

applications. For example: do not grind with the

side of cut‑off wheel. Abrasive cut‑off wheels are

intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to

these wheels may cause them toshatter.

e ) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are

of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing

the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut‑off

wheels may be different from grinding wheelflanges.

f ) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power

tools. A wheel intended for larger power tool is not

suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and

mayburst.

g ) When using dual purpose wheels always use

the correct guard for the application being

performed. Failure to use the correct guard may not

provide the desired level of guarding, which could lead

to seriousinjury.

d ) Use special care when working corners, sharp

edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the

accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a

tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss

of control orkickback.

e ) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade,

segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap

greater than 10mm or toothed saw blade. Such

blades create frequent kickback and loss ofcontrol.

should be returned to the service center forrecycling.

Storage Recommendations

The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away

from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully

charged battery pack out of thecharger.

Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions

Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the

battery pack using a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not

use water or any cleaningsolutions.

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)

Some battery packs include a fuel gauge. When the fuel

gauge button is pressed and held, the LED lights will

indicate the approximate level of charge remaining. This

does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to

variation based on product components, temperature, and

end‑userapplication.

Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or

transport 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, coins, hand tools, etc.

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. NOTE: Li‑ion battery packs should

not be put in checked baggage on airplanes and must

be properly protected from short circuits if they are in

carry‑onbaggage.

ENGLISH

WARNING:

Only charge batteries in air temperature over

40° F (4.5° C) and below 104° F (+40°C).

4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may

be indicated by the charging light(s) staying OFF. Take

charger and battery pack to an authorized service center

if light(s) stay(s)OFF.

NOTE: Refer to label near charging light(s) on charger

for blinkpatterns. Older chargers may have additional

information and/or may not have a yellow indicatorlight.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers

require the battery pack release button to bepressed.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

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 may charge at a slower rate than a warm

batterypack.

The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the red light(s)

continuing to blink but with the yellow light continuously

ON. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate

temperature, the yellow light will turn OFF and the charger

will resume the chargingprocedure.

DCB118 and DCB1112 Chargers

The DCB118 and DCB1112 chargers are 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 and the battery pack will need to berecharged.

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 – 75°F (18° C– 24°C). DO NOT charge

when the battery pack is 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. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

• When operating a 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 heavier the cord and

thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will

cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating. The following table shows the correct size

to use depending on total length of all extension cords

plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in

doubt, use the next heaviergauge.

Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets

• 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. Have them replacedimmediately.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 charger cavities and

ventilation slots.

• Always unplug the charger from the power supply

when there is no battery pack in thecavity.

Charging a Battery (Fig. C)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.

2. Insert and fully seat battery pack12. The red charging

light(s) will continuously blink whilecharging.

3. Charging is complete when the red charging light(s)

remain(s) continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in

charger or removed. Some chargers require the battery

pack release button to be pressed forremoval.

Precautions To Take When Working on a

Painted Workpiece

1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT

RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling

the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead

poisoning is to children and pregnantwomen.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint

contains lead without a chemical analysis, we

recommend the following precautions when sanding

any paint:

Personal Safety

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work

area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being

done until all clean up iscompleted.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons

entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily

or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing.

NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with

lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary

painting masks do not offer this protection. See your

local hardware dealer for the proper approvedmask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in

the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint

particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE

eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or

smoking should not be left in the work area where dust

would settle onthem.

Environmental Safety

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to

minimize the amount of dustgenerated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed

with plastic sheeting of 4milsthickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking

of paint dust outside the workarea.

Cleaning and Disposal

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed

and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of

the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be

changedfrequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed

of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.

Surface Grinding, Sanding and Wire

Brushing (Fig. N)

CAUTION: Always use the correct guard per the

instructions in thismanual.

To perform work on the surface of a workpiece:

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the

tool to the worksurface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing

the tool to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is

greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.

3. Maintain an appropriate angle between the tool

and work surface. Refer to the chart according to

particularfunction.

greatest when the tool operates at highspeed.

3. Position yourself so that the open‑underside of the wheel

is facing away fromyou.

4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in the

workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut. Changing

the angle will cause the wheel to bend and may cause

wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels are not designed

to withstand side pressures caused bybending.

5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning

the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying

itdown.

They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and

disposed of through regular trash pick‑upprocedures.

During clean up, children and pregnant women should

be kept away from the immediate workarea.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children

should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain.

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with

clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk

of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye

protection when performing thisprocedure.

FRANÇAIS

1) Sécurité du lieu de travail

a ) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée.

Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices

auxaccidents.

b ) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques

dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de

liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.

Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui

pourraient enflammer la poussière ou lesvapeurs.

c ) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité

pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une

distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise

àl’utilisateur.

2) Sécurité en matière d’électricité

a ) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent

correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la

fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche

d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la

terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par

l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à

laprise.

b ) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces

mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs,

des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de

choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à

laterre.

c ) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou

à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil

électrique augmente le risque de chocélectrique.

d ) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne

jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer

ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le

cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords

tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons

endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques

de chocélectrique.

e ) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur,

se servir d’une rallonge convenant à cette

application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour

l’extérieur réduira les risques de chocélectrique.

f ) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un

outil électrique dans un endroit humide,

brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit

d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à

la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur

réduit les risques de chocélectrique.

3) Sécurité personnelle

a ) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire

preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique

est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en

cas de fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues,

d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment

d’inattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut

entraîner des blessures corporellesgraves.

b ) Utiliser des équipements de protection

individuelle. Toujours porter une protection

oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection

comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures
