NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life 
of lithium-ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully 
before first use.

*DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115: The 
red light will continue to blink, but a yellow 
indicator light will be illuminated during this 
operation. Once the battery 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 
by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or 
charger blink pattern.
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 authorised 
service centre.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot 
or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack 
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has 
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger 
then automatically switches to the pack charging 
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
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 warms.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS ONLY
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic 
Protection System that will protect the battery 
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
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 charger with damaged cord 
or plug—have them replaced immediately.
  •  Do not operate charger if it has received 
a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise 
damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised 
service centre.
  •  Do not disassemble charger; take it to an 
authorised service centre when service or 
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may 
result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or 
fire.
  •  In case of damaged power supply cord the 
supply cord must be replaced immediately by 
the manufacturer, its service agent or similar 
qualified person to prevent any hazard.
  •  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 two chargers 
together.
  •  The charger is designed to operate on 
standard 230V household electrical power. 
Do not attempt to use it on any other 
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular 
charger.
