a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or 
any cleaning solutions.
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.  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.
4.  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.
5.  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.
6.  Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any 
other liquid.
Storage Recommendations
1.  The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away 
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2.  For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully 
charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the 
charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely 
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be 
recharged before use.

Introduction
The DCE200 Cordless Press Tool uses an electric motor to 
power a hydraulic piston pump. The pumping action forces 
a ram forward that forces closed a jaw set or attachment. 
The attachment mechanically presses fittings onto various 
types of tubing to create a tight and permanent seal.
Trigger Switch (Fig. A)

WARNING: The shoulder strap and ring are intended 
for transporting the tool. They are not intended for 
tethering or securing the tool to a person or object 
during use.
 
WARNING: Do not transport the tool with the
