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 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on
standard 230 V household electrical power.
Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular
charger.

Chargers
The DCB105 and DCB107 chargers accept
10.8V, 14.4 V and 18 V Li-Ion (DCB121, DCB123,
DCB127, DCB140, DCB141, DCB142, DCB143,
DCB144, DCB145, DCB180, DCB181, DCB182,
DCB183, DCB184 and DCB185) battery packs.
This charger requires no adjustment and is designed
to be as easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (fi g. 2)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate 230 V
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (j) into the charger,
making sure the pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.
Charging Process
Refer the tables below for the state of charge of the
battery pack.

NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with
the charger plugged in to the power
supply, the exposed charging contacts
inside the charger can be shorted by
foreign material. Foreign materials of
a conductive nature such as, but not
limited to, 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 charger
before attempting to clean.
WARNING:
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack
with any chargers other than the ones in
this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for
any uses other than charging D
EWALT
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk
of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it
is absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
• 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.
• Do not block the ventilation slots on the
charger. The ventilation slots are located
on the top and sides of the charger. Place
the charger in a position away from any heat
source.
• 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 the charger; take it to
an authorised service centre when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may

ENGLISH
• Never force the battery pack into charger.
Do not modify the battery pack in any way
to fit into a non-compatible charger as
battery pack may rupture causing serious
personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated
D
EWALT chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other
liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery
pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 40˚C (105˚F) (such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
• For best results, make sure the battery pack is
fully charged before use.
WARNING: Never attempt to open
the battery pack for any reason. If
the battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert it into the
charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery
pack or charger that has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, run over
or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced
with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on). Electric shock or electrocution may
result. Damaged battery packs should
be returned to the service centre for
recycling.
CAUTION: When not in use, place
tool on its side on a stable surface
where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the
battery pack but may be easily knocked
over.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION
(Li-Ion)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with
the skin, immediately wash the area with
mild soap and water. If the battery liquid gets
into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte
is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If
symptoms persists, seek medical attention.
State of charge–DCB107
charging –– –– –– –– ––

This charger 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
DCB105
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.
DCB107
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow
indicator light will be illuminated during this
operation. Once the battery has cooled, the yellow
light will turn off and the charger will resume the
charging procedure.
LI-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.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic
Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the
Li-Ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure
to include the catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the
carton. Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below and then follow
the charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use the battery pack
in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack
from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
