  •  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 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers 
The DCB105 charger accepts 10.8 V, 14.4 V and 
18 V Li-Ion (DCB121, DCB123, DCB140, DCB141, 
DCB142, DCB180, DCB181, DCB182, DCB183 
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 (d) 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 to the table below for the state of charge of 
the battery pack.

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
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.
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic 
Protection System that will protect the battery 
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
