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
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.
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. 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.
2. 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. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
3. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
Wall Mounting
Some D
WALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
e
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.
Torque (Fig. D, E)
WARNING: This is a high‑torque drill. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold tool firmly
with both hands in the proper position for operation
as shown.
WARNING: NEVER brace the tool against the
battery pack.
•
Torque is the twisting action the drill produces in regards
to the rotating bit. As the drill bit meets resistance in the
material being drilled, the motor responds by adjusting
the output torque to meet the requirement up to the
maximum capacity of the motor and gear system.
•
The bit rotates clockwise when the tool is in the forward
position and counterclockwise when the tool is in the
reverse position.
•
The tool reaction torque is in the opposite direction.
ANTI‑ROTATION System (Fig. A)
Your tool is equipped with the D
System. This feature senses the motion of the tool and
shuts the tool down if necessary. The red LED indicator
illuminates when the ANTI-ROTATION System is engaged.
