Shipping the DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ Battery
The DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and Shipping.

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a DeWALT 20V Max product, it will operate as a 20V Max battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max or a 120V Max (two 60V Max batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max battery.

Shipping Mode : When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode. Strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher watt-hour batteries. The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt-hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.

Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking

USE : 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh

For example, the Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40-watt hours each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B) Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack. The fuel gauge is an indication of the approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators:

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged

Charging a Battery (Fig. C)

• Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.
• Insert the battery pack 2 into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger.
• The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has started.
• The completion of the charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously.
• The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.

Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack.

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132: The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack 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 a faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying a problem pack or charger blink pattern.

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 will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to the maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms. The DCB118 charger is 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. Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of the charger.

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 if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

Wall Mounting

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable 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 airflow.

Know Your Air Compressor

READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.

Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.

• Auto On(I)/Off(O) Switch 1 : Place this switch in the “Auto On” position to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and “Off” to remove power at the end of each use.
• Pressure Switc h (not shown): The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set “cut-in” pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory-set “cut-out” pressure.
• Safety Valve 4 : If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its “cut-out” pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by “popping out” at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch “cut-out” setting).
• Tank Pressure Gauge 5 : The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
• One-Turn Regulator 6 : Controls the air pressure available at the quick-connect outlet. Turn the regulator clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Stop when the indicator matches with desired outlet pressure.
• Cooling System (not shown) : This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
• Air Compressor Pump (not shown) : Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that is required at the air outlet.
• Drain Valve 7 : The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.
• Check Valve 8 : When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure, the check valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
• Motor Overload Protector (not shown) : The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting.

To restart:

• Set the Auto On/Off switch to “Off”.
• Remove the battery.
• Allow the motor to cool.
• Replace the battery.

WARNING : Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
WARNING : Risk from Flying Objects. Always wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.

To Drain Tank

WARNING: Risk of Unsafe Operation. Air tanks contain high-pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from the outlet of the drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
WARNING: Risk from noise. Always wear proper hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances that may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
WARNING : Risk of Bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.

GLOSSARY

• CFM : Cubic feet per minute.
• SCFM : Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
• PSI : Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.
• kPa (kilopascal) : Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal equal 1000 pascals.
• Code Certification : Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL®, CUL, CULUS, ETL®, CETL, CETLUS, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.
• UL® is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories and ETL® is a registered trademark of Electrical Testing Laboratories.
• Cut-In Pressure : While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops when accessory is used. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called cut-in pressure.
• Cut-Out Pressure : When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called cut-out pressure.
• Duty Cycle: This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 30–45 minutes in any given hour.

Troubleshooting

1

| The pressure switch does not shut off

motor when the compressor reaches cut-out pressure

| Set the Auto On/Off switch to “Off” and remove the battery, if the unit does not shut off contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT authorized service center.
2| Pressure switch cut-out too high| Contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT-authorized service center.
3| Tube fittings are not tight enough| Tighten fittings where air can be heard escaping. Check fittings with soapy water solution. Do

not Overtighten.

4

| Defective air tank| The air tank must be replaced. Do not repair the leak.

A WARNING: Risk of bursting. Do not drill into, weld or otherwise modify

the air tank or it will weaken. The air tank can rupture or explode.

5| Leaking seals| Contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT- authorized service center.
6| Defective safety valve| Operate the safety valve manually by pulling on the ring. If the valve still leaks, it must be replaced.

7

| The regulator is not adjusted correctly for the accessory being used| It is normal for some pressure drop to occur when an accessory is used, adjust the regulator as instructed in the One-turn Regulator under Description of Operations if the pressure drop is excessive.

Note: Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions while the accessory is being used.

8| Prolonged excessive use of air| Decrease the amount of air usage.
9| The compressor is not large enough for

accessory

| Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher than the CFM or pressure supplied by your air

compressor, a larger compressor is needed to operate accessories.

11| Check valve restricted| Contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT-authorized service center.
12| Air leaks| Tighten fittings.
13| Regulator is damaged| Replace.
14| The motor overload protection switch has

tripped

| Refer to Motor Overload Protector under Description of Operations. If motor overload protection

trips frequently, contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT authorized service center.

15| Tank pressure exceeds pressure switch

cut-in pressure

| The motor will start automatically when tank pressure drops below the cut-in pressure of the pressure switch.
16| Loose electrical connections| Contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT-authorized service center.
17| Possible defective motor| Contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT-authorized service center.
18| Paint spray on internal motor parts| Contact a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT-authorized service center. Do not operate the

compressor in the paint spray area. See the flammable vapor warning.

19| The pump does not run because the tank

pressure is above cut-in pressure.

| Drain the tank to below cut-in pressure when the pump turns on.
20| The pump does not run due to a safety fault.| Cycle Auto On/Off Switch from “Off” to “Auto On.”
