General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. WORK AREA SAFETY

   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

   • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
     used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards

4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

   • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users
   • Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

   • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or othermall metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from thebattery may cause irritation or burns.

6. SERVICE

   • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained

Additional Specific Safety Rules for Impact Wrenches/Drivers

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:

• * Impairment of hearing.

  • Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
  • Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation.
  • Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

Markings on Tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:
Read instruction manual before use.
Visible radiation. Do not stare into light.

Chargers
The DCB105, DCB107, DCB112, DCB113 and DCB115 chargers accept 10.8 V, 14.4V and 18V Li-Ion XR (DCB140, DCB141, DCB142, DCB143, DCB144, DCB145, DCB180, DCB181, DCB182, DCB183, DCB183B, DCB184, DCB184B and DCB185) battery packs. DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as possible to operate.

Charging Procedure (Fig. 2)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (F) into 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 lithium-ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

Charging Process
Refer to the table below for the charge status of the battery pack.

*DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115:
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery 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 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.

A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery warms.

LITHIUM-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 lithium-ion battery on the charger until it is fully charged.

Worklights (Fig. 1)

There are three work lights (G) located around the 6.35 mm (1/4″) hex chuck (D). The work lights reactivated when the trigger switch is depressed. When the trigger is released, the work light will stay illumine ted for up to 20 seconds

NOTE: The work lights are for lighting the immediate work surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight.

Mode Selector (Fig. 1, 4)

Your tool is equipped with a mode selector (K) which allows you to select one of three modes. Select the mode based on the application and control the speed of the tool using the variable speed trigger switch (A).

Precision Drive (Fig. 4)

In addition to normal impacting modes, this tool features the Precision Drive mode which enables greater  control in lighter applications to avoid damage to materials or fasteners. It is ideal for light applications such as cabinet hinge screws or machine screws. Precision Drive mode will work as a screwdriver in light applications, before hesitating as the screw head reaches the work piece, and then (if required) start a slow controlled impact to ensure th e head ends perfectly flush.

NOTE: This mode is for light duty screwdriving applications. If the tool will not drive a fastener in Precision Mode, please select mode 2 which will give the additional power required.

Quick-Release Chuck (Fig. 2, 5, 6)

WARNING: Use only impact accessories. Non-impact accessories may break and cause a hazardous condition. Inspect accessory prior to use to ensure that it contains no cracks.

NOTE: The chuck accepts 1/4″ (6.35 mm) hex accessories only.

Place the forward/reverse button (B) in the lock-off (centre) position or remove battery pack before changing accessories.

To install an accessory, fully insert the accessory.

The accessory is locked into place (Fig. 5).

To remove an accessory, pull the chuck collar

(C) away from the front of the tool. Remove the accessory (Fig. 6).

Usage

Your impact tool generates the following maximum torque:

Cat: NM
DCF887: 205

CAUTION : Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque may cause breakage and possible personal injury.

1. Place the accessory into the chuck. Keep the tool pointed straight at the work piece.
2. Press switch to start operation. Release the switch to stop operation. Always check torque with a torque wrench, as the fastening torque is affected by many factors including the following:
   • Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged battery, will reduce fastening torque.
   • Socket size: Failure to use the correct socket size will cause a reduction in fastening torque.
   • Bolt Size: Larger bolt diameters generally require higher fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
   • Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other debris to allow proper fastening torque.
   • Material : The type of material and surface finish of the material will affect fastening torque.
   • Fastening Time : Longer fastening time results in increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening time than recommended could cause the fasteners to be overstressed, stripped or damaged.
