GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injur
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
-
Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b ) 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.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. -
Electrical Safety
a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d ) 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.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cordsuitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f ) 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. -
Personal Safety
a ) 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.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g ) 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.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second. -
Power Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
d ) 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.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) 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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers..
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.

Charging a Battery (Fig. B)
- Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
- Insert the battery pack 6 into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process has started.
- The completion of 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.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button 5 on the battery pack.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
Charger Operation
Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack.
- 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 faulty battery by refusing to light.
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 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 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
XR 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
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 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 25.4 mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 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.
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. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of
the tool into a liquid.

Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire
if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit.
DEWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed
by industry and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA)
Dangerous Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG)
Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells
and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on
the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a DEWALT battery pack will be excepted from being
classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only
shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than
100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All
lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack.
Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DEWALT does not recommend air
shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating.
Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted
if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100 Whr.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it
is the shipper’s responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good
faith and believed to be accurate at the time the document was created.
However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the applicable
regulations.
Transporting the FlEXVOlT ™ Battery
The DEWALT FLEXVOLT TM battery has two modes: Use and Transport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT ™ battery stands alone or is in a DEWALT
18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT ™
battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as
a 54V battery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT ™ battery,
the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for shipping.
When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically disconnected within
the pack resulting in 3 batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as
compared to 1 battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity
of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour
batteries.
For example, the Transport Example of Use and Transport Label Marking Wh
rating might indicate 3 x 36 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Wh each. The Use Wh
rating might indicate 108 Wh (1 battery implied).
Storage Recommendations
- The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not in use.
- For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge.
The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.

Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch 1 . To turn the tool off,
release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The tool will
stop when the trigger switch is fully released. The variable speed switch
enables you to start the application at a slow speed. The further you squeeze
the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. For maximum tool life, use
variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may
damage the switch and should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. A)
A forward/reverse control button 2 determines the direction of the tool and
also serves as a lock-off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch 1 and depress the
forward/reverse control button 2 on the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch 1 and depress the
forward/reverse control button 2 on the left side of the tool. The centre
position of the control button locks the triggerswitch in the off position.
When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is
released.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of
rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
Worklights (Fig. A)
There are three worklights 7 located around the 6.35 mm hex chuck 4 . The
worklights are activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated for up to 20
seconds.
nOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work surface and are not
intended to be used as a flashlight.
Mode Selector (Fig. A, D)
Your tool is equipped with a mode selector 11 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 1 .
Precision Drive (Fig. D)
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 the 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.

Usage
Your impact tool generates the following maximum torque:
Cat # | Nm |
---|---|
DCF850 | 206.2 |
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.
- Place the accessory into the chuck. Keep the tool pointed straight at the work piece.
- 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 fasten ing time results in increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening time than recommended could cause the fasteners to be overstressed, stripped or damaged.
