Using an extension cable

An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of your charger
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is
2
1 mm ; the maximum length is 30 m.

Assembly and adjustment

• Prior to assembly and adjustment,
always remove the battery pack.
• Always switch off the tool before
inserting or removing the battery pack.
• Use only D WALT battery packs and
E
chargers.
Battery pack (fig. A)
Charging the battery pack
• To charge the battery pack (10), insert it into the
charger (12) as shown and plug in the charger.
Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger, but do not force it.
The red charging indicator (13) will blink. After
approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and remain on.
The battery pack is now fully charged and the
charger automatically switches to equalisation
mode. After approx. 4 hours, it will switch to
maintenance charge mode. The battery pack can be
removed at any time or left in the connected charger
indefinitely.
• The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to
indicate a charging problem. Reinsert the battery
pack or try a new one. If the new pack also
refuses to charge, have your charger tested by
an authorised D WALT repair agent.

• When plugged into power sources such as
generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the
red charging indicator may blink twice, switch off
and repeat. This indicates a temporary problem
of the power source. The charger will
automatically switch back to normal operation.
.
Inserting and removing the battery pack
• Insert the battery pack into the grip (8) until it
clicks in place.
• To remove the battery pack, press the two
release buttons (11) simultaneously and pull the
pack out of the grip (8).
Equalisation mode
The equalisation mode helps to maintain the
optimum capacity of the battery pack. It is therefore
recommended to use the equalisation mode weekly
or every 10 charge/discharge cycles.
• Charge the battery pack as described above.
• When the charging indicator stops blinking, leave
the battery in the charger for approx. 4 hours.
DE9108/DE9116 - Hot Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is hot,
it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery has cooled. After the
battery has cooled, the charger automatically
switches to the pack charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life. The red indicator (13)
blinks long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay
mode.
Inserting and removing bits (fig. A & B)
• Open the chuck by turning the sleeve (15)
counterclockwise and insert the bit shank.
• Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go and
lift slightly before tightening.
• Tighten firmly by turning the sleeve clockwise.
• To remove the bit, proceed in reverse order.

Do not charge the battery pack at
ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C.
Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.
