IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
WARNING
Death or serious bodily injury could result from
improper or unsafe use of battery chargers and
battery. To avoid these risks, follow these basic
safety instructions:
CAUTION
USE ONLY HITACHI BATTERY TYPE BSL18
SERIES. OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY
BURST AND CAUSE INJURY!
1. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re,
explosion or risk of injury.
2. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause
explosion.
AC Input Rating Amperes*
Equal to or
greater than
0
2
3
*
If the input rating of a battery charger is given in watts
rather than in amperes, the corresponding ampere
rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage
rating by the voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts
= 10 amperes
125 volts
8. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or
plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a qualifi ed serviceman.
10. Do not disassemble battery charger and the battery;
take it to a qualified serviceman when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in
a risk of electric shock or fi re.
11. You must charge the battery before you can use the
power tool.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger
from the electrical outlet when not in use, as well as
before maintenance or cleaning.

3. This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for battery charger Model UC18YKSL.
4. To reduce risk of injury, charge HITACHI rechargeable
battery type BSL18 series. Other type of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug when disconnecting battery charger.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fi re and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a.
That blades of extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as those of plug on
battery charger:
b.
That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c.
That wire size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of battery charger as specifi ed in Table 1.

13. NEVER charge outdoors. Keep the battery away
from direct sunlight and use only where there is low
humidity and good ventilation.
14. NEVER charge when the temperature is below 32°F
(0°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
15. NEVER connect two battery chargers together.
16. NEVER insert any objects into the hole for the battery
or the battery charger. Electric shock or damage to
the battery and the battery charger may result.
17. NEVER use a booster transformer when charging.
18. NEVER use an engine generator or DC power to
charge.
19. NEVER store the battery or battery charger in places
where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F
(40°C).
20. ALWAYS operate charger on standard household
electrical power (120 volts). Using the charger on any
other voltage may overheat and damage the charger.
21. ALWAYS wait at least 15 minutes between charges
to avoid overheating the charger.
