IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CHARGER
WARNING
Death or serious bodily injury could result from
improper or unsafe use of battery chargers.
To avoid these risks, follow these basic safety
instructions:
Battery and battery charger are not included with this
product
AC input rating Ampere*
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
125 volts
9. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or
plug-replace them immediately.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for battery charger Model UC18YFSL.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2)
battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. To reduce risk of injury, charge HITACHI rechargeable
battery type BSL18 series. Other type of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose battery charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk
of fi re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug when disconnecting battery charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
8. 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.

any way; take it to a qualifi ed serviceman.
11. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a
qualifi ed serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fi re.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from
receptacle before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Removing the battery will not reduce this
risk.
