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: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS 1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger Model UC18YGL. 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 BCL1415, BCL1430, BCL1815 and EBM1830. 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 fire, 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 fire 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 specified in Table 1. Table 1 RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AWG SIZE FOR EXTENSION CORDS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS AC Input Rating Amperes* AWG Size of Cord Equal to or greater than but less than Length of Cord, Feet (Meter) 25 (7.5) 50 (15) 100 (30) 150 (45) 0 2 2 3 3 4 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 16 16 14 16 14 * If the input rating of a battery charger is given in 9. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding or plug-replace them immediately. ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the 10. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a wattage rating by the voltage rating-for example: sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged 1,250 watts = 10 amperes 125 volts in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman. 6
