IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand all of the safety precautions, warnings and operating instructions in
the Instruction Manual before operating or maintaining this battery charger.
Most accidents that result from battery charger operation and maintenance are caused by
the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided
by recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing
appropriate safety procedures.
Basic safety precautions are outlined in the “SAFETY” section of this Instruction Manual
and in the sections which contain the operation and maintenance instructions.
Hazards that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or machine damage are identified by
WARNINGS on the battery charger and in this Instruction Manual.
NEVER use this battery charger in a manner that has not been specifically recommended
by HITACHI.
MEANINGS OF SIGNAL WORDS
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situations which, if ignored, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situations which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury, or may cause machine damage.
NOTE emphasizes essential information.

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 UC18YRL and UC18YFL.
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 types EB7, EB9, EB12,
EB14, EB18, BCL14 series 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
EXTENTION CORDS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
AC Input Rating Amperes* AWG Size of Cord
Equal to or but less Length of Cord, Feet (Meter)
greater than than 25 (7.5) 50 (15) 100 (30) 150 (45)
02 1818 18 16
23 1818 16 14
34 1818 16 14

English
* 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, 250watts
125 volts
9. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or plug-replace them immediately.
10. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
11. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
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.
13. This battery charger might be attached to HITACHI battery operated tools as a standard
accessory. In this case, please confirm Instruction Manual of the HITACHI battery
operated tools before using the battery charger.

4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.
5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been
used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal
time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

English
How to make the batteries perform longer.
䡬 Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and
recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the
battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.
䡬 Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged
immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery
life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION:
䢇 When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will be heated,
thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed,
give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
䢇 If the battery is rechraged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,
the pilot lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.
䢇 When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2–second intervals), check for and take out
any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
BEFORE USE
Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION: Pull out battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.
1. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION: Using this battery charger with loosened screws is extremely dangerous.
2. Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for they may damage the plastics.
