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 UC3SML.
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 EBM315. 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 but less Length of Cord, Feet (Meter)
greater than than 25 (7.5) 50 (15) 100 (30) 150 (45)
021818 18 16
231818 16 14
341818 16 14
* 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
=
10 amperes
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.
