GENERAL OPERATIONAL
PRECAUTIONS
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
2. Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t expose power
tools and charger to rain. Don’t use power tools and
charger in damp or wet locations. And keep work area
well lit.
Never use power tools and charger near fl ammable or
explosive materials.
Do not use tool and charger in presence of fl ammable
liquids or gases.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
4. Store idle tools and charger. When not in use, tools
and charger should be stored in dry, high or locked-
up place — out of reach or children. Store tools and
charger in a place in which the temperature is less
than 40°C.
5. Don’t abuse cord. Never carry charger by cord or yank
it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
6. When the charger is not in use or when being
maintained and inspected, disconnect the power cord
of the charger from the receptacle.
7. To avoid danger, always use only the specifi ed
charger.
8. Use only genuine HITACHI replacement parts.
9. Do not use power tools and charger for applications
other than those specifi ed in the Handling Instructions.
10. To avoid personal injury, use only the accessories
or attachment recommended in these handling
instructions or in the HITACHI catalog.
11. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacture or its service agent or a similarly
qualifi ed person in order to avoid a hazard.
Let only the authorized service center do the
repairing. The Manufacture will not be responsible
for any damages or injuries caused by repair by the
unauthorized persons or by mishandling of the tool.
12. To ensure the designed operational integrity of power
tools and charger, do not remove installed covers or
screws.
13. Always use the charger at the voltage specifi ed on the
nameplate.
14. Always charge the battery before use.
15. Never use a battery other than that specifi ed. Do not
connect a usual dry cell, a rechargeable battery other
than that specifi ed or a car battery to the power tool.
16. Do not use a transformer containing a booster.
17. Do not charge the battery from DC power supply.
18. Always charge indoors. Because the charger and
battery heat slightly during charging, charge the
battery in a place not exposed to direct sunlight;
where the humidity is low and the ventilation is good.
19. Use the exploded assembly drawing on this handling
instructions only for authorized servicing.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CHARGER
1. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature
of -10–40°C. A temperature of less than -10°C will
result in over charging which is dangerous. The
battery cannot be charged at a temperature greater
than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of
20–25°C.
2. Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger
for about 15 minutes before the next charging of
battery.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or
charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to
the battery.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
7. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.
8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was
purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life
becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of
the exhausted battery.
9. Do not insert objects into the air ventilation slots of the
charger.
Inserting metal objects or fl ammable into the charger
air ventilation slots will result in an electrical shock
hazard or damage to the charger.

2. Insert the battery into the charger.
Firmly insert the battery into the charger as shown in
Fig. 1.
3. Charging
When inserting a battery in the charger, the charge
indicator lamp will blink in blue.
When the battery becomes fully recharged, the charge
indicator lamp will light up in green. (See Table 1)

English
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 fi rst and second time. This is
a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required
for recharging will be restored by recharging the
batteries 2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) 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.
(2) 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
○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because it
has been left for a long time in a location subject to
direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights
for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for
0.3 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (at
0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any
foreign objects in the charger’s battery connector.
If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about
3 seconds to confi rm that the battery being charged
with UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of
3 seconds before reinserting it to continue charging. If
the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery
may not be properly charged.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
2. Cleaning of the charger
When the charger is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
3. Store idle charger
When not in use, the charger should be stored in dry,
high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
NOTE
Due to HITACHI’s continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
