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:

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.
