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
UC7SD.

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 EB714S. 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:

That blades of extension cord are the same number,
size, and shape as those of plug on battery charger;

That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and

That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating
of battery charger as specified in Table 1.

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.
