IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGER
1.This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger Model UC14YF2 or UC14YFA.
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 EB7, EB9, EB12, EB14 series. 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.

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) |
0 | 2 | 18 | 18 | 18 | 16 |
2 | 3 | 18 | 18 | 16 | 14 |
3 | 4 | 18 | 18 | 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
1250 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.
