English IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGER WARNING: Death or serious bodily injury could result from imprper 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 UC 24YFA. 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 EB1820. 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) 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 rating–for example: 1250watts = 10 amperes 125 volts English 9. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or plug-replace them immediately. 10. Do not operate battery charger if...
