IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE OF THE CORDLESS IMPACT
DRIVER
WARNING
Death or serious bodily injury could result from
improper or unsafe use of the cordless impact
driver. To avoid these risks, follow these basic
safety instructions:
1. NEVER use this impact driver handle for any
application other than those in this manual.
2. NEVER place hands or other body parts near the drill
bit or chuck during operation.
Hold the impact driver by its handle only.
3. When working in high places, always make sure that
ther is no one below before starting to work.
4. ALWAYS wear eye and ear protection when you work.
5. ALWAYS install the driver bit securely. A loose bit is
dangerous because it can come loose while you are
working.
6. ALWAYS use the driver bit that matches the screw
size.
7. ALWAYS have the screw you are screwing in and
this impact driver in a straight line. Working with this
impact driver at an angle to the screw can damage the
screw head and will not give the prescribed tightening
torque.

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:

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 UC18YKSL.
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 BSL18 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 fi re, 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 fi re 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 specifi ed in Table 1.
