Important Safety Instructions For Use Of The Battery And Battery Charger - Hitachi R 18DSAL Instructions De Sécurité Et Mode D'emploi

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:
AC Input Rating Amperes*
Equal to or
greater than
0
2
3
* 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
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 qualifi ed
serviceman.
11. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a
qualifi ed serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a
risk of electric shock or fi re.
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.
