CAUTION
○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject to
direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for
0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (o ff for 0.3
seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool, then
start charging.
○ When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.
○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about
3 seconds to con fi rm that the battery being charged with
UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds
before reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery
is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery may not be
properly charged.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the washer and hoses (Fig. 21)
Check to make sure that there is no damage, cracks or
malformations.
Make sure you clean the hole on the nozzle with the
nozzle cleaner pin supplied on a regular basis.
NOTE
Detach the trigger gun and clean the nozzle hole.
2. Inspecting the strainer (Fig. 22)
Wash all blockages out of the grid with water on a regular
basis.
NOTE
Withdraw the strainer from the water feed inlet with the
use of fl at radio pliers.
3. Clean the washer
Squeeze the excess moisture from a cloth soaked in
soap and water and wipe the washer.
Do not use gasoline, thinner, benzene, kerosene, etc.
Failure to observer this may result in malformations.
4. Check for loose screws.
Check for loose screws on a regular basis and tighten
any screws that are loose. Failure to observe this could
be dangerous.
5. Tidying up and storing the washer after use
(Fig. 23)
The accessories can be stored inside the washer as
shown in Fig. 23 when not in use and when being carried
around.
Avoid the following environments and store the washer
and accessories in a safe, dry location when not in use.
○ Do not store within the reach of children, or in locations
where children can use it.
○ Do not store in location where rain can reach it, such as
in front of the house, or in locations with high humidity.
○ Do not store in locations that are subject to drastic
changes in temperature or direct sunlight.
○ Do not store in locations containing volatile substances
that may ignite or explode.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signi fi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signi fi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
Important notice on the batteries for the Hitachi
cordless power tools
Please always use one of our designated genuine
batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and
performance of our cordless power tool when used with
batteries other than these designated by us, or when
the battery is disassembled and modi fi ed (such as
disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal
parts).
