NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the ambient
temperature and power source voltage.
CAUTION
When the battery charger has been continuously used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger
fi
rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,
and then keep it.
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
pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not
light for 0.5 seconds (o
ff
for 0.5 seconds). In such a case,
fi
rst let the battery cool, then start charging.
○
When the pilot 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 charger 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.

Malfunction in the
battery or the charger
○
If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every second)
even though the charger cord is connected to the power,
it indicates that the protection circuit of the charger may
be activated.
Remove the cord or plug from the power and then
connect it again after 30 seconds or so. If this does
not cause the pilot lamp to blink in red (every second),
please take the charger to the Hitachi Authorized Service
Center.

SELECTION OF BLADES
To ensure maximum operating e

very important to select the appropriate blade best suited to
the type and thickness of the material to be cut. The blade
