8-1. Safety Instructions In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Models DS 18DVF3 and DS 14DVF3 Cordless Driver Drills by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale, the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Caution Plate and Name Plate attached to each tool.

(7) Do not attempt to disassemble the Storage Battery or the Charger. Special devices, such as a thermostat, are built into the storage battery and charger to permit rapid charging. Incorrect parts replacement and/or wiring will cause malfunctions which could result in fire or other hazards. Instruct the customer to bring these units to an authorized service center in the event repair or replacement is necessary.
Page 18
(3) The following caution is listed on the Name Plate to the Model UC 18YG Charger. For the U.S.A. and Canada For safe operation, see instruction manual. Charge HITACHI CAUTION rechargeable batteries types EB7, EB9, EB12, EB14 and EB18 series. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. Charge between 32ûF and 104ûF.
(5) Variation in amount of work possible per charge Although the nominal chargeable capacity of the storage batteries used with the Model DS 18DVF3 and DS 14DVF3 is 1.4 Ah or 2.0 Ah, the actual capacity may vary within 10% of that value depending on the ambient temperature during use and charging, and the number of times the batteries have been recharged.
