Do not use power tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from
combustible material, flammable liquids, flammable gases, or dust of
an explosive nature. When using power tools avoid contact with any
earthed items such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal
baths and taps.
Protect yourself from vibration
•
Hand held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves to keep the operator warm may help to maintain good
blood circulation in the fingers. Hand held tools should not be used for
long periods without a break.
Maintain your power tool
•
Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times. Overheating and
fire may otherwise result.
Always disconnect
•
Before changing fittings or accessories, always ensure that your tool is
disconnected from the power source.
Switch off before connecting
•
Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to off.
Do not abuse the power cord
•
Be sure your cable or extension cable is in good condition. Always have
a damaged cable or extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using it. Never pull the cable to disconnect it from the
power socket. Never carry your tool by its cable. Keep the cable away
from damp, heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges.
Do not leave the tool running unattended
•
Always wait until your tool has completely stopped functioning, and has
been unplugged, before leaving it.

Unpacking Your Inverter
•
Carefully unpack and inspect your inverter. Fully familiarise yourself with
all features and functions of the product.
•
If any parts are damaged or missing, have these parts repaired or
replaced before use.
Placement of your inverter
• Always place the inverter on a level surface.
• Do not use the inverter in any damp environment, or any position where
the inverter could accidentally come into contact with water.
• Always position the inverter away from direct sunlight and other
heat sources. The inverter should only be used when the ambient air
temperature is between 10-30˚C.
• Allow for adequate ventilation around the inverter. There should always
be at least 25mm of clear space around the inverter. Do not place
anything on top of the inverter. Ensure that ventilation holes are not
obscured.
• Do not use the inverter in any location where flammable gasses may be
present. This includes inside engine bays, and battery compartments.
Connecting to the power supply
• This inverter is supplied with a 12V supply lead (6). This allows you to
connect the inverter directly to a 12V battery.
• Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any form of 230V distribution
system (e.g. building or caravan wiring).
• The 12V system must be capable of supplying an adequate current
to the inverter. To calculate the approximate current requirement, divide
the inverter power rating (W) by 10. Consult the vehicle user manual for
electrical supply information.
• This inverter should only be used with 12V DC positive earth electrical
systems. Use with any other type of system may be dangerous and could
cause permanent damage to electrical components.
• Remove the screws of the 12V input connecters (5) and attach one end
of each 12V supply lead to the connectors. Tighten the screws. Ensure
that the positive and negative (red and black) leads are connected to the
correct terminals as indicated on the inverter
• The free ends of the 12V supply leads can now be connected to the
battery.
• To reduce the risk of accidental short circuiting, always have the
12V supply leads securely attached to the inverter when connecting or
disconnecting the battery.
• Do not attempt to connect the inverter to the 12V supply by any other
means than the supplied connector.
