e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all
its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If
any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Placement of your inverter
• Always place the inverter on a level surface
• Do not use the inverter in a damp environment, or any position where
the inverter could come into contact with water
• Always position the inverter away from direct sunlight and other
heat sources. Only use the inverter 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 kept
clear of any obstructions
• 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:
• 12V Supply Leads (6), for direct connection to a 12V battery
• In-car plug (7), for direct connection to a 12V in-car socket in a vehicle
• 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 negative earth electrical
systems. Use with any other type of system may be dangerous and could
cause permanent damage to electrical components
• Do not attempt to connect the inverter to the 12V supply by any other
means than the supplied connectors
Us ing the 12V Supply Leads:
• Remove the screws of the 12V Input Connectors (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
