Electrical Safety
Dangerous environment
• Do not use power tools in damp or wet conditions, or expose them to
rain. Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep the area well
lit. 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 may help to maintain good blood circulation in the
fingers. Hand-held tools should not be used for long periods without a
break
Switch off before connecting
• Ensure the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to
OFF
Always disconnect
• Before changing fittings or accessories, always disconnect the tool from
the power source
Do not abuse the power cable
• Be sure the cable / extension cable is in good condition. Always have
a damaged cable / extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using. Never pull the cable to disconnect it from the power
socket. Never carry the tool by its cable. Keep the cable away from damp,
heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges
Maintain your power tool
• Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times, otherwise
overheating and fire may occur
Do not modify the power tool
• Do not modify the power tool in any way as this could result in serious
injury and may invalidate its guarantee
Do not leave the tool running unattended
• Always wait until the tool has completely stopped functioning and has
been unplugged before leaving it unattended

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 accidentally 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 adequate ventilation by ensuring there is always at least 25mm
clear space around the inverter. Do not place anything on top of the
inverter. Ensure ventilation holes are kept clear of obstructions
• Do not use the inverter in any location where flammable gases may be
present, including inside engine bays and battery compartments
Connecting to the power supply
• This inverter is supplied with 12V Supply Leads (7). 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)
• 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
• This inverter is equipped with a set of 12V input connectors. This enables
a battery to be used to feed the inverter
• Remove the screws of the 12V Input Connecters (6) 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
