Important Safety Information

Introduction

WARNING Power inverters contain components
that can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire
or explosion, do not install the inverter in areas or
compartments containing batteries or flammable
materials or in locations that require ignition-
protected equipment.

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover
or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install
inverter in zero-clearance compartment.

Warning: Wash Hands After Handling Power Cord

The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical
known in the state of California to cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Caution: Rechargeable Appliances

Certain chargers for small nickel cadmium batteries can be
damaged if connected to the Cobra 800 watt inverter. Two
particular types of equipment are prone to this problem:

1. Small battery-operated

appliances such as flashlights,
razors, and night lights that
can be plugged directly into
an AC receptacle to recharge.

2. Certain battery chargers for

battery packs used in hand
power tools. These chargers
have a WARNING label stating
that dangerous voltages are
present at the battery terminals.

This problem does not occur with the vast majority of
battery operated equipment. Most use a separate charger
or transformer that is plugged into the AC receptacle and
produces a low voltage output. If the label on the AC
adapter or charger states that it produces a low voltage
AC or DC output (less than 30 volts), the inverter will
have no problem powering the adapter safely.
