Electrical Safety
The wires in this product are coloured:
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
Green & Yellow Earth
• This appliance must be protected by a suitable fuse
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain, water
or moisture
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside except those referred to in
this manual
• Always refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Never remove any
part of the casing unless qualified to do so; this unit contains dangerous
voltages
• Use of a residual current device will reduce the risk of electric shock
NEVER CONNECT THE BROWN OR BLUE WIRE TO THE EARTH PIN OF A 13A
PLUG. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
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
Maintain your power tool
• Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times, otherwise
overheating and fire may occur
Always disconnect
• Before changing fittings or accessories, always disconnect the tool from
the power source
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
Do not abuse the power cord
• 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
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
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 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). 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 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 (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
