3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating an electrical device. Do not use potentially dangerous
electrical devices while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating potentially
dangerous devices may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment including eye protection where
appropriate. Protective equipment used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to a power source.Carrying electrical devices
with your finger on the switch or energising devices that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the device in unexpected situations.
4) Use and Care
a) Do not force the device. Use the correct device for your application.
The correct device will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b) Do not use the electrical device if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any device that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing electrical devices. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the device accidentally.
d) Store idle devices out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the device or these instructions to operate it.
Electrical devices may be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain electrical devices. Check for defects of parts and any other
condition that may affect the device's operation. If damaged, have
the device repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained electrical devices.
f) Use the device and its accessories in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the conditions and the task to be
performed. Use of the device for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your electrical devices serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the device is maintained.
Inverter Safety
WARNING: Inverters produce the same dangerous and potentially lethal AC
voltage as domestic mains sockets.
WARNING: DO NOT use the inverter in any location where flammable gases
may be present, including inside engine bays and battery compartments.
Lead acid batteries can generate flammable fumes. Electronic devices and
making electrical connections can cause sparks that ignite those fumes.
WARNING: If skin or clothing comes into contact with acid from leaking lead
acid batteries, remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash affected
skin with soap and copious amounts of fresh water. If acid enters the eye,
flush under cool running water for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek
urgent medical attention.
WARNING: DO NOT use the inverter near flammable materials or objects
that can be affected by heat. The inverter may become very hot during
extended periods of full power use.
WARNING: People with heart pacemakers should consult their physician
before use. Strong electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
a) DO NOT use the inverter in a damp environment, where the air
has high moisture content or any position where the inverter could
accidentally come into contact with water. This may prevent use in a
marine environment especially for smaller vessels
b) When used in a stationary location the inverter must be fully
protected from the weather and kept under cover
c) Allow sufficient space around the inverter for cooling. DO NOT place
on carpets or rugs as they can block vents on the bottom of the inverter and
are a fire hazard
d) Use in cool to moderate ambient temperatures only. DO NOT place on
top or near a heating vent
e) ALWAYS confirm devices are suitable for use with moderated sine
wave current. DO NOT attempt to power devices that require pure sine
wave current
f) DO NOT use on any vehicles with power supplies other than 12V.
Some vehicles use 24V or 6V systems.
g) DO NOT use DC cables that are not suitable for the maximum input
current rating of the inverter. Neither the vehicle or the inverter can
sense if inadequate cables are connected and there is a fire and explosion
risk to using such cables
h) DO NOT connect any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor
is connected to protective earth or to the minus pole of the source
battery. This could severely damage both devices
i) DO NOT install this inverter into a building's electrical system. It
is not designed to be integrated safely into such an electrical system and
has not been tested or certified to meet building electrical standards. Such
installations may create a fire risk or electric shock hazard
j) DO NOT attempt to integrate the inverter in any pre-existing 230V
distribution system in a motorhome or caravan. Such work should be
done by a qualified electrician
k) Connecting an inverter to an existing fused circuit of a vehicle's
electrical system can be dangerous and lead to substantial damage.
ALWAYS connect an inverter directly to a vehicle battery unless you are
absolutely sure it is safe to do otherwise
Note: If you wish to have the inverter turned on and off with the vehicle's
ignition, use a fused relay circuit so that a low current circuit can turn on
and off a high current connection that is directly connected to the battery.

Unpacking Your Tool
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. 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.
Intended Use
Device for converting 12V DC into AC mains voltage so normal mains-
operated devices can be used from DC power. The device can be used in
fixed locations or in vehicles.
