in overheating of the wires or attached items, resulting
in fire.
• To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
compliant with local electrical codes for the operating
environment.
• Do not operate portable power station/charger with
mechanical or electrical problem. Attempting to use
the unit when it has been damaged, or when it is not
