heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Disconnect appliances. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in use, before servicing,
and when changing accessories.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) PROTECTION should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be
used. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

• Stay alert. Use common sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired or impaired.
• Check for damaged parts. Any part that is damaged should be replaced by the manufacturer
before further use. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Contact the manufacturer at (877)
571-2391 for more information.
• Do not operate this appliance near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Never submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance
or cleaning. Turning off controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) That produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used
in a garage or enclosed area, the unit must be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
• Do not use this unit to operate appliances that need more than 5 amps to operate from the 12 volt dc
accessory outlet.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the usb port, the 12 volt dc accessory outlet or the 120 volt ac outlet.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING THIS UNIT
• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension
cord (not supplied) for a full 40 hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the
AC charging method.
• All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all
switches are in the OFF position before connection to a power source or load.
Extension cords:
WARNING: Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. When using an
extension cord, make sure that the pins of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in
the charger; and be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

When an extension cord is used, make sure that:
a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Pull by connector rather than
cord when disconnecting the extension cord from the unit; and by the plug when disconnecting the extension
cord from an AC outlet.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN CHARGING USING THE 12 VOLT
DC METHOD:
• Recharge using this method only when necessary. Frequent use of the 12 Volt DC charging method may
shorten battery life.
• DO NOT EXCEED 6 HOURS CHARGING TIME USING THIS METHOD.
