BeFore eACH uSe, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose

screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts and

any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

AFter uSe, clean external surfaces of the tool with clean, moist cloth.

Due to the sensitive wiring and electrical circuits within this device, and the

possibility of injury, the fuses inside this unit are to be replaced only by a

qualified technician. Also, this unit must have all energy storing electronics

discharged before opening; test for voltage to verify that the unit is safe before

opening.

If the low battery alarm sounds, this means that the input voltage is below the

necessary 10. V. The battery needs recharging. You should stop using the

appliance and then recharge the battery. If this is not done, the Inverter will shut

off automatically at around 10 V.

If you are unsure if the inverter will have the proper amount of current to run the

device, use this rough guideline: Take the power consumption of the load in watts

and divide it by 12 (input voltage). The result will be the approximate number of

amps needed to power your device.

Example: Load is rated at 312 watts. 312 watts / 12 V = 2 amps needed. You

could use this device with the inverter.

If your television will not start, it is important to keep in mind that some appliances

(including many televisions) may require two to six times their wattage to start up.

If your audio system buzzes while using this inverter, it is because some sound

systems can not filter out the modified sine wave produced by the inverter. Use a

sound system that incorporates a higher quality power supply.

This inverter is made to minimize the interference with TV signals. However,

especially with weak TV signals, some interference may still be visible. To correct

this, place the inverter as far away as possible from the television antenna and it's

cables. Next, adjust the orientation of the inverter to the antenna cables and TV

power cord to minimize the interference. Also, use a shielded antenna cable.

If the low battery alarm is on all the time, try these corrective measures: Recharge

battery if in poor condition. Next, check the battery connection. You may need to

clean the connectors.

If you are getting a low output voltage, try reducing the load to minimize watts. You

may have overloaded the inverter. Reduce your load to 90 watts. Also, keep input

voltage above 10.5 volts to maintain a constant flow of power.

If you are not getting any power output, turn the power switch Off and On again,

until the green power light comes on. Your devices may draw too much power to

operate them. The inverter may be in thermal shutdown. Let it cool down and make

sure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
