IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
- Output non-sinusoidal.
- Do not obstruct ventilation openings or mount in zero clearance compartment. Overheating may increase the risk of fire and electric shock.
- Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
- Remove the battery before servicing.
- Neutral floating.
- For use with Bauer 20V Li-Ion battery packs (sold separately).
- Do not use inverter if it has been dropped or impacted sharply. Use of a damaged device increases the risk of fire.
- Remove the battery pack from the inverter when not in use.
- Do not disassemble the battery inverter.
- Keep out of the reach of children.
- Store power inverter indoors and out of the reach of children.
- AC Output must be used for powering devices of 150W or less. Connecting large loads to the inverter can lead to damage.
- Plugs must properly fit the outlet without being forced. Do not insert any plug into the inverter if it does not fit easily into place.
- Power inverter must be kept in cool environment. Keep away from heat.
- Do not use power inverter near flammable gases or fumes. Do not power medical equipment with this power inverter.
- Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
- Use inverter only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
- Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- Do not use a battery pack or inverter that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Do not expose a battery pack or power inverter to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 140°F may cause explosion.
- Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
- Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
- Do not modify or attempt to repair the inverter or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
- The battery Charger gets hot during use. The Charger's heat can build up to unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger. Especially avoid placing the Charger on carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they also obstruct vents under the Charger. Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a stable metal workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area. Frequently monitor the Charger and Battery Pack while charging.
