1.5Keep the inverter dry.
1.6DO NOT allow the inverter to come into contact with rain or moisture.
1.7DO NOT operate the inverter if you, the inverter, the device being operated or any other surfaces that may come into contact with any power source are wet. Water and many other liquids can con- duct electricity, which may lead to serious injury or death.
1.8Do not place the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat or flammable materials.
1.9Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. The ideal air tempera- ture for operation is between 50° and 80°F.
1.10Only connect the power inverter to a
1.11Make sure the AC plug connection is tight.
1.12Do not modify the inverter in any way including cables, plugs or switches as it may result in property damage or personal injury.

2.BEFORE USING YOUR POWER INVERTER
When you turn on a device or a tool that runs on a motor, the device basically goes through two stages:
1.Start Up – Requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the “starting or peak load”).
2.Continuous Operation – Power consumption drops (commonly known as the “continuous load”).
The wattage (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can normally be found stamped or printed on most devices and equipment, or in the user’s manual. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer to find out
