receptacle. Keep cord from 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.

manufacturer before further use. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and
off. Contact the manufacturer at [phone] 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 for a full 40 hours before using for the first time.
You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC charging method.
• To recharge this unit, use only the built-in AC charger.
• All Power 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
the extension cord by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting from the
built-in 120 volt AC charger or the AC outlet.
