ENGLISH
To restart the appliance after a shut down due to
overloading, remove the overload and reset by
disconnecting from the dc power source and then reconnect.
Warning!
This appliance will not operate high wattage
appliances or equipment that produce heat, such as hair
dryers, microwave ovens and toasters.
Protective features of the power inverter
Your appliance monitors the following potentially hazardous
conditions:
X
Low voltage protection
. This condition is not harmful
to the appliance but could damage the power source.
The appliance will automatically shut down when the
input voltage drops to 10.5 +/- 0.5 Vdc. When the
conditions are corrected, disconnect from the dc power
source and reconnect.
X
Over voltage protection.
The power inverter will
automatically shut down when the input voltage
exceeds 16.75 Vdc +/- 0.25 V. When the conditions are
corrected, disconnect from the dc power source and
reconnect.
X
Short circuit protection
. A reverse polarity or short
circuit condition may cause external or internal fuses to
open and may cause irreversible damage to the
appliance. Take extra care to insure a correct polarity
connection.
X
Overload protection
. The power inverter will
automatically shut down when the continuous load
exceeds the rated wattage. When the overload is
removed, reset the appliance by disconnecting from
the dc power source and reconnecting.
X
Over temperature protection
. If the temperature
inside the appliance is too high, the appliance will
automatically shut down. Allow the appliance to cool for
at least 15 minutes before restarting after a heat-related
shut down. Unplug the appliance while cooling.
Hints for optimum use
For best results, the appliance should be placed on a flat
and/or solid surface. The appliance should only be used in
locations that meet the following criteria:
X
DRY
- Do not allow water or other liquids to come into
contact with the appliance.
X
COOL
- The surrounding air temperature should be
between 4°C and 40°C (39°F and 105°F). Ideally
between 15°C and 25°C (60°F and 80°F). Keep the
appliance away from direct sunlight, when possible.
X
WELL VENTILATED
- Keep the area surrounding the
appliance clear to ensure free air circulation.
X
Do not place items on or over the appliance during
operation. The appliance will shut down if the internal
temperature gets too hot.
X
SAFE
- Do not use the appliance near flammable
materials or in any locations that may accumulate
flammable fumes or gases. This is an electrical
appliance that can briefly spark when electrical
connections are made or broken.
Warning!
Rechargeable devices - Some rechargeable
devices do not operate well from a modified sine wave
inverter. They only operate correctly from a standard
household outlet which provides a pure sine wave.
Therefore, the manufacturer recommends that you operate
these type of devices from a standard household outlet only,
not from the appliance.
This problem does not occur with the majority of battery
operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate
charger or transformer that is plugged into an ac mains
socket. The appliance is easily capable of running most
chargers and transformers.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance is on but there is no ac output and the green
power LED indicator (2) is not lit:
X
Check that all the dc connections are connected
correctly.
If the appliance is on and the appliance does not function but
the red power LED indicator (2) is lit, one of the following
conditions has occurred:
X
Low battery voltage
X
Over voltage protection
X
Short circuit
X
Overload
X
Over temperature
Reset the appliance by disconnecting from the dc power
source and reconnecting.
Television interference
The power inverter is shielded to minimise interference with
TV signals. However, in some instances, some interference
may still be visible, particularly with weak TV signals.
Maintenance
Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to operate over
a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
care and regular cleaning.
Warning!
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning
on the appliance, unplug the appliance.
