tO pREVEnt SERiOuS inJuRY FROm aCCiDEntal OpERatiOn: 

make sure that all power Switches/triggers are in the off-position and unplug the tool 

from its electrical outlet before performing any procedure in this section.

Operating instructions

1.  Place the Power Inverter on a flat surface.  Make 

sure it has adequate ventilation and is not in direct 

sunlight.  Locate the Inverter close enough to the car 

battery so that the Cables can easily reach between 

the Inverter and the car battery. Position the Inverter 

so that the Outlets are easily and safely accessible. 

Make sure the Inverter is in the OFF position.

2.  To connect the Cable Ring Terminals to the 

(Positive) red and (Negative) black Power 

Terminals on the back of the Inverter:
a.  Unthread the knobs covering the Power Terminals. 
b.  Slide the red Cable’s Ring Terminal over 

the post of the red Power Terminal and 

the black Cable’s Ring Terminal over the 

post of the black Power Terminal.

c.  Replace the knobs and tighten securely.

3.  Apply the parking brake to the vehicle connected 

to the battery. Place the transmission in “Park” 

for an automatic transmission, or in “Neutral” for 

a manual transmission. Start the car engine.

4.  Attach the red Cable’s Alligator Clip to the 

Positive (red) terminal on the battery, then 

attach the black Cable’s Alligator Clip to a clean 

unpainted metal part of the chassis. (Note: If 

connecting to a battery not installed in a vehicle, 

connect to the Negative (black) terminal.)

5.  The red Fault LED will light up momentarily and 

the alarm will sound as the Inverter draws power. 

Then the alarm and red LED will turn off and the 

green Power LED of the Inverter will light up. 

note:

 If the green LED fails to light and the alarm 

and red Fault LED lights up instead, check the 

Troubleshooting Tips section near the end of this 

manual to correct the issue before continuing.

6.  To power each device or appliance:

a.  With the device or appliance switched off, 

plug it into one of the Power Outlets or 

the USB Outlet on the Power Inverter. 

b.  Turn on the device and/or appliance. 

7.  After use, turn all connected devices or appliances 

off, unplug them, then turn off the car engine if it is 

running. Keep the inverter turned on and remove 

the alligator clips from the battery posts, removing 

the Negative (black) clip first, then the Positive (red) 

clip. The Inverter green LED will turn off, and the 

alarm and red LED light will turn on as the Inverter 

powers down. Turn off the Inverter power button.
