• Read all the instructions before using the product.
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children.
• Do not put fingers or hands into the product.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by power pack (inverter) manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the power pack (inverter).
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
• Do not operate the power pack (inverter) with a damaged cord or plug, or a damaged output cable.
• Do not disassemble the power pack (inverter), take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the power pack (inverter) form the outlet before attempting any instructed servicing.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

• To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of the equipment you  intend to use in vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary marking on these products.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery.
• Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
• When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict ventilation in any way.
• 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.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
• Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately
• Do not expose a power pack (inverter) to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F (130°) may cause explosion.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference

• Risk of fire and electric shock. Dry location use only. Do not expose the power inverter to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the power inverter  will increase the risk of electric shock.
• For household use only.
• Do not allow the power inverter to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• The power inverter is not intended for any use other than charging small USB electronics or small AC devices specified in SPECIFICATIONS in  this manual. Any other use may result in damage.
• Do not put fingers or hands into the power inverter.
• Switch off the power inverter when not in use.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the power inverter. Carrying the power inverter with your finger on the switch or energizing power inverter that has the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the power inverter before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power inverter. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power inverter accidentally.
• 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 power inverter only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:

USING WITH EXTERNAL DEVICES
When a charged battery pack is installed, the power inverter converts DC electricity to 120V AC household power and/or USB-A (5/9/12V, up to 18 W)  or USB-C output port 1 (5/9/12/15/20V, up to 18 W) or USB-C input/output port 2 (5/9/12/15/20V, up to 100 W) supply power, allowing the user to  charge and power a variety of devices.
Additionally the power inverter can charge the EGO battery when a USB PD charger is connected to the USB-C  input/output port 2 (5/9/12/15/20V, up to 100 W).

NOTE: The inverter may not be compatible for use with some USB PD chargers.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. When using a grounded appliance, the product will not provide an electrical path to earth ground. Do not power devices with damaged or frayed power cords.
WARNING: To avoid a risk of electric shock, do not insert a nail, wire, etc. into the AC output port.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock and risk of fire. This device is not to be stored or kept in a vehicle.

1. Insert a battery pack into the power inverter.
2. Press and hold the power button for more than half a second to turn the inverter ON. The LED in the power button will illuminate green when the inverter is ready to use.
3. Plug devices you want to power or charge into the power inverter’s USB ports and/or 120 volt AC output port. The power inverter will begin charging/powering the devices automatically.
4. Or plug compatible USB PD charger into the inverter’s USB-C input/output port 2 to charge the EGO battery installed on the inverter, then plug  the other end of the charger into household outlet.
