DeWalt DXAEPI140 Instruction Manual page 5

• Disconnect appliance plug from inverter outlet before working on
the appliance.
• Do not attempt to connect or set up the inverter or its components
while operating your vehicle. Not paying attention to the road may
result in a serious accident.
• Always use the inverter where there is adequate ventilation. Do not
block ventilation slots.
• Always turn the inverter off by disconnecting it from the power source
when not in use.
• Make sure the nominal powering voltage is 12 volts DC.
• Do not use with positive ground electrical systems.* Reverse polarity
connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent
damage to the inverter and will void warranty.
*The majority of modern automobiles, RVs and trucks are negative
ground.
• Keep in mind that this inverter will not operate high wattage appliances
or equipment that produces heat, such as coffee makers, hair dryers,
microwave ovens and toasters.
• Do not open the inverter — there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Opening the inverter will void manufacturer's warranty.
• Do not use this inverter with medical devices. It is not tested for
medical applications.
• Install and operate inverter only as described in this Instruction
Manual.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of property damage:
• The Power Inverter must be connected only to batteries with
a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate
from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if
connected to a 24 volt battery.

• Always connect the inverter to the 12 volt DC power source before
plugging any devices into the unit.
• The standard North American 120 volt AC and USB outlets
allow simultaneous operation of multiple devices. Simply plug the
equipment into the unit and operate normally.
• Ensure that the wattage of all equipment simultaneously plugged into
the inverter does not exceed 140 watts for 20 minutes, 120 watts
for 60 minutes and 100 watts continuous or the unit may overheat
and shut down.
CAUTION – Rechargeable devices
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging
them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the
inverter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the
initial ten minutes of use to determine if it produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not
be used with this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated
equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.
CAUTION – Incompatible products: Certain products contain power
supplies or circuits that are not compatible with an inverter using a
modified sine wave output (such as this inverter) and may be damaged
by using this inverter.
If your product requires pure sine wave AC input power to function
properly, the instruction manual for your product could state this. If in
doubt, you should contact your product manufacturer PRIOR TO USE.
