Lithium-ion Battery Safety
DANGER
Electrolyte inside the battery is harmful to skin and eyes.
Electrolyte may pose an increased risk of harm if not handled
properly.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If the battery leaks and electrolyte gets in your
eyes, do not rub them, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical help. If left
untreated, electrolyte can cause permanent eye injury. Keep
away from children.
DANGER
This Power Station generates the same potential lethal AC
electrical voltage as a standard building wall outlet.
Always treat the Power Station as you would a normal AC
outlet on a standard building wall.
WARNING
When using the Power Station:
–Always use in a dry well ventilated area while in use and
do not obstruct fan openings on unit. Inadequate ventilation
may cause execessive heat and damage the unit.
–Always keep the unit clean and dry and inspect for dirt,
dust, or moisture prior to every use.
–Power cord plugs must always match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
–Connect only to properly grounded outlets.
–To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord,
pull the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the
Power Station. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the tool.
–Do not use this Power Station if the power cord or the
battery cables are damaged in any way.
–Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
–Always keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
–Always position cords carefully to avoid hazardous
conditions. Tripping or snagging on cords can cause
injury or cause product damage. Never allow cords to run
through puddles or across wet ground.
–Use of an accessory attachment not recommended or sold
by Champion Power Equipment may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
–To reduce the risk of electric shock always unplug the
cord from outlet when not in use and before servicing or
cleaning.
–Do not insert foreign objects into outputs or ventilation
holes.
