IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
The power source must able to supply the necessary current to operate the load. The
GreenWorks 29652, 29662, 2907002 model battery pack is the only DC source, cannot connect
to other DC source.
WARNING:
Keep ventilation when using batteries.
Cannot mount the power inverter on other position, can just install on the GreenWorks battery pack.
CONNECTION TO LOAD
The inverter is equipped with North America AC power receptacle. Plug the cord from the
equipment you wish to operate into the AC receptacle. The green LED indicator lights to indicate
that the inverter is functioning. Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment
does not exceed inverter’s output rating.
The inverter is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic
equipment in the manner described above.
Do not connect the power inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring.
Do not connect the power inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is
connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on at surface, such as the ground, car
oor, or other solid surface. The inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following
criteria:
DRY- Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the power inverter.
COOL – Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment which is
generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight, if at all
possible.
SAFE – Do not use the inverter near ammable materials or in any locations that may
accumulate ammable fumes of gases.

PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER
Your inverter monitors the following potentially hazardous conditions:
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION – If the temperature inside the inverter is too high, the
unit will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting
after a heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling.
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION - This condition is not harmful to the inverter but
could damage the power source. The inverter automatically shuts down when input voltage drops
to 29.5 volts. When the condition is corrected, the unit may be restarted.
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION – The inverter will automatically shut down when the input
voltage exceeds 43 volts DC.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION – The inverter will automatically shut down when the continuous
draw exceeds rated watts.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION – The inverter will shut down. Remove the short circuit and
restart the inverter after 5 minutes.

WORKING PRINCIPLES
HOW YOUR INVERTER WORKS
The inverter converts low voltage DC (Direct Current) from a Greenworks 40V lithium battery to
standard 115 volt AC (Alternating Current) household power.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The inverter converts power in two stages.
• The rst stage is a DC to DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter
input to high volts DC.
• The second stage is the actual inverter stage that converts the high voltage DC into AC.
The DC-to-DC converter stage uses modern high frequency power conversion techniques
that have replaced the bulky transformers found in less technologically-advanced models. The
inverter stage uses advanced power MOSFET transistors in a full bridge conguration.
THE OUTPUT WAVEFORM
The AC output waveform of the 9300000-series inverter is known as “modied sine wave”. It is
a waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of
waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in
electronic equipment, transformers, and motors. (See Figure 1).
The modied sine wave produced by the 9300000-series inverter has an RMS (root mean
square) voltage of 115 volts, which is the same as standard household power. Most AC
voltmeters (both digital and analog) are sensitive to the average value of the waveform rather
than the RMS value. They are calibrated for RMS voltage under the assumption that the
waveform measured will be a pure sine wave. These meters will not read the RMS voltage of a
modied sine wave correctly. They will read about 20 to 30 volts low when measuring the output
of the inverter. For accurate measurement of the output voltage of this unit, use a true RMS
reading voltmeter.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Some AC appliances
won’t start.
The power needed
to start some AC
appliances may be as
much as 2 to 8 times
its continuous wattage
requirements.
Read the information panel on each AC ap-
pliance carefully to accurately determine the
tool’s input wattage.
“BUZZING” sound in
audio systems.
The power supply in
the electronic device
does not adequately
lter the modied sine
wave produced by the
inverter.
Use a higher quality sound system that
incorporates a higher quality power amplied
supply.
Television interference.
The inverter is shielded
to minimize interfer-
ence with TV signals.
The problem may not
be with the inverter.
However, in some
instances, some inter-
ference may still be
visible, particularly with
weak TV signals.
Position the inverter as far as possible from
the television, the antenna and the antenna
cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.
Adjust the orientation of the inverter, the
antenna cables and the TV power cord to
minimize interference.
Make sure that the antenna feeding the
television provides an adequate (“snow free”)
signal and that high quality, shielded antenna
cable is used.
Do not operate high-power appliances or
tools when you are watching TV.
