CAUTION! Do not overcharge the battery. Overcharging
may reduce the overall service life of the battery.
CAUTION! Be sure the battery is fully charged before
transporting the sawmill. If the battery is not fully charged,
excessive vibration could reduce the overall service life of
the battery.
NOTE: A fuse terminal extension stud is provided in the
fuse box. The extension may be used to temporarily con-
nect a battery charger or jumper cables to raise the saw
head from the towing position so the battery box lid can be
removed. See Section 6.8
for instructions concerning the
fuse terminal extension stud.
1. Raise the saw head to access the battery box.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to overcharge the battery,
especially when using a high-rate or “boost” charger (40
amps or higher). These are intended to quickly charge a
good battery that is discharged. They are not intended for
unattended or long-term charging.
2. After the battery is completely recharged, remove the negative charger/jumper cable from
ground.
3. Remove the positive charger/jumper cable from the battery.
4. Replace the battery box lid and replace the flat washers and nuts.
