5.11 Charging The Battery (DC Only)
DANGER! Batteries expel explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames,
burning cigarettes, or other ignition sources away at all times. Always
wear safety goggles and a face shield when working near batteries.
Failure to do so will cause serious injury.

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Charge the battery in a well ventilated area. Do not
attempt to charge a frozen battery.
Use extreme care to avoid spilling or splashing electrolyte (which is
dilute sulfuric acid) as it can destroy clothing and burn the skin.
If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on clothing or the body, it should be
neutralized immediately and then rinsed with clean water. A solution of
baking soda, or household ammonia, and water may be used as a
neutralizer.
Electrolyte splashed into the eyes is extremely dangerous. If this
should happen, force the eye open and flood it with cool, clean water
for approximately fifteen minutes. A doctor should be called
immediately when the accident occurs and “on-the-spot” medical
attention given if possible. If a doctor cannot come to the scene of the
accident immediately, follow his instructions concerning actions to
take. Do not add eye drops or other medication unless advised to do
so by the doctor. Do not place a battery or acid within the reach of
children. If acid (electrolyte) is taken internally drink large quantities of
water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable
oil. Call a physician immediately.
If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on any surface of the machine,
it should be neutralized and rinsed with clean water.
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 connect a battery charger or
jumper cables to raise the saw head from the towing position so the
battery box lid can be removed. See 6.8
for instructions concerning the
fuse terminal extension stud.
