Battery Safety
Batteries expel explosive gases; keep sparks, flames, burning cigarettes, or other ignition sources
away at all times.
Wear safety goggles and a face shield when working near batteries.
Wash hands after handling batteries to remove possible lead, acid, or other contaminants.
Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery.
NOTICE When working with batteries, do not spill or splash electrolyte (dilute sulfuric acid) as it is a
strong corrosive.
Overcharging may reduce the overall service life of the battery.
Ensure 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.
Sawmill Setup Safety
Do not set up the mill on ground with more than a 10 degree incline. Setting up the mill on an incline
could cause it to tip over.
If setup on an incline is necessary, put blocks under one side of the mill or dig out areas for the legs to
keep mill level.
Use a lifting device (fork lift, crane, etc.) for parts over 100 lbs.
Use two persons for lifting parts over 50lbs.

Keep all non-essential personnel out of the area while setting up the sawmill.
