EXCLUSIONS FROM 90 DAY, LIMITED ONE YEAR AND TWO YEAR WARRANTY
Warrantor shall have no responsibility under this warranty for any wear components, including, but not limited to: belts,
blade guides, blades, electric motor brushes, drum switches, filters, fuses, hoses, bearings (excluding cylindrical drive
bearings), bushings, cable carriers, and spark plugs. All wear components are furnished “as is”, without any warranty
from Warrantor. This limited warranty does not cover any defects caused by misuse, negligence, alterations, damage
due to overload, abnormal conditions, excessive operation, accident, or lack of performance of normal maintenance
services.
Several components which are used in the manufacture of the equipment but not manufactured by Warrantor, such as
cant hooks, power plants, laser sights, batteries, tires, and trailer axles have warranties provided by the original equip-
ment manufacturer (written copies available upon request). Warrantor does not separately warrant such items. Com-
ponents or equipment manufactured by third parties are not covered by this warranty. Warrantor, however, will provide
reasonable assistance to the Purchaser to make claims against any warranties applicable to such component parts as
provided by such original equipment manufacturers. Components or equipment manufactured by third parties are not
covered by this Warranty.
FIVE YEAR LIMITED CHASSIS WARRANTY
The limited five year chassis warranty, described above, DOES NOT extend to (a) any damage stemming from acci-
dent, improper towing, overload, abuse, misuse, abnormal conditions, negligence, excessive operation, or lack of
maintenance, (b) rust caused by exposure to corrosive atmospheric conditions, or (c) the sawmill head, carriage, axle,
brakes, or any hydraulic or electrical components attached to the chassis.
WARRANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS AS TO DEFECTS
In the event that the equipment fails to perform due to defective materials or workmanship attributable to Warrantor
under normal use and service within the established warranty period, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy and War-
rantor’s sole liability shall be to replace or repair, in Warrantor’s sole and subjective discretion, any defective part at
Warrantor’s principal place of business without cost to the Purchaser if such defect exists. The determination of
whether a product is defective shall be made by Warrantor in Warrantor’s sole and subjective discretion. The Pur-
chaser must notify Warrantor prior to shipping any defective part. Warrantor, at its sole discretion, may cover expenses
incurred in shipping the defective part to Warrantor for evaluation; provided, however, that Warrantor will not be
responsible for labor, travel time, mileage, removal, installation, and/or incidental or consequential damages. However,
any part in excess of 140 pounds must be returned by the Purchaser to the Warrantor’s nearest authorized facility at
the Purchaser’s expense, if return is requested by Warrantor. Warrantor shall have a reasonable time within which to
repair or replace the defective part. If Warrantor determines that the product is not defective under the terms of this
warranty in Warrantor’s sole and subjective discretion, then Purchaser shall be responsible for any expenses incurred
by Warrantor in returning the equipment to the Purchaser.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY PROVISIONS STATED ABOVE, WARRANTOR DISCLAIMS ALL WAR-
RANTIES, EXPRESS AND/OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING AND WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND TITLE. No
representation or other affirmation of fact by representatives of Warrantor, whether verbal or in writing, including photo-
graphs, brochures, samples, models, or other sales aids, shall constitute a warranty, or any other basis, for any legal
action against Warrantor. There are no other representations, promises, agreements, covenants, warranties, guaran-
tees, stipulations or conditions, expressed or implied, by Warrantor, except as expressly set forth herein. THE PUR-
CHASER AND ANY INTENDED USER OR BENEFICIARY OF THIS EQUIPMENT, SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO
RECOVER ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTIAL
DAMAGES OR LOSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES OF LOST PRODUCTION, LOST REVE-
NUE, LOST PRODUCT, LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION, FROM WARRANTOR FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTY OR DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT REGARDLESS OF THE SOLE, JOINT, AND/OR CONCURRENT
NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR STATUTORY
CLAIMS, OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT, OR RESPONSIBILITY OF EITHER WARRANTOR OR PURCHASER OR ITS
EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS. Warrantor does not warrant that its equipment meets or complies with the requirements of

DESIGN CHANGES
Warrantor reserves the right to change the design of its products from time to time without notice and without obligation
to make corresponding changes in or to its products previously manufactured.
RIGHTS OF PURCHASERS
The validity and effect of this limited warranty, as well as its interpretation, operation and effect, shall be determined
exclusively by the principles of law and equity of the State of Indiana, USA. This limited warranty gives Purchaser spe-
cific legal rights. Purchaser may also have other rights, which may vary from state to state. Some states may not allow
limitations as to the duration of implied warranties or to the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential dam-
ages, therefore some of the limitations and exclusions detailed set forth above may not apply. In the event that any one
or more of the provisions of this warranty shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the valid-
ity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this warranty shall not be affected thereby.
INTERPRETATIONS
This Warranty constitutes the entire warranty agreement between Warrantor and Purchaser and supersedes any prior
understandings or agreements pertaining to the same subject matter. This warranty cannot be amended, except in writing,
which refers to this warranty that is signed by both Warrantor and Purchaser.

CAUTION! Do not overcharge the battery. Overcharging may reduce the over-
all service life of the battery.
CAUTION! Be sure the battery is fully charged before transporting the saw-
mill. If the battery is not fully charged, excessive vibration could reduce the
overall service life of the battery.
CAUTIONS FOR SAWMILL SETUP
WARNING! Do not set up the mill on ground with more than a 10 degree
incline. 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. Setting up the mill on an
incline could cause it to tip over, resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING! The sawmill weighs 1100 lbs. The center of gravity of the carriage
is off-center toward the operator side. The higher the saw head from the bed
frame, the more easily the mill can be tipped toward the operator side. A mini-
mum of three people (four recommended) is required to safely load or unload
the sawmill from a pickup truck.
WARNING! Keep all persons out of the area between the frame rails while
loading and unloading the sawmill. Failure to follow this may result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING! Because the sawmill can easily rotate and tip over when lifted, do
not lift the sawmill using a ropes, cables or chains, etc. Doing so may result in
machine damage, serious injury or death.

uge emergency shower, if available, shower for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing, including shoes. If symptoms persist, seek medical
