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 Warrantor’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 Purchaser 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 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 replace or repair 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.

HANDLE FUEL/LUBRICANTS SAFELY
DANGER! Due to the flammable nature of fuel and oil, never
smoke, weld, grind or allow sparks near your engine or storage
tanks, especially during times of fueling.
DANGER! Never allow fuel to spill on a hot engine during fueling
operations or otherwise. The hot temperature of your engine could
induce a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Store gasoline away from sawdust and other flamma-
ble materials. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Use ONLY water and Wood-Mizer Lube Additive with
the water lube accessory. Never use flammable fuels or liquids
such as diesel fuel. If these types of liquids are necessary to clean
the blade, remove it and clean with a rag. Failure to do so can
damage the equipment and may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Drum switch grease contains Petroleum Hydrocarbon
Lubricant. Eye and skin irritant. If introduced into eyes, flush with
water for at least 15 minutes. If film or irritation persists, seek med-
ical attention. Wash skin with soap and water. If ingested, do not
induce vomiting - contact a physician. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF SAWING BY-PRODUCTS PROPERLY
IMPORTANT! Always properly dispose of all sawing by-products,
including sawdust and other debris, coolant, oil, fuel, oil filters and
fuel filters.

USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES
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. 1
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain 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.

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 outrigger legs to keep
mill level. Setting up the mill on an incline could cause it to tip over,
resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING! Chock the trailer wheels to prevent movement before
unhitching it from the towing vehicle. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING! Put front outrigger down before moving saw head from
the rest position. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always make sure the trailer is supporting the sawmill
frame when operating a sawmill with adjustable outriggers. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death. The adjustable out-
riggers are intended to support the saw frame with assistance from
the trailer.
WARNING! The adjustable outriggers supplied with portable saw-
mills are not intended for setup on concrete or other hard surfaces.
Long-term use of the adjustable outriggers on hard surfaces may
cause the outriggers to fail, causing the sawmill to drop. This could
result in possible serious injury or death.
If setting the sawmill up on concrete or other hard surface, replace
the adjustable outrgger legs with stationary legs.
WARNING! Securely fasten the feet of a stationary sawmill to the
floor before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.

CHECK SAWMILL BEFORE OPERATION
DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and
secured before operating or towing the sawmill. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury.
Be sure the blade housing and pulley covers are in place and
secure. Use the safety retainer pin and cable to fasten blade hous-
ing covers.
