STOW CUTTER 3 CE SAW — INSPECTION
When servicing of the battery is required perform the following:
z
A face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while
handling and servicing battery's electrolyte.
z
Disconnect battery terminal clamps, and remove the battery
from the saw when servicing is required.
z
DO NOT overfill the battery.
Electrolyte is an acid and must be handled
with caution. Servicing instructions from the
electrolyte manufacturer must ALWAYS be
followed to ensure safety. Serious injury can
result from careless handling and
noncompliance to safety handling instructions.
Overfilling the battery may cause the
electrolyte to overflow resulting in corrosion
to nearby components. Immediately wash
off any spilled electrolyte (battery acid).
Additionally, when connecting the positive
(+) cable to the battery's positive (+)
terminal post, DO NOT allow contact of the wrench or any
metallic part to come in contact with the battery's negative
(-) terminal post. This may result in an electrical short circuit
or an explosion.
Use only
distilled
water in the
battery. Tap water can
