1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight line with
your cutting line. Tilt the saw forward, fi rmly fi x-
ing the front of the shoe on the workpiece. The
blade should be just above cutting line, but not
touching it. Raise the lower guard using the lower
guard lever.
2. Pull the trigger, allowing the blade to come up
to full speed. Using the front of the shoe as a
hinge point, gradually lower the back end of the
saw into the workpiece.
3. When the shoe rests fl at against workpiece, re-
lease the lower guard lever. Advance the saw to
the far corner. Release the trigger and allow the
blade to come to a complete stop before remov-
ing it from workpiece. Repeat the above steps for
each side of the opening. Use a Sawzall
®
recipro-
cating saw, jig saw or small hand saw to fi nish the
corners if they are not completely cut through.
When cutting masonry, use a diamond blade. Make
successive passes at depths of less than 1/4" to
achieve the desired depth. Cutting at a depth of
more than 1/4" will damage wheel. Unplug the tool
and frequently clean dust from air vents and guards.
When cutting metal, use a metal cutting blade. Set
depth of cut to full depth. Protect everyone in the
area from sparks.
WARNING Dust, chips, and grit can
cause guard to hang up at any time. If saw
is used to cut masonry or metal, reserve and
mark it for that purpose only and return it to
a MILWAUKEE service facility for cleaning
and testing before using it for wood cutting.
WARNING Only use accessories with
maximum speed rating at least as high as
nameplate RPM of tool.
WARNING Do not use tool for cutting
metal near fl ammable material. Sparks may
cause fi re.
Cutting Masonry and Metal
MILWAUKEE circular saws are not intended for
continuous use in cutting metal or masonry. When
cutting these materials, use the correct blade. MIL-
WAUKEE does not recommend using bonded abra-
sive wheels on circular saws for any application.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the tool before attaching or
removing accessories. Use only specifi cally
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug your tool before performing
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool
or try to do any rewiring on the tool’s electrical
system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility
for ALL repairs.
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the tool.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the
general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for dam-
age. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding
of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts
and any other condition that may affect its safe oper-
ation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the
tool off immediately and have the problem corrected
before further use. Do not use a damaged tool.
Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired
(see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your
tool since certain cleaning agents and solvents
are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts.
Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
