GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury. Save

all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warn-

ings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

WORK AREA SAFETY

dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁ ed plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or medi- cation. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with

your ﬁ nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BA TTER Y T OOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally desig- nated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a ﬁ re.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Cutting procedures

DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting

• area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both

hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade

teeth should be visible below the workpiece.

• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the

work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and

reduces the chance of blade binding.

• Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades

that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially

designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Further safety instructions for all saws Kickback causes and related warnings

– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,

bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the

kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in

the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back

toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a ﬁ rm grip with both hands on the

saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback

could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

• When blade is binding, or when interrupting

a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre

the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw

blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

• Support large panels to minimise the risk of

blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend

to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharp-

ened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making cut. If

blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

• Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Lower guard function

• Check lower guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower

guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

• Check the operation of the lower guard spring.

If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.

Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

• Lower guard should be retracted manually

only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by

retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

bench or ﬂ oor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,

9 contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

• WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-

cially designed to ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

tery.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

To remove the battery, push in the release buttons

and pull the battery pack away from the tool. To insert the battery, slide the pack into the body of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.

WARNING Always remove battery

pack before changing or removing accessories. Only use accessories specifically recommended for this tool. Others may be

hazardous.

Selecting Blade

Select a blade appropriate for your application. Refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of blades to be used for the proper applications of this tool. Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and increase the chance of KICKBACK. Only use thin kerf blades with a maximum safe operating speed greater than the no load RPM marked on the tool’s nameplate. Read the blade manufacturer’s instructions before use. Do not use any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or dry diamond cutting blades. Use the correct blade type for your application. Using the wrong blade may result in reduced performance or damage to the blade. Do not use blades that are cracked or have broken teeth. Do not sharpen ferrous metal cutting blades; see the blade manufacturer’s recommendations regarding sharpening.

Checking the Operation of the Lower Guard

Check the operation and condition of the lower guard lever. If the guard and the lever are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.

1. Remove battery pack before checking the lower guard.

2. Place the tool on its side.

NOTE: This procedure will not show proper lower

guard operation if the tool is not on its side.

3. Grasp the lower guard by the sides and push it all the way back into the blade housing.

4. Release the lower guard.

• If the guard immediately springs back into place,

it is working correctly and you may continue with use.

• If the guard does not immediate spring back

into place, clean the upper and lower guards to remove all chips and debris. Then, check

the operation again by starting with step 1.

• If the guard still does not immediately spring

back into place, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

1. Remove battery pack before installing or

removing blades.

2. Place the saw on a ﬂ at surface with the blade fac- ing upwards. T o remove the bolt from the spindle, push in the spindle lock button. While holding in the spindle lock button, use the wrench provided with the tool to turn the bolt counterclockwise. Remove the bolt and blade ﬂ ange.

3. Slide the lower guard lever up to raise the lower guard. Remove the blade from the spindle. Always clean the spindle, upper guard and lower guard to remove any dirt and sawdust.

WARNING T o reduce the risk of injury ,

keep hands away from the blade and other moving parts. Always wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Use only speciﬁ - cally recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

Kickback causes and related warnings

– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,

bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the

kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback

could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

• When blade is binding, or when interrupting

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre

the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw

blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

• Support large panels to minimise the risk of

blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend

to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

• Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

General Operation

Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw horse or bench. See “APPLICATIONS” for the correct way to support your work in different situations.

1. Draw a cutting line. Place the front of the shoe on

the edge of the workpiece without making blade contact. Hold the handle with one hand and the front handle with the other (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6

2. Line up the sight line with your cutting line. Posi-

tion your arms and body to resist KICKBACK.

3. To start the saw, push the lock-off button down

while pulling the trigger. Allow the motor to reach full speed before beginning cut.

4. While cutting, keep the shoe ﬂ at against the

workpiece and maintain a ﬁ rm grip. Do not force the saw through the workpiece. Forcing a saw can cause KICKBACK.

5. If making a partial cut, restarting in mid-cut or

correcting direction, allow the blade to come to a complete stop. To resume cutting, center the blade in the kerf, back the saw away from cutting edge a few inches, push the lock-off button down while pulling the trigger and re-enter the cut slowly.

6. If the saw binds and stalls, maintain a ﬁ rm grip

and release the trigger immediately. Hold the saw motionless in the workpiece until the blade comes to a complete stop.

7. After ﬁ nishing a cut, be sure the lower guard

closes and the blade comes to a complete stop before setting the saw down.

Electric Brake

The electric brake engages when the trigger is released, causing the blade to stop and allowing you to proceed with your work. Generally, the saw blade stops within two seconds. However, there may be a delay between the time you release the trigger and when the brake engages. Occasionally the brake may miss completely. If the brake misses frequently, the saw needs servicing by an authorized MILWAUKEE service facility . The brake is not a substitute for the guard, and you must always wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the saw from the workpiece.

Troubleshooting

If the blade does not follow a straight line:

• Teeth are dull. This is caused by hitting a hard object such as a nail or stone, dulling teeth on one side. The blade tends to cut to the side with the sharpest teeth.

• Shoe is out of line or bent

• Blade is bent

• Rip fence or guide is not being used

If the blade binds, smokes or turns blue from friction:

• Blade is dull

• Blade is on backwards

• Blade is bent

• Blade is dirty

• Workpiece is not properly supported

• Incorrect blade is being used

• Battery charge is low

APPLICATIONS

Cutting Large Panels

Large panels and long boards sag or bend if they are not correctly supported. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the workpiece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICKBACK. Support large panels (Fig. 7). Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you only cut through the workpiece, not through the supports.

Fig. 7

Cross-Cutting Wood

Cross-cutting is cutting across the grain. Select the proper blade for your job. Advance the saw slowly to avoid splintering the wood.

Ripping Wood

Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain. Select the proper blade for your job. Use a rip fence for rips 4" wide or less. To install the rip fence, slide the bar through the rip fence slot in either side of the shoe. The width of the cut is the distance from the inside of the blade to the inside edge of the rip fence. Adjust the rip fence for the desired width, and lock the setting by tightening the rip fence adjusting knob. When ripping widths greater than 4", clamp or tack 1/2" lumber to workpiece and use the edge of the shoe as a guide.

WARNING T o reduce the risk of electric

shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before making plunge cuts.

Plunge Cutting

Plunge cuts are made in the middle of the workpiece when it can not be cut from an edge. We recommend using a Sawzall® reciprocating saw or jig saw for this type of cut. However, if you must use a circular saw to make a plunge cut, USE EXTREME CAUTION. To maintain control of the saw during plunge cutting, keep both hands on the saw.

1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight line with your cutting line. Tilt the saw forward, ﬁ rmly ﬁ xing the front of the shoe on the workpiece (Fig. 8). The blade should be just above cutting line, but not touching it. Raise the lower guard using the lower guard lever.

Fig. 8

2. To start the saw, push the lock-off button down while pulling the trigger. Allow the motor to reach full speed before beginning cut. Using the front of the shoe as a hinge point, gradually lower the back end of the saw into the workpiece. Release the lower guard lever and grasp the front handle.

3. When the shoe rests ﬂ at against workpiece, advance the saw to the far corner (Fig. 9). Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing it from workpiece. Repeat the above steps for each side of the opening. Use a Sawzall jig saw or small hand saw to ﬁ nish the corners

if they are not completely cut through.

Overloading

Continuous overloading may cause permanent damage to tool or battery pack.

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 abrasive wheels on circular saws for any application.

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.

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. Remove battery pack and frequently clean dust from air vents and guards.

WARNING Do not use tool for cutting

metal near ﬂ ammable material. Sparks may cause ﬁ re.

When cutting metal, use a metal cutting blade. Set depth of cut to full depth. Protect everyone in the area from sparks.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING T o reduce the risk of injury ,

always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES RELATIVES AUX

OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES

A VER TISSEMENT LIRE TOUTES LES RÈGLES ET INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ.

Ne pas suivre l’ensemble des règles et instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un incendie ou des blessures graves. Conserver les règles et les instructions à des ﬁ ns de ré-

férence ultérieure. Le terme «outil électrique» ﬁ gurant dans les avertissements ci-dessous

renvoie à l’outil électrique à alimentation par le réseau (à cordon) ou par batterie (sans ﬁ l).

SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRA VAIL

• Maintenir la zone de travail propre et bien

éclairée. Les zones encombrées ou mal éclairées

sont favorables aux accidents.

• Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique dans une atmosphère explosive, telle qu’en en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inﬂ am- mables. Les outils électriques génèrent des

étincelles qui peuvent enﬂ ammer les poussières ou les fumées.

• Tenir les enfants et les personnes non autorisées à l’écart pendant le fonctionnement d’un outil électrique. Un manque d’attention de

l’opérateur risque de lui faire perdre le contrôle de l’outil.

SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE

• La ﬁ che de l’outil électrique doit correspondre à la prise d’alimentation. Ne jamais modiﬁ er la ﬁ che d’une manière quelconque. Ne pas utiliser d’adaptateur avec les outils électriques mis à la terre (à la masse). Des ﬁ ches non modiﬁ ées

et des prises d’alimentation assorties réduisent le risque de choc électrique.

• Éviter tout contact corporel avec des surfaces reliées à la masse ou à la terre telles que tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Un risque de choc électrique plus élevé

existe si le corps est relié à la masse ou à la terre.

• Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. Le risque de choc électrique aug-

mente si de l’eau s’inﬁ ltre dans un outil électrique.

• Prendre soin du cordon. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher l’outil électrique. Tenir le cordon à l’écart de la chaleur, des huiles, des arêtes coupantes ou des pièces en mouvement. Un cordon endom-

magé ou emmêlé présente un risque accru de choc électrique.

• Se procurer un cordon d’alimentation approprié en cas d’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur. L’utilisation d’un cordon d’alimentation

pour usage extérieur réduit le risque de choc électrique.

• S’il est nécessaire d’utiliser l’outil électrique dans un endroit humide, installer un disjoncteur différentiel (GFCI). L’utilisation d’un GFCI

réduit le risque de décharge électrique.

SÉCURITÉ INDIVIDUELLE

• Être sur ses gardes, être attentif et faire preuve de bon sens en utilisant un outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous l’inﬂ uence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un instant d’inattention lors

de l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures graves.

• Porter l’équipement de protection requis.

Toujours porter une protection oculaire. Selon

les conditions, porter aussi un masque antipoussières, des bottes de sécurité antidérapantes, un casque protecteur ou une protection auditive aﬁ n de réduire les blessures.

• Empêcher les démarrages accidentels. S’assurer que la gâchette est en position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’outil à une source de courant, d’insérer la batterie, de le ramasser ou de le transporter. Le fait de transporter

l’outil en gardant le doigt sur la gâchette ou de le brancher lorsque la gâchette est en position de marche favorise les accidents.

• Retirer toute clé de réglage avant de mettre l’outil sous tension. Une clé laissée attachée sur

une pièce mobile de l’outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures.

• Ne pas travailler à bout de bras. Bien garder un bon équilibre à tout instant. Ceci permet de

mieux préserver la maîtrise de l’outil électrique dans des situations imprévues.

• Porter des vêtements adéquats. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Ne pas approcher les cheveux, vêtements et gants des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements amples,

les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent d’être happés par les pièces en mouvement.

• Si des dispositifs sont prévus pour l’extraction et la récupération des poussières, vérifier qu’ils sont connectés et utilisés correctement.

L’utilisation de ces dispositifs peut réduire les risques liés aux poussières.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN

DE L’OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE

• Ne pas forcer l’outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil électrique approprié à l’application considérée.

L’outil électrique adapté au projet considéré produira de meilleurs résultats, dans des conditions de sécurité meilleures, à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.

• Ne pas utiliser l’outil électrique si le commutateur ne le met pas sous ou hors tension. Tout

outil électrique dont le commutateur de marchearrêt est inopérant est dangereux et doit être réparé.

• Débrancher la ﬁ che de la prise d’alimentation et/ou la batterie de l’outil électrique avant d’effectuer des réglages, de changer d’accessoires ou de ranger l’outil. De telles

mesures de sécurité préventive réduisent le risque de mettre l’outil en marche accidentellement.
