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, 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of 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. Unmodied 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 inter-
rupter (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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 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 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 bal-
ance 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, jewellery
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 preventive 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.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
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
2
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 sur-
faces only, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. 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 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. Unsharpened
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 bench or
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,
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 lter out microscopic particles.

GROUNDING
WARNING Improperly connecting the
grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualied electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the tool. Never remove the grounding
prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not t the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
Grounded Tools:
Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the
cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's
grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet, properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. The plug and
outlet should look like those
in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satises OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Association and the National Electrical Code. Double Insulated
tools may be used in either of
the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures B and C.
Fig. A
Fig. B Fig. C
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than
one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors,
be sure it is marked with the sufx “W-A” (“W”
in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for
outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by
a qualied person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

ASSEMBLY
Selecting Blade
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before changing or removing accessories. Only use accessories speci-
cally recommended for this tool. Others may
be hazardous.
WARNING Only use accessories with
maximum speed rating at least as high as
nameplate RPM of tool.
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 KICK-
BACK. 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.

Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
1. Unplug tool 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.

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 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.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments. Use
only specically recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
WARNING To reduce the risk of in-
jury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
• 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

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
General Operation
Always clamp workpiece securely on a saw horse
or bench. See “Applications” for the correct way to
support your work in different situations. A typical
application is shown below.
1. Draw cutting line. Place front of shoe on edge of
workpiece without making blade contact. Hold
switch handle with one hand and top handle with
the other.

2. Line up sighting notch with your cutting line.
Position arms and body to resist kickback. Pull
trigger, allowing motor to reach full speed before
beginning cut.
3. While cutting, keep shoe at against workpiece
and maintain a firm grip. Do not force saw
through the work. Forcing a saw can cause
kickback.
4. If making a partial cut, restarting in mid-cut or
correcting direction, allow blade to come to a
complete stop. To resume cutting, center blade
in kerf, back saw away from cutting edge a few
inches, pull trigger and re-enter cut slowly.
5. If saw stalls, maintain a rm grip and release
trigger immediately. Correct problem before
continuing (see “Preventing Kickback”).
6. After nishing a cut, be sure lower guard closes
and blade comes to a complete stop before setting down saw.
Troubleshooting
If blade does not want to follow straight line:
• Teeth are dull on one side. This is caused by
hitting a hard object such as a nail or stone,
dulling teeth on one side. The blade wants to
cut to the side with the sharpest teeth.
• Shoe is out of line or bent
• Blade is bent
• Failure to use rip fence or guide
If 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
• Failure to use correct blade
Grip saw with both hands, keeping
hands away from blade
Tighten depth and miter adjusting
levers securely
Set depth of cut 1/8"-1/4" greater
than thickness of stock
Rest saw on larger part of
workpiece, allowing smaller

APPLICATIONS
WARNING To reduce the risk of electric
shock, check work area for hidden pipes and
wires before making plunge cuts.
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 piece,
the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
Support large panels. Be sure to set the depth of
cut so that you cut through workpiece only and not
through the supports.
Fig. 10
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 a rip fence, slide
the bar through the rip fence slot in either side of
the shoe. Adjust for desired width by lining up the
selected measurement with the sighting notch and
lock setting with thumb screw.
When ripping widths greater than 4", clamp or tack
1" lumber to the workpiece as a guide.
Cross-Cutting Wood
Cross-cutting is cutting across the grain. Select the
proper blade for your job. Advance saw slowly to
avoid the tendency of wood bers to tear and lift.
Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the workpiece
when it can not be cut from an edge. We recommend using a Sawzall
if you must use a circular saw to make a pocket cut,
USE EXTREME CAUTION.
1. Beginning at a corner, line up sighting notch with
your cutting line. Tilt saw forward, rmly xing
front of shoe on workpiece. Blade should be
just above cutting line, but not touching it. Raise
lower guard using lower guard lever.
2. Pull trigger. Allow the blade to come to full speed.
Using front of shoe as a hinge point, gradually
lower back end of saw into workpiece (Fig. 11).

for this type of cut. However,
Fig. 11
3. When shoe rests at against workpiece (Fig. 12),
move saw to far corner. Release trigger and
allow blade to come to a complete stop before
removing it from workpiece. Repeat the above
steps for each side of the opening. Use a Saw-
®
zall
, jig saw, or small hand saw to nish corners
if they are not completely cut through.
Fig. 12
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.
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. MILWAUKEE does not recommend using
bonded abrasive wheels on circular saws for any
application.
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. Unplug the tool
and frequently clean dust from air vents and guards.
9
WARNING Do not use tool for cutting
metal near ammable material. Sparks may
cause 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 To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug your tool before performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool or try to do any rewiring
on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
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
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. 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 necessary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
