GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and
sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
5. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools
or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked W-A or W. These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools with the switch on invites accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the
tool. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
16. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
17. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
18. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
19. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools Do not use until repaired.
22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified per-
sonnel could result in a risk of injury.
25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
page 2
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES SAWZALLS
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a live wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool live and shock the operator.
2. Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
4. 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 specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

GROUNDING EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can
result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified 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 fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified 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.
Fig. A
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 suffix 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 qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat
and damp or wet areas.

Removing broken blades from the Quik-Lok
Blade Clamp
Unplug the tool before removing blades. Broken blades can be removed
by the following methods.
Point the tool downward, twist the collar, and shake the tool up and
down. (DO NOT turn the tool on while your fingers are holding the
blade clamp open). The shank of the broken blade should drop out
of the clamp.
If shaking the tool doesn't work...
In most cases, a corner of the broken blade will extend beyond the
blade clamp. Simply twist the collar and pull the broken blade out of
the clamp by this corner.
If the broken stub doesn't extend far enough to be grabbed by its
corner, use a thin blade with small teeth (such as a metal cutting
blade) to hook the blade that is jammed in the clamp while twisting
the collar and pull it out.

General Cutting
For straight or contour cutting from an edge, line the blade up with your
cutting line. Before the blade contacts the workpiece, grasp the handle
firmly and pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along your cutting line.
Always hold the shoe flat against the workpiece to avoid excessive
vibration.
Cutting Metals
Begin cutting at a slow speed, gradually increasing speed as you cut.
When cutting into metals or hard materials that can not be cut from an
edge, drill a starting hole larger than the widest part of the blade. Extend
blade life by using a solid blade cutting lubricant such as MILWAUKEE

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.
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. 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
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock
and property damage, always check the work
area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or
water pipes when making blind or plunge cuts.
1. Insert the blade into the tool.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing downward, hold the
tool as shown in Column A, resting the edge of the shoe on the
workpiece.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing upward, hold the tool
as shown in Column B, resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece
as shown.
2. With the blade just above the workpiece, pull the trigger. Using the
edge of the shoe as a pivot, lower the blade into the workpiece as
shown.
3. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of the tool slowly until
the shoe rests firmly on the workpiece. Then guide the tool along
your cutting line to acquire the desired cut.
NOTE: To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy gauge blade and
install the blade with the teeth facing upward as shown in Column B.
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 flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
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 flow inside the tool.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service
center listed on the back cover of this operators manual.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES
AVERTISSEMENT!
VOUS DEVEZ LIRE ET COMPRENDRE TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS.
Le non-respect, même partiel, des instructions ci-après entraîne un risque de choc
électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessures graves.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS.
AIRE DE TRAVAIL
1. Veillez à ce que laire de travail soit propre et bien éclairée.
Le désordre et le manque de lumière favorisent les accidents.
2. Nutilisez pas doutils électriques dans une atmosphère ex-
plosive, par exemple en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de
poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques créent des
étincelles qui pourraient enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
3. Tenez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs
pendant que vous travaillez avec un outil électrique. Ils
pourraient vous distraire et vous faire faire une fausse manoeuvre.
Installez des barrières ou des écrans protecteurs si nécessaire.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
4. Les outils mis à la terre doivent être branchés dans une
prise de courant correctement installée et mise à la terre
conformément à tous les codes et règlements pertinents.
Ne modifiez jamais la fiche de quelque façon que ce soit,
par exemple en enlevant la broche de mise à la terre.
Nutilisez pas dadaptateur de fiche. Si vous nêtes pas
certain que la prise de courant est correctement mise à la
terre, adressez-vous à un électricien qualifié. En cas de
défaillance ou de défectuosité électrique de loutil, une mise à la
terre offre un trajet de faible résistance à lélectricité qui autrement
risquerait de traverser lutilisateur.
5. Les outils à double isolation sont équipés dune fiche
polarisée (une des lames est plus large que lautre), qui ne
peut se brancher que dune seule façon dans une prise
polarisée. Si la fiche nentre pas parfaitement dans la prise,
inversez sa position ; si elle nentre toujours pas bien,
demandez à un électricien qualifié dinstaller une prise de
courant polarisée. Ne modifiez pas la fiche de loutil.
La double isolation élimine le besoin dun cordon dalimentation à
trois fils avec mise à la terre ainsi que dune prise de courant mise à
la terre.
6. Évitez tout contact corporel avec des surfaces mises à la
terre (tuyauterie, radiateurs, cuisinières, réfrigérateurs,
etc.). Le risque de choc électrique est plus grand si votre corps est
en contact avec la terre.
7. Nexposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie ou à leau. La
présence deau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc
électrique.
8. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne transportez pas loutil par
son cordon et ne débranchez pas la fiche en tirant sur le
cordon. Nexposez pas le cordon à la chaleur, à des huiles, à
des arêtes vives ou à des pièces en mouvement. Remplacez
immédiate-ment un cordon endommagé. Un cordon
endommagé augmente le risque de choc électrique.
9. Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à lextérieur,
employez un prolongateur pour lextérieur marqué « W-A »
ou « W ». Ces cordons sont faits pour être utilisés à lextérieur et
réduisent le risque de choc électrique.
SÉCURITÉ DES PERSONNES
en mouvement. Des vêtements flottants, des bijoux ou des
cheveux longs risquent dêtre happés par des pièces en mouvement.
12. Méfiez-vous dun démarrage accidentel. Avant de brancher
loutil, assurez-vous que son interrupteur est sur ARRÊT. Le
fait de transporter un outil avec le doigt sur la détente ou de brancher
un outil dont linterrupteur est en position MARCHE peut mener tout
droit à un accident.
13. Enlevez les clés de réglage ou de serrage avant de démarrer
loutil. Une clé laissée dans une pièce tournante de loutil peut
provoquer des blessures.
14. Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un bon appui
et restez en équilibre en tout temps. Un bonne stabilité vous
permet de mieux réagir à une situation inattendue.
15. Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez toujours des
lunettes ou une visière. Selon les conditions, portez aussi un
masque antipoussière, des bottes de sécurité antidérapantes, un
casque protecteur et/ou un appareil antibruit.
UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS
16. Immobilisez le matériau sur une surface stable au moyen
de brides ou de toute autre façon adéquate. Le fait de tenir la
pièce avec la main ou contre votre corps offre une stabilité
insuffisante et peut amener un dérapage de loutil.
17. Ne forcez pas loutil. Utilisez loutil approprié à la tâche. Loutil
correct fonctionne mieux et de façon plus sécuritaire. Respectez
aussi la vitesse de travail qui lui est propre.
18. Nutilisez pas un outil si son interrupteur est bloqué. Un outil
