GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

WARNING

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in ex-

plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. When operating a power tool out-

doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable

for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

9. Stay alert, watch what you are do-

ing 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 medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your ﬁ nger on

the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12. 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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. 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.

15. If devices are provided for the connec-

tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these de-

vices can reduce dust-related hazards.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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 preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

19. Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tools or these instructions to operate power tools. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

20. 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.

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

22. Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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.

23. Ensure the switch is in the off posi-

tion before inserting battery pack.

Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

24. Recharge only with the charger speci- ﬁ 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.

25. Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.

26. 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.

27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may

be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid con- tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery

may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

28. 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 — CIRCULAR SAWS

1. DANGER!: Keep hands away from cutting area

and 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 work-

piece. The guard cannot protect you

from the blade below the workpiece.

Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-

ness 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 power tool by insulated grip-

ping surfaces 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 tool “live” and shock the operator.

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 arbor 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 bolts. The blade washers

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

2. Causes and Operator Prevention of

KICKBACK:

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 mis-

aligned 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 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 jumb backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

When blade is binding, or when inter-

rupting 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 cor-

rective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

When restarting a saw in the work-

piece, center 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 minimize 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 blade.

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

Blade depth and bevel adjusting lock-

ing 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 making a

"plunge cut" (or pocket cut) into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

3. Check lower guard for proper closing

before each use. Do not operate 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 lower guard lever 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 buildup of debris.

Lower guard should be retracted

manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" ("pocket cuts") and "compound cuts". Raise lower guard by lower guard lever 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 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.

4. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

5. 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 chemi-

cally-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 ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

Causes and Operator Prevention of KICKBACK:

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, or cutting slot, 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 operator.

KICKBACK is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

1. Maintain a ﬁ rm grip with both hands

on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can

be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

2. When blade is binding, or when inter-

rective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

3. When restarting a saw in the work-

piece, center the saw blade in the kerf, or cut, 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.

4. Support large panels to minimize 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.

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

6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting lock-

ing levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.

7. Use extra caution when making a

“Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.

8. Set the depth of cut for no more than

1/8" to 1/4" greater than the thickness of the stock. The less blade exposed,

the less chance of binding and KICKBACK. Before cutting, be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

9. Be cautious of pitchy, knotty, wet or warped stock. These are most likely to create pinching conditions and possible KICKBACK. Do not rip warped lumber. Avoid cutting nails.

10. Use a rip fence or edge guide when ripping. Guides improve control and reduce blade binding.

11. Stay alert. Any distraction can cause twisting or binding. Repetitive cuts may lull the user into careless movements.

General Operation

Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw horse or bench (Fig. 10). See “APPLICATIONS” for the correct way to support your work in different situations.

Fig. 11

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. 12).

Fig. 12

2. Line up the sight line with your cutting line. Position your arms and body to resist KICKBACK.

3. T o start the saw, push the lock-of f 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 firm 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 im- mediately. 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.

Cold Weather Operation

The V28 Lithium-Ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down to -4°F. When the battery pack is very cold, it may pulse for the ﬁ rst minute of use to warm itself up. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light application. After about a minute, the pack will have warmed itself up and operate normally.

Troubleshooting

If the blade does not follow a straight line:

• T eeth 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

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. Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you only cut through the workpiece, not through the supports.

Fig. 13

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. T o 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" lumber to workpiece and use the inside edge of the shoe as a guide.

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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before making pocket cuts.

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 reciprocating saw or jig saw for this type of cut. However, if you must use a circular saw to make a pocket cut, USE EXTREME CAUTION. To maintain control of the saw during pocket 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. 14). The blade should be just above cutting line, but not touching it. Raise the lower guard using the lower guard lever.

Fig. 14

2. T o start the saw, push the lock-of f 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 (Fig. 15). Release the lower guard lever and grasp the front handle.

Fig. 15

10 11

3. When the shoe rests ﬂ at against work- piece, advance the saw to the far corner (Fig. 16). 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

reciprocating saw, jig saw or small hand saw to ﬁ nish the corners if they are not completely cut through.
