– 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 incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
•Maintain a firm 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 kick-
back 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. Largepanelstend
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
bladeadjustmentshiftswhile 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. Donotoperate the sawif lower guard
does not movefreely and close instantly.Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower
guardmaybebent.Raisethe 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 dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of
debris.
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
guardcannotprotectyoufromthebladebelow 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, alwaysuse a ripfence 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 orincorrect blade washers
or bolt. Thebladewashers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance
and safety of operation.

PERSONAL SAFETY
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WORK AREA SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operatepower tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Powertoolscreatesparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
•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. Unmodified 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. Thereis an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose powertools to rain or wet condi-
tions. 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 residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Useof an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
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.
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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 thepower tool ifthe 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-
ventivesafetymeasuresreducetheriskofstarting
the power tool accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Powertools 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. Manyaccidents
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 accountthe 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.
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sensewhen operatingapower tool.Do
not usea powertool whileyou are tiredor under
theinfluence of drugs, alcohol ormedication. 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
hearingprotectionusedfor 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. Carryingpowertoolswith
yourfingerontheswitchorenergisingpowertools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. Awrench or a key left
•Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquidejectedfrom the battery may cause irritation
or burns. SERVICE
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. Thiswillensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

•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 cov-
ering the blade before placing saw down on
bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade
will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whateveris in its path. Be awareofthetimeittakes
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
•crystallinesilicafrombricksand cement and other
masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Yourriskfrom 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 dustmasksthatare spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

General Operation
Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw
horse or bench. See “APPLICATIONS” for the cor-
rectwaytosupportyourworkindifferent situations.
1. Drawacuttingline.Placethefront 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).

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.
trigger and when the brake engages. Occasionally
thebrakemaymiss completely. If the brake misses
frequently, the saw needs servicing by an autho-
rizedMILWAUKEEservice facility.Thebrake is not
asubstitute for the guard, and youmustalwayswait
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
2. Lineup the sight linewith your cutting line. Posi-
tion your arms and body to resist KICKBACK.
3. To start the saw, push the lock-off button down
whilepullingthetrigger.Allow the motor to reach
full speed before beginning cut.
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.

OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
Cross-Cutting Wood
Cross-cuttingiscuttingacross 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" lumber to workpiece and use the inside edge of
the shoe as a guide.
Plunge Cutting
Plunge cuts are made in the middle of the work-
piecewhen it can notbe cut from anedge. Werec-
ommend using a Sawzall®reciprocating saw or jig
saw for this type of cut. However, if you must use a
circularsawtomake 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
yourcuttingline.Tiltthesawforward,firmlyfixing
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.

5. Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely.
Causesand Operator Prevention of KICKBACK:
KICKBACK is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an un-
controlled 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 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 firm 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 kick-
back 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
4. While cutting, keep the shoe flat 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 cut-
ting 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 firm grip
and release the trigger immediately. Hold the
saw motionless in the workpiece until the blade
comes to a complete stop.
7. After finishing 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
