CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procederes
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. Cutting accessory contacting a „live“
wire may 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.
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 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
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.
WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test
given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly
increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched offor
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and
the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
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 may 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 floor. 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is
recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy
non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to
health. Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system
and wear a suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited
dust thoroughly, e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given
in these instructions for use.
It is necessary to select a saw blade which is suitable for the
material being cut.
Use only woodworking blades specified in this manual, which
comply with EN 847-1.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
Do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
Do not fix the on/offswitch in the „on“ position when using the
saw hand-held.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse
or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old
batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in
dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme
load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery
acid wash it offimmediately with soap and water. In case of eye
contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and
immediately seek medical attention.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain
industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products,
etc., can cause a short circuit.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This electronic circular saw can cut lengthways and mitre
accurately in wood.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal
use.
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.
You must always wait for the blade to stop completely before
removing the saw from the workpiece.
