GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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, ases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operat-
in 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.
4. Grounded tools must be plu ed into an outlet properly
installed and rounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the roundin pron or modify
the plu in any way. Do not use any adaptor plu s. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly rounded. f 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 plu
(one blade is wider than the other). This plu will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plu does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plu . If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not chan e
the plu 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 rounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ran es and refri erators. 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 plu from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp ed es or movin parts. Replace dama ed cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operatin 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.
10. Stay alert, watch what you are doin , and use common sense
when operatin a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of dru s, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothin or jewelry.
Contain lon hair. Keep your hair, clothin , and loves away
from movin parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
12. Avoid accidental startin . Be sure switch is off before
plu in in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools with the switch on invites accidents.
13. Remove adjustin keys or wrenches before turnin the
tool on. 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 footin 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.
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 plu from the power source before makin
any adjustments, chan in accessories, or storin 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 cuttin 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 misali nment or bindin of movin parts, break-
a e of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
tools operation. If dama ed, have the tool serviced before
usin . Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manu-
facturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
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 servicin 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
nstructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

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 exten-
sion 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. f you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add
the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required mini-
mum wire size.
Guidelines for Usin Extension Cords
 f 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.
GROUNDING EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded Tools:
Tools with Three Pron Plu s
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). f the tool should
electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low re-
sistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock.
Improperly connectin the roundin 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 rounded. Do not
modify the plu provided with the tool. Never
remove the roundin pron from the plu . Do
not use the tool if the cord or plu is dama ed. If
dama ed, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE
service facility before use. If the plu will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE USE.
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 Pron Plu s
Tools marked Double nsulated do
not require grounding. They have a
special double insulation system
which satisfies OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Labora-
tories, nc., the Canadian Standard
Association and the National Electri-
cal Code. Double nsulated tools may
be used in either of the 120 volt out-
lets shown in Figures B and C.

1. Unplug the tool.
2. Push the Quik-Lok tension lever as far as it will go and hold it in
position (Fig. 1).
3. Fit the saw blade into the groove in the support roller and push it
firmly into the plunger as far as it will go; the lug of the saw blade
must be in the plunger.
4. Release the Quik-Lok tension lever and the saw blade is automati-
cally held.
5. Check that the saw blade is held firmly; the slot in the plunger will be
at an angle to the saw (Fig. 2).
Adjustin the shoe (Fi . 3)
The shoe may be tilted up to 45° in either direction and moved forward or
backward.
1. To set a tilt an le for an le cuts and bevels, loosen the shoe
screw, pull the base backward slightly until the retaining lugs are no
longer engaged. Tilt to the required preset angle (15°, 30°, or 45°) as
read on the tilt angle scale. Push back into the retaining lugs and
tighten the shoe screw. f angles other than the presets are re-
quired, set the desired angle and tighten the shoe screw without
engaging the retaining lugs.
f very exact angles are needed it is recommended that a test cut
and subsequent adjustment be made.
2. To move the shoe back for plun e cuts or cuts in corners,
loosen the shoe screw and pull the shoe all the way back. The shoe
screw will fit into a slot to hold the shoe at 0°.
Usin the Shoe Cover
The non-marring shoe cover is used to prevent marring and scratching
of the workpiece surface. To attach the shoe cover, hook the front of the
cover over the steel shoe. Next, snap the rear of the shoe cover to the
steel shoe. Be sure both sides are snapped in place.
When the shoe cover is not needed, remove it by pulling the tabs on rear
of the shoe cover outward from the steel shoe. Unhook the front of the
