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.

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.
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 elec-
tric shock, check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before making pocket cuts.
Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the work-
piece 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 (Fig. 12).

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.
The blade should be just above cutting line, but
not touching it. Raise the lower guard using the
lower guard lever.
2. To start the saw, push the lock-off button
down while pulling the trigger. Allow the mo-
tor 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. Release the lower guard lever
and grasp the front handle.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool, battery pack or charger.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for
ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return the tool, battery pack and charger to A
MILWAUKEE service facility for:
• Lubrication
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger,
motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and
electrical operation
If the tool does not start or operate at full power
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts
on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
3. When the shoe rests fl at against workpiece,
advance the saw to the far corner. Release the
trigger and allow the blade to come to a com-
plete 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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to fl ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool
vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth
to clean the tool, battery pack and charger 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.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and char-
ger to the nearest service center listed on the back
cover of this operator's manual.
