Step 4 - Adjusting the Blade - Perpendicularity
If you remove the saw motor without making sure
that the factory-set adjustment screw contacts the
plate on the saw motor, then the blade will not be
perpendicular (90°) to the workpiece, possibly result-
ing in inaccurate cuts.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. To adjust for perpendicularity, loosen the two
mounting nuts on the front of the saw motor. The
adjustment screw is located to the right of these
nuts.
3. Loosen the lock nut under the bracket. Tighten or
loosen the adjustment screw depending on the
angle adjustment required. ONLY make slight
adjustments.
4. Tighten the lock nut, making sure the screw is
against the upright plate.
5. Tighten the two hex nuts to secure the saw.
6. Plug in the tool and make a sample cut. Repeat
the procedure if necessary.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution, such as the
49-22-8105 Dust Collecting Kit.
Unplug the tool before changing accessories or
making adjustments.
Selecting a Blade
A Combination/Rip blade is supplied with the tool.
MILWAUKEE recommends using one of the blades
listed in "Accessories". These blades will provide the
best tool performance and the best cut. Always keep
blades clean and sharp for the best performance. A
dull or dirty blade can bind and pinch, resulting in
kick back or a poor cut.
Changing Blades
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Remove the blade guard (see "Installing the Blade
Guard").
3. To remove the bolt from the spindle, use the
wrench provided with the tool to turn the bolt
counterclockwise while holding in the spindle lock
button.
4. Remove the outer flange, blade, and inner flange.
Clean the spindle, flanges, bolt and blade to re-
move buildup of dust and debris.
5. Replace the inner flange.
6. Install the blade with the arrow pointing counter-
clockwise.
7. Replace the outer flange. Tighten the bolt clock-
wise using the wrench provided while holding in
the spindle lock button.
8. Install the blade guard (see "Installing the Blade
Guard").
NOTE: It may be necessary to readjust the rul-
ers after changing or resharpening blades (see
"Adjusting the Rulers").
To reduce the risk of injury, make
WARNING
sure the tool is OFF before plug-
ging in the tool.
Starting and Stopping the Motor
1. To start the saw motor, lift the switch up. The
switch will stay up until it is pushed down.
2. To stop the saw motor, push the switch down.
Do not cut a workpieces that has a
WARNING
width smaller than that of the saw
carriage. Proper support for the workpiece must
be maintained to insure safety. When the carriage
moves over the workpiece, it would be impos-
sible to safely support the workpiece for the cut.
Use a tool better suited for these applications.
Cross-Cutting
A cross-cut is a vertical cut that must always be done
from the top to the bottom of a workpiece.
MILWAUKEE recommends using the Hold Down Bar
Kit for frequent cutting of workpieces thinner than 1/4"
(see "Accessories").
The workpiece must be supported by a minimum
of two rollers. When using the Midway Fence Kit,
material must extend at least 4" beyond the saw
carriage on either side.
For easier cutting and best performance,
MILWAUKEE recommends using an Extension Kit
when cross-cutting workpieces that extend beyond
the blade by 5' or more on one side. Do not cross-cut
workpieces that exceed 8'.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
WARNING
place hands on or under saw car-
riage or in the path of the saw blade.
Making the Cut:
1. Rotate the saw motor to the cross-cutting position.
To rotate the motor, pull out the indexing pins and
rotate the saw motor. Lock the indexing pins into
the preset holes on the saw carriage. The pins are
spring-loaded and should snap into place.
