If the clutch is not slipping when it should, for example when the saw is bogged down in a cut, loosen the ad- justing bolt flange to the next mark coun- terclockwise (D).
5.Replace the sprocket cover and make a few test cuts and readjust if neces- sary.
Tighten the clutch only enough that it will not slip during a normal cut, but slips when the saw is bogged down. If re- peated slippage occurs after adjusting, take the chain saw to an authorized MILWAUKEE repair facility for adjust- ment or repair.

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool's electrical system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may af- fect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off imme- diately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the following:
•Lubrication
•Brush inspection and replacement
•Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
•Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
•Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and damage to the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool since certain clean- ing agents and solvents are harmful to plas- tics and other insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter- gents containing ammonia. Never use flam- mable or combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center.
