TOOL ASSEMBLY

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments. Use only specifi- cally recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

Selecting Blade

Select a blade appropriate for your application. Refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of blades for this tool.

Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and increase the chance of KICKBACK. Only use blades with a maximum safe operating speed greater than the no load RPM marked on the tool's nameplate. Read the blade manufacturer's instructions before use. Do not use any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or dry diamond cutting blades. Use the correct blade type for your application. Using the wrong blade may result in reduced performance or damage to the blade. Do not use blades that are cracked or have broken teeth.

Checking the Operation of the Lower Guard

Check the operation and condition of the lower guard lever. If the guard and the lever are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.

1.Unplug tool before checking the lower guard.

2.Place the tool on its side (Fig. 1).

NOTE: This procedure will not show proper lower guard operation if the tool is not on its side.

3.Grasp the lower guard by the sides and push it all the way back into the blade housing.

4.Release the lower guard.

If the guard immediately springs back into place, it is working correctly and you may continue with use.

If the guard does not immediate spring back into place, clean the upper and lower guards to remove all chips and debris. Then, check

the operation again by starting with step 1.

If the guard still does not immediately spring back into place, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

Removing and Installing Chip Container

WARNING

NEVER operate tool when guards and chip container are not installed. Serious injury may occur.

To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields when removing the chip container. Chips and debris may fly up into the face.

1.Unplug tool before removing or installing chip container.

2.To remove the chip container, open the latch and pull the chip container off of the tab.

3.To install the chip container, fit the tab pin onto the tab, position the chip container, and secure the latch.
