Milwaukee COMPOUND MITER SAW manual Operation

OPERATION

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Always wait for the blade to stop com- pletely and unplug the tool before changing accessories or making adjustments. Do not defeat the guards.

Collecting Dust

For dust collection, MILWAUKEE recommends using either Dust Bag No. 48-09-1025 or a MILWAUKEE Vacuum Cleaner. The dust tube is de- signed to accept a standard vacuum hose and swivels for convenience.

Using Face Boards

There are face board mounting holes in the fences for attaching face boards. Face boards place distance between the fence and the workpiece, providing improved support for some workpieces. For ex- ample, as the width of the face board increases, the height of the workpiece which can be cut increases slightly (but the width capacity decreases slightly). Similarly, if you place a face board on the saw table and place a workpiece on top of the face board, you can cut a workpiece with greater width (but with less height).

Guards

The tool is shipped with both the upper and lower guard installed. The lower guard should cover the blade when the saw head is up and it should open automatically as the saw head is lowered into the workpiece. If the lower guard appears loose or if it does not move to cover the blade when the saw head is up, take the saw to an authorized service center for repairs. Do not attempt to open the guard further than the automatic action permits. The tool is designed so that when the guard is opened with the saw head in the up position, the saw head cannot be lowered.

Select the Workpiece Carefully

Be cautious of pitchy, knotty, wet or warped workpieces. These materi- als are likely to create pinching conditions. Workpieces that bow and pinch may result in kick back. Inspect for and remove nails before cut- ting. Always keep blades clean and sharp; otherwise the blade pro- duces a narrow kerf and is likely to be pinched by the workpiece. This tool is not recommended for cutting ferrous metals such as iron and steel. See Applications for a more complete list of materials.

Support the Workpiece Properly (Figs. 2 & 3)

Always support the workpiece during operation. Otherwise, the workpiece may pull up and into the saw. While there are many ways to support and secure workpieces, MILWAUKEE advises using one of the following three methods.

1.Use the Fence: Align the workpiece flush against the fence as shown to provide a straight path for the saw blade. This will help eliminate the tendency for the blade teeth to bind. The fence can be used as a support for miter, bevel and compound cuts.

2.Use Vise No. 49-52-0310:Clamp the workpiece to the base using the MILWAUKEE vise (Fig. 2). The vise fits into the slot on the back of the left fence.

3.Use a C-clamp:Clamp the workpiece to the fence with a C-clamp (Fig. 3).

Support of Longer Workpieces

Longer workpieces need support along their length. If you are using the saw on a level work bench, prop up the workpiece with a small piece of 2x4 on its edge. (The saw base surface is 3 1/2" (the width of a 2x4) from the bottom of the saw feet.) There are also many aftermarket work tables specifically designed for miter saws that provide supports for all types of workpieces.
