WARNING

MAINTENANCE

Only use accessories with maxi- mum speed rating at least as high as nameplate RPM of tool.

When cutting masonry, use a diamond blade. Make successive passes at depths of less than 1/4" to achieve the desired depth. Cut- ting at a depth of more than 1/4" will damage wheel. Unplug the tool and frequently clean dust from air vents and guards.

WARNING

Toreducetheriskofinjury,alwaysun- plug your tool before performing any maintenance.Neverdisassemblethe tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Maintaining Oil Level

Check oil level before use. To check level, set saw for maximum depth, rest it flat on its shoe and check oil level window. Oil level should be below max oil level line on tool (about 1/2 oz.).

If oil level is low:

1.Add oil by setting the saw on its shoe and removing the oil plug.

3.When shoe rests flat against workpiece (Fig. 16), move saw to far corner. Release trigger and allow blade to come to a com- plete stop before removing it from work- piece. Repeat the above steps for each side of the opening. Use a Sawzall®, jig saw, or small hand saw to finish corners if they are not completely cut through.

Cutting Masonry and Metal

MILWAUKEE circular saws are not intended for continuous use in cutting metal or ma- sonry. When cutting these materials, use the correct blade. MILWAUKEE does not recommend using bonded abrasive wheels on circular saws for any application.

WARNING

Dust, chips, and grit can cause guard to hang up at any time. If saw is used to cut masonry or metal, reserve and mark it for that purpose only and return it to a MILWAUKEE service facility for cleaning and testing before using it for wood cutting.

WARNING

Do not use tool for cutting metal near flammable material. Sparks may cause fire.

When cutting metal, use a metal cutting blade. Set depth of cut to full depth. Protect everyone in the area from sparks.

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 affect its safe op- eration. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately 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

2.Pour oil into the chamber. DO NOT OVER FILL.

3.When the proper oil level is reached, replace oil plug.

MILWAUKEE oil is a synthetic oil specifically engineered for worm drive saws. Substitute oils may cause damage to the tool and be unsatisfactory in various temperatures. Check oil level frequently when using tool for extended periods. (Caution: Oil may be hot.)

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 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 con- taining ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center.
