FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

ASSEMBLY

all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

•Always observe that the lower guard is cov- ering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

•Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

•WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paint

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-

cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING Recharge only with the charger specified for the battery. For specific charging instructions, read the operator’s manual supplied with your charger and battery.

WARNING Always remove battery pack before changing or removing acces- sories. Only use accessories specifically recommended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.

Removing Battery Pack from Tool

Push in the release buttons and pull the battery pack away from the tool.

Inserting Battery Pack into Tool

To insert the battery pack onto the tool, slide the pack onto the body of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.

Selecting Blade

Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and increase the chance of KICKBACK (see "Causes and Operator Prevention of KICKBACK"). Only use thin kerf 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.
