Cross-Cutting Wood

1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight

MAINTENANCE

Cross-cutting is cutting across the grain. Select the proper blade for your job. Ad- vance the saw slowly to avoid splintering the wood.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock,

line with your cutting line. Tilt the saw

forward, firmly fixing the front of the shoe

on the workpiece. The blade should be

just above cutting line, but not touching

it. Raise the lower guard using the lower

guard lever.

2. To start the saw, push the lock-off button

down while pulling the trigger. Allow the

motor to reach full speed before begin-

ning cut. Using the front of the shoe as

a hinge point, gradually lower the back

end of the saw into the workpiece. Re-

lease the lower guard lever and grasp

the front handle.

3. When the shoe rests flat against work-

piece, advance the saw to the far corner.

Release the trigger and allow the blade

to come to a complete stop before re-

moving it from workpiece. Repeat the

above steps for each side of the open-

ing. Use a Sawzall® reciprocating saw,

jig saw or small hand saw to finish the

corners if they are not completely cut

through.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Keep your tool, battery pack and char- ger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for:

•Lubrication

•Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury and damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gaso- line, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible sol- vents around tools.

Repairs

check work area for hidden pipes and wires before making pocket cuts.

Pocket Cutting

Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the workpiece when it can not be cut from an edge. We recommend using a Sawzall® reciprocating saw or jig saw for this type of cut. However, if you must use a circular saw to make a pocket cut, USE EXTREME CAUTION. To maintain control of the saw during pocket cutting, keep both hands on the saw (Fig. 14).
