OPERATION

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Unplug the tool before changing accessories or making adjustments.

Two Speed Switch (Cat. Nos. 6225 & 6236)

MILWAUKEE Two-Speed Band Saws are equipped with a speed change switch located below the trigger on the handle. To change speeds, stop the motor and slide the speed change switch to "HI" or "LO" as indicated on the tool. For cutting problem materials, use "LO" speed. Never change from one speed to the other while the motor is running.

Starting, Stopping, and Controlling Speed (Cat. No. 6230)

Typical Application (Figs. 2 & 3)

1.Keep the blade off the workpiece until the motor has reached the selected speed.

CorrectIncorrect

1.To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger.

2.To vary the speed, increase or decrease pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.

3.To select a maximum preset speed at any point within the speed range, rotate the red knurled knob located on the trigger to the desired position.

4.To stop the tool, release the trigger. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from a partial cut or laying the tool down.

3.Place the work steady rest against the workpiece and lower the moving saw blade into the cut.

4.Do not bear down while cutting. The weight of the tool will supply adequate pressure for the fastest cutting.

5.When completing a cut, hold the tool firmly so it will not fall against the workpiece (Fig. 3).
