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
(Fig. 15). Release the lower guard lever
and grasp the front handle.
3. When the shoe rests fl at against work-
piece, advance the saw to the far corner
(Fig. 16). Release the trigger and allow
the blade to come to a complete stop
before removing it from workpiece. Re-
peat the above steps for each side of the
opening. Use a Sawzall® reciprocating
saw, jig saw or small hand saw to fi nish
the corners if they are not completely
cut through.

Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger
in good repair by adopting a regular main-
tenance program. After six months to one
year, depending on use, return the tool,
battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning
(gears, spindles, bearings, housing,
etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack,
charger, motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and
electrical operation
If the tool does not start or operate at full
power with a fully charged battery pack,
clean the contacts on the battery pack. If
the tool still does not work properly, return
the tool, charger and battery pack to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
Maintaining and Storing Battery Pack
V28™ Lithium-Ion battery packs will operate
for many years and/or hundreds of charging
cycles when they are maintained and used
correctly. Refer to your battery pack and
charger operator's manual for proper care
and use.
MAINTENANCE WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury, 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.
Cleaning
Clean out dust and debris from vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with com-
pressed air. 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, keeping away from all electri-
cal contacts. 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 fl ammable or combustible sol-
vents around tools.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid
or allow a liquid to fl ow inside them.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or explo-
sion, never burn or incinerate a bat-
tery pack even if it is damaged, dead
or completely discharged. When
burned, toxic fumes and materials
are created.
Disposing of Lithium-Ion Battery Packs
Lithium-Ion battery packs are more envi-
ronmentally friendly than some other types
of power tool battery packs (e.g., nickel-
cadmium). Always dispose of your battery
pack according to federal, state and local
regulations. Contact a recycling agency in
your area for recycling locations.
Even discharged battery packs contain some
energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape
to cover the terminals to prevent the battery
pack from shorting, which could cause a fi re
or explosion.
